The invention relates to novel methods and compositions for conferring tolerance to glyphosate to plants. The invention also provides glyphosate-tolerant plants, seeds, tissue, cells, and plant parts comprising modified EPSP synthases and recombinant DNA molecules encoding modified EPSP synthases, as well as methods of producing the same and the use thereof.

Methods and compositions for herbicide tolerance in plants

The present invention provides methods of detecting for the presence of a polynucleotide in vivo. These methods are particularly useful for performing identification and/or analysis of samples or specimens in which it is impossible, impractical, or undesirable to move or remove them from their current environment. Methods of practicing the present invention for the purpose of identifying and/or analyzing transgenic plant tissue or cells, in addition to animal tissue or cells and bacterial cells are also provided.

Methods of polynucleotide detection

An improved method for selecting among DNA constructs conferring herbicide tolerance for those which confer superior vegetative and reproductive tolerance in crop plants. Additionally, an improved method for selecting among DNA constructs conferring herbicide tolerance for those which confer superior tolerance in vegetative tissues of crop plants but little or no tolerance in male reproductive tissues of crop plants for the purpose of producing male sterile plants useful in a hybrid crop production system.
