Zusammenfassung:Abstract The invention provides nucleic acids encoding mutants of the acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) large subunit comprising at least two mutations, for example double and triple mutants, which are useful forproducing transgenic or non-transgenic plants with improved levels of tolerance to AHAS inhibiting herbicides. The invention also provides expression vectors, cells, plants comprising the polynucleotides encoding the AAS large subunit double and triple mutants, plants comprising two or more AfAS large subunit single mutant polypeptides, and methods for making and using the same.
