Present invention relates to the use of the ALS inhibitor herbicides for controlling unwanted vegetation in ALS inhibitor herbicide tolerant Beta vulgaris plants, more especially, present invention relates to the use of ALS inhibitor herbicides for control of unwanted vegetation in Beta vulgaris, preferably in sugar beet growing areas in which the Beta vulgaris, preferably sugar beet comprise a mutation in codon 1705-1707 of an endogenous ALS gene encoding an ALS protein containing an amino acid that is different from tryptophan at position 569, preferably the tryptophan is substituted by leucine.

A sorghum seed comprising in its genome at least one polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having an alanine to tyrosine substitution at position 93 of the sorghum AHAS protein large subunit. The plant has increased resistance to one or more herbicides, for example from the imidazolinone group, as compared to wild-type sorghum plants. The sorghum plant may comprise in its genome, one, two, three or more copies of a polynucleotide encoding a mutated large subunit of sorghum AHAS or a sorghum AHAS polypeptide of the invention. In this context, the sorghum plant may be tolerant to any herbicide capable of inhibiting AHAS enzyme activity. For example, the sorghum plant may be tolerant to herbicides of the imidazolinones type, such as imazethapyr, imazapir, and imazapic or to herbicides of the sulfonylurea group.

A method for producing herbicide-resistant sugar beet plant includes obtaining protoplasts from stomatal guard cells isolated from a sugar beet plant. A composition having an ALS herbicide is applied to the cells at a concentration which is lethal to the cells. Sugar beet plants are regenerated from the surviving cells.

The present invention provides for compositions and methods for producing sorghum crop plants that are resistant to herbicides. In particular, the present invention provides for sorghum plants, plant tissues and plant seeds that contain altered acetolactate synthase (ALS) genes and proteins that are resistant to inhibition by herbicides that normally inhibit the activity of the ALS protein.

The present invention relates to a method of improving soybean transformation efficiency, which comprises: transforming a plant cell using a recombinant vector containing a gene of interest and a gene encoding a sulfonylurea herbicide hydrolase; screening and culturing the transformed plant cell by external application of an ALS inhibitor, using the gene encoding the sulfonylurea herbicide hydrolase as a selective marker; selecting a plant cell that has not been killed and/or not been inhibited. The present invention firstly proposes that a selective agent is added to a proliferation medium and a differentiation medium in a manner of external application during plant transformation process, and optimizes the effective screening concentration range of the selective agent, so the transformation efficiency is remarkably increased, and the proportion of positive plants obtained in the progeny thereof is significantly increased; at the same time, the transgenic plants obtained by the transformation using the sulfonylurea herbicide hydrolase gene as a selective marker in the present invention have high commercial value, good resistance and genetic stability.

A sorghum seed comprising in its genome at least one polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having an alanine to threonine substitution at position 93 of the sorghum AHAS protein large subunit. The plant has increased resistance to one or more herbicides, for example from the imidazolinone group, as compared to wild-type sorghum plants. The sorghum plant may comprise in its genome, one, two, three or more copies of a polynucleotide encoding a mutated large subunit of sorghum AHAS or a sorghum AHAS polypeptide of the invention. In this context, the sorghum plant may be tolerant to any herbicide capable of inhibiting AHAS enzyme activity. For example, the sorghum plant may be tolerant to herbicides of the imidazolinones type, such as imazethapyr, imazapir, and imazapic or to herbicides of the sulfonylurea group.
