Genes conferring herbicide resistance

A plant having stably incorporated into its genome a DNA construct comprising at least one nucleotide sequence encoding a glyphosate resistance protein selected from the group consisting of:

• a) a nucleic acid molecule comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 or a complement thereof;
• b) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 or a complement thereof;
• c) a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2;
• and
• d) a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a polypeptide having at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2.

A method for conferring resistance to glyphosate in a plant, comprising:

• a) stably integrating into the genome of a plant cell a DNA construct comprising a promoter operably linked to a nucleotide sequence of interest encoding a glyphosate resistance protein, wherein said nucleotide sequence of interest is selected from the group consisting of:
• i) the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ NO:1;
• ii) a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2;
• and,
• iii) a nucleotide sequence that is 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:1;
• and
• b) regenerating said cell into a plant.
