Abstract:
The present invention relates to the production of a non-transgenic plant resistant or tolerant to a herbicide of the phosphonomethylglycine family, e.g., glyphosate. The present invention also relates to the use of a recombinagenic oligonucleobase to make a desired mutation in the chromosomal or episomal sequences of a plant in the gene encoding for 5-enol pyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). The mutated protein, which substantially maintains the catalytic activity of the wild-type protein, allows for increased resistance or tolerance of the plant to a herbicide of the phosphonomethylglycine family, and allows for the substantially normal growth or development of the plant, its organs, tissues or cells as compared to the wild-type plant irrespective of the presence or absence of the herbicide. Additionally the present invention relates to mutant  E. coli  cells that contain mutated EPSPS genes.

Claim (Index 2):
A method for producing a non-transgenic, herbicide resistant or tolerant plant comprising:\n introducing into plant cells a recombinagenic oligonucleobase with a targeted mutation in the EPSPS gene to produce plant cells with a mutant EPSPS gene that expresses a EPSPS protein that is mutated at one or more amino acid positions, said positions selected from the group consisting of Leu 160 , Thr 179 , Pro 183 , Val 114 , Asp 164 , Asn 193 , and X 194  in an  Arabidopsis  EPSPS protein (AF360224) or at an analogous amino acid residue in an EPSPS paralog wherein X is not Leu; selecting a plant cell exhibiting improved tolerance to glyphosate as compared to a corresponding wild-type plant cell; and regenerating a non-transgenic herbicide resistant or tolerant plant having a mutated EPSPS gene from said selected plant cell.
