This invention further relates to genes encoding such enzymes, and to processes for utilizing these novel genes and enzymes. Further products of the invention include plants, plant tissues and seeds which exhibit resistance to such analogs and overproduce tryptophan resulting from expression of genes encoding analog resistant anthranilate synthase enzyme.Other References
