The present disclosure provides borage plants having increased resistance to imidazolinone herbicides. More particularly, provided herein are methods for generating herbicide resistant borage and testing of selected progeny for homozygosity. Nucleic acids encoding AHAS 1 and 2 genes that encode herbicide resistance in borage are provided.
