Abstract

Genomic and cDNA sequences and plant expression vectors for encoding an eukaryotic AHAS small subunit are disclosed. The DNA sequences and vectors are used to transform plants to produce transgenic plants which possess elevated levels of tolerance or resistance to herbicides, such as imidazolinones.
