Compositions and methods for conferring herbicide resistance or tolerance
to bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues and seeds are provided.
Compositions include polynucleotides encoding herbicide resistance or
tolerance polypeptides, vectors comprising those polynucleotides, and
host cells comprising the vectors. The nucleotide sequences of the
invention can be used in DNA constructs or expression cassettes for
transformation and expression in organisms, including microorganisms and
plants. Compositions also include transformed bacteria, plants, plant
cells, tissues, and seeds. In particular, isolated polynucleotides
encoding glyphosate resistance or tolerance polypeptides are provided.
Additionally, amino acid sequences corresponding to the polynucleotides
are encompassed. In particular, the present invention provides for
isolated polynucleotides containing nucleotide sequences encoding the
amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25,
27, 29, 31, 33, or 35, or the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID
NO:6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, or 34.
