Claim Text:
1. An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding an acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) exhibiting 90% or greater identity to an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 3, and SEQ ID NO: 5; wherein the AHAS has at least one amino acid substitution at an amino acid position selected from the group consisting of R9, G35, A36, L38, I56, G114, A116, A122, I171, K173, I186, N194, A234, M272, D296, D297, P319, K337, S348, P352, F361, E364, V367, V491, W494, F498, D500, P567, and G568 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 3, or 5; and further wherein said AHAS has reduced sensitivity to an AHAS inhibitor compared to the AHASs encoded by SEQ ID NO 1, 3 or 5.
