Compositions and methods for conferring herbicide resistance or tolerance
to bacteria, 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 bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues, and seeds. In
particular, isolated nucleic acid molecules corresponding to glyphosate
resistant nucleic acid sequences 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 NOS:2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 14 or the nucleotide
sequence set forth in SEQ ID NOS:1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 28, 29, 30, 31,
32, 33, or 34.
