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
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 an amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3, 6, 8, 11,
19, or 21, or a nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, 2, 4, 5, 7,
9, 10, 18, or 20, as well as variants and fragments thereof.
