  1. Resistance to herbicide chlorsulfuron in plants is due to a change in
    1. Glutamine synthetase ​​
    2. ​Threonine deaminase ​​
    3. Acetolactate synthase
    4. ​DNA polymerase ​
Correct Option: C

Chlorsulfuron is a selective systemic herbicide, absorbed by the leaves and roots and moves rapidly through the plant. Chlorsulfuron blocks acetolactate synthase and thus prevents the plant from producing a branched chain amino acids. This inhibits cell division in the root tips and shoots of sensitive plants. ​
