FIELD: genetic engineering, agriculture. SUBSTANCE: incorporation of nucleotide sequence of promoters from maize genes als 1 and als 2 to plant cells provides high level of expression of heterogeneous gene in plant. Mutant gene of acetohydroxyacid synthase can be used as heterogeneous gene. This allows to obtain plants exhibiting resistance to herbicides, in part, to imidazolinones. Invention can be used in selection of plants. EFFECT: enhanced resistance of plants to herbicides. 11 cl, 19 dwg, 1 ex
