ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are plants, plant tissue and plant seed, whose growth and development are tolerant of, or resistant to various imidazole and triazole herbicidal compounds, at levels which normally are inhibitory to the plants. The tolerance or resistance is conferred by an altered imidazoleglycerol phosphate dehydratase (IGPD). Plant genes encoding wild-type and altered IGPD, purified plant IGPD, methods of isolating IGPD from plants, and methods of using both purified IGPD and IGPD-encoding genes are also disclosed.
