Abstract
The invention relates to novel methods and compositions for conferring tolerance to glyphosate to plants. The invention also provides glyphosate-tolerant plants, seeds, tissue, cells, and plant parts comprising modified EPSP synthases and recombinant DNA molecules encoding modified EPSP synthases, as well as methods of producing the same and the use thereof.
