5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3phosphate synthase
Gene amplification confers glyphosate resistance in Amaranthus Palmeri
The herbicide glyphosate became widely used in the United States and other parts of the world after the commercialization of glyphosate-resistant crops. These crops have constitutive overexpression of a glyphosate-insensitive form of the herbicide target site gene, 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS).
