Compositions and methods for conferring herbicide resistance to plants,
plant cells, tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions comprising a
coding sequence for a polypeptide that confers resistance or tolerance to
glyphosate herbicides are provided. The coding sequences can be used in
DNA constructs or expression cassettes for transformation and expression
in plants. Compositions also comprise transformed plants, plant cells,
tissues, and seeds. In particular, isolated nucleic acid molecules
encoding glyphosate resistance proteins are provided. Additionally, amino
acid sequences corresponding to the polynucleotides are encompassed. In
particular, the present invention provides for isolated nucleic acid
molecules comprising nucleotide sequences encoding the amino acid
sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:2 or the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ
ID NO:1.
