Claim:
1. A nucleotide sequence encoding a plant derived EPSPS enzyme that confers glyphosate resistance to a plant, characterized in that the nucleotide sequence comprises at least one mutation as compared with a corresponding wild type nucleotide sequence, wherein said mutation corresponds to a change into an Aspartic Acid or Glutamic Acid in the encoded EPSPS enzyme at a position corresponding to position 44 in SEQ ID NO: 5, and wherein the plant derived EPSPS enzyme has EPSPS enzymatic activity and comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 90% identity over its entire length with at least one amino acid sequence chosen from SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
