Faced with the biodiversity extinction crisis and climate change, alternative approaches to
food production are urgently needed. Decades of chemical-based weed control have …

Agricultural weeds frequently hybridize with each other or with related crop species. Some
hybrid weeds exhibit heterosis (hybrid vigor), which may be stabilized through mechanisms …

BACKGROUND Weeds grow aggressively in agricultural fields, leading to reduced crop
yields and an inability to meet the growing demand for food. Herbicides are currently the …

High reproductive compatibility between crops and their wild relatives can provide benefits
for crop breeding but also poses risks for agricultural weed evolution. Weedy rice is a feral …

Premise Cultivated species and their wild relatives often hybridize in the wild, and the
hybrids can survive and reproduce in some environments. However, it is unclear whether …

Rapeseed, weeds, and pathogens interact with each other. However, these interactions are
not well understood. The aim of our work was to describe the relationships between weed …

Weedy rice, a pervasive and troublesome weed found across the globe, has often evolved
through fertilization of rice cultivars with little importance of crop‐weed gene flow. In …

ABSTRACT A better understanding of the genetic and ecological factors underlying
successful invasions is critical to mitigate the negative impacts of invasive species. Here, we …

Understanding the emergence patterns of agricultural weeds is paramount for effective
management practices. This study investigates the emergence dynamics of feral radish …

Plant breeders face multiple global challenges that affect food security, productivity,
accessibility, and nutritional quality. One major challenge for plant breeders is developing …
