Present invention relates to the use of the ALS inhibitor herbicides for controlling unwanted vegetation in ALS inhibitor herbicide tolerantplants, more especially, present invention relates to the use of ALS inhibitor herbicides for control of unwanted vegetation in, preferably in sugar beet growing areas in which the, preferably sugar beet comprise a mutation in codon 1705-1707 of an endogenous ALS gene encoding an ALS protein containing an amino acid that is different from tryptophan at position 569, preferably the tryptophan is substituted by leucine.

Methods of using ALS inhibitor herbicides for control of unwanted vegetation in ALS inhibitor herbicide tolerant beta vulgaris plants

The present invention relates to an ALS inhibitor herbicide tolerantplant and parts thereof comprising a mutation of an endogenous acetolactate synthase (ALS) gene, wherein the ALS gene encodes an ALS polypeptide containing an amino acid different from tryptophan at a position 569 of the ALS polypeptide.
