ABSTRACT:
A DNA sequence is provided which encodes an altered form of native Zea mays dihydrodipicolinic acid synthase (DHPS) which is substantially resistant to concentrations of L-lysine which inhibit the activity of native Zea mays DHPS, either in vitro or in transformed plant cells or whole plants.
