The present invention is directed to wheat plants and triticale plants having increased tolerance to an imidazolinone herbicide. More particularly, the present invention includes wheat plants or triticale plants containing one or moreIMI nucleic acids. The present invention also includes seeds produced by these wheat plants and triticale plants, and methods of controlling weeds in the vicinity of these wheat plants and triticale plants.

Wheat plants having increased tolerance to imidazolinone herbicides

Herbicide resistant sunflower plants comprising two different herbicide-resistant alleles of the sunflower acetohydroxyacid synthase large subunit 1 (AHASL1) gene are described. Methods for making these sunflower plants and methods for controlling weeds or other undesired vegetation growing in the vicinity of these sunflower plants are disclosed. Such methods involve the use of acetohydroxyacid synthase-inhibiting herbicides. Methods for controlling parasitic weeds growing on sunflower plants are also described. Additionally provided are methods for determining the genotype of sunflower plants for AHASL1 gene.

Herbicide-resistant sunflower plants with multiple herbicide resistant alleles of AHASL1 and methods of use

The present invention is directed to nucleic acids encoding polypeptides that confer upon a plant tolerance to an imidazolinone and/or other acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) inhibiting herbicide when expressed in the plant. The present invention also provides plants having increased tolerance to an imidazolinone and/or other AHAS-inhibiting herbicide. More particularly, the present invention includes plants containing at least one IMI nucleic acid. The present invention also includes seeds produced by these plants and methods of controlling weeds in the vicinity of these wheat plants.

Mutation involved in increased tolerance to imidazolinone herbicides in plants

The invention relates to methods and compositions for analyzing plant acetohydroxy acid synthase large subunit (AHASL) genes. In particular, the invention relates to methods for the detection of wild-type AHASL alleles and mutant AHASL alleles that encode imidazolinone-tolerant AHASL proteins. The methods involve the use of PCR amplification and novel compositions comprising allele-specific and gene-specific primers to detect the presence of mutant and/or wild-type alleles present at the individual AHASL genes of a plant. Specifically, the methods and compositions are useful for analyzing the three AHASL genes ofand the two AHASL genes ofssp.

The present invention relates to improved methods for the incorporation of DNA into the genome of aplant by means of-mediated transformation. Preferred is the use of thelines deposited with American Type Culture Collection under the Patent Deposit Designation PTA-6170 and PTA-6171.

Methods and compositions for analyzing AHASL genes

The present invention provides purified isolated nucleic acids encoding arabidopsis 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), plasmids encoding HPPD, and transformed cells capable of expressing HPPD. The invention also provides methods for identifying HPPD inhibitors.

This invention is directed to the generation of hybridomas and the monocot-specific monoclonal antibodies prepared from those hybridomas against the acetohydroxyacid synthase enzyme. The monoclonal antibodies are useful to isolate and purify the enzyme. The invention is also directed to peptides corresponding to fragments of the enzyme which then are used to generate the monoclonal antibodies.
