Patent ID: 8389809

Claim:
A method of controlling weeds within the vicinity of a wheat plant, comprising applying an imidazolinone herbicide to the weeds and a wheat plant that is a progeny of any one of lines Gunner IMI 205, a representative sample of seed of the line having been deposited with American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) under Patent Deposit Designation Number PTA-4213, Gunner IMI 208, a representative sample of seed of the line having been deposited with ATCC under Patent Deposit Designation Number PTA-4214, Madsen M1, a representative sample of seed of the line having been deposited with ATCC under Patent Deposit Designation Number PTA-4255, wherein the wheat plant has increased resistance to the imidazolinone herbicide as compared to a wild type variety of the wheat plant, wherein the plant comprises multiple Triticum Imi nucleic acids, and wherein the nucleic acids are from different genomes, wherein at least one of the multiple Triticum Imi nucleic acids is selected from the group consisting of: a) polynucleotides comprising the polynucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1; b) polynucleotides comprising the polynucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:3; c) polynucleotides comprising the polynucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:5; d) polynucleotides encoding any IMI polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2; e) polynucleotides encoding any IMI polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:4; and f) polynucleotides encoding any IMI polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:6.
