Abstract
The methods and materials disclosed herein are directed to glyphosate herbicide tolerance in plants. In particular, the isolation of a glyphosate resistant EPSP synthase coding sequence from Eleusine indica. The coding sequence is useful to genetically engineer plants for tolerance to glyphosate herbicide.
