1. A donor vector comprising nucleic acid sequences having homology to chromosomal 5-enolpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) DNA sequences, said nucleic acid sequences comprising a first, second and a third DNA sequences;
- wherein the first and second sequences comprise a sequence as shown in any one of SEQ ID NOs;
141, 142, and 144-153; and
the third sequence is interposed between the first and second sequences and comprises an exogenous sequence.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to engineered zinc finger proteins that target 5-enolpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) genes in plants and methods of using such zinc finger proteins in modulating gene expression, gene inactivation, and targeted gene modification. In particular, the disclosure pertains to zinc finger nucleases for targeted cleavage and alteration of EPSPS genes.
