Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). It is highly tolerant to glyphosate, the competitive inhibitor of the substrate phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). The invention also relates to a gene encoding the synthase, a construct and a vector comprising said gene, and a host cell transformed with said construct or vector.
