Abstract
A nucleic acid encoding an acetolactate synthase (ALS) protein that provides resistance to ALS inhibitors, e.g., sulphonylurea and imidazolinone compounds, is provided. The nucleic acid may be used as a selectable marker for expression of a protein of interest in host cells.
Claims24
An isolated polynucleotide encoding an acetolactate synthase protein that provides resistance to toxic sulphonylurea compounds, wherein the amino acid sequence of said acetolactate protein is at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:1.
