The present invention provides a gene coding for the following protein (a)
or (b) showing a high level of resistance to PC herbicides or
sulfonylurea herbicides:
(a) a protein which consists of an amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ
ID NOS: 2, 4, 6 and 8;
(b) a protein which consists of an amino acid sequence derived from the
amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOS: 2, 4, 6 and 8 by
substitution, deletion or addition of at least one or more amino acids,
has resistance to a pyrimidinyl carboxy herbicide, and has acetolactate
synthase activity.
