Evolution in action: plants resistant to herbicides

SB Powles, Q Yu - Annual review of plant biology, 2010 - annualreviews.org
Modern herbicides make major contributions to global food production by easily removing
weeds and substituting for destructive soil cultivation. However, persistent herbicide …

Fitness costs associated with evolved herbicide resistance alleles in plants

MM Vila‐Aiub, P Neve, SB Powles - New Phytologist, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Predictions based on evolutionary theory suggest that the adaptive value of evolved
herbicide resistance alleles may be compromised by the existence of fitness costs. There …

Gene amplification confers glyphosate resistance in Amaranthus palmeri

TA Gaines, W Zhang, D Wang… - Proceedings of the …, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
The herbicide glyphosate became widely used in the United States and other parts of the

Herbicide‐resistant weed management: focus on glyphosate

HJ Beckie - Pest management science, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
This review focuses on proactive and reactive management of glyphosate‐resistant (GR)
weeds. Glyphosate resistance in weeds has evolved under recurrent glyphosate usage, with …

EPSPS gene amplification in glyphosate‐resistant Italian ryegrass (Lolium perenne ssp. multiflorum) from Arkansas

RA Salas, FE Dayan, Z Pan, SB Watson… - Pest management …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
BACKGROUND: Resistance to glyphosate in weed species is a major challenge for the

What have the mechanisms of resistance to glyphosate taught us?

DL Shaner, RB Lindenmeyer… - Pest management …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The intensive use of glyphosate alone to manage weeds has selected populations that are
glyphosate resistant. The three mechanisms of glyphosate resistance that have been …

Gene amplification of 5-enol-pyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase in glyphosate-resistant Kochia scoparia

AT Wiersma, TA Gaines, C Preston, JP Hamilton… - Planta, 2015 - Springer
Main conclusion Field-evolved resistance to the herbicide glyphosate is due to amplification
of one of two EPSPS alleles, increasing transcription and protein with no splice variants or …

Distinct non-target site mechanisms endow resistance to glyphosate, ACCase and ALS-inhibiting herbicides in multiple herbicide-resistant Lolium rigidum

Q Yu, I Abdallah, H Han, M Owen, S Powles - Planta, 2009 - Springer
This study investigates mechanisms of multiple resistance to glyphosate, acetyl-coenzyme A
carboxylase (ACCase) and acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides in two Lolium …

A decade of glyphosate-resistant Lolium around the world: mechanisms, genes, fitness, and agronomic management

C Preston, AM Wakelin, FC Dolman, Y Bostamam… - Weed Science, 2009 - cambridge.org
Glyphosate resistance was first discovered in populations of rigid ryegrass in Australia in
1996. Since then, glyphosate resistance has been detected in additional populations of rigid …

Mutations and amplification of EPSPS gene confer resistance to glyphosate in goosegrass (Eleusine indica)

J Chen, H Huang, C Zhang, S Wei, Z Huang, J Chen… - Planta, 2015 - Springer
Main conclusion Field-evolved resistance of goosegrass to glyphosate is due to double or
single mutation in EPSPS, or amplification of EPSPS leads to increased transcription and …
