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 …

This chapter describes in detail the genes and proteins of Escherichia coli involved in the
biosynthesis and transport of the three aromatic amino acids tyrosine, phenylalanine, and …

Glyphosate resistance evolution in weeds is a growing problem in world agriculture. Here,
we have investigated the mechanism (s) of glyphosate resistance in a Lolium rigidum …

UDP-N-acetylglucosamine enolpyruvyl transferase (MurA) and 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-
phosphate synthase (AroA) constitute the small enzyme family of enolpyruvyl transferases …

The shikimate pathway consists of seven enzymatic steps involved in the conversion of
erythrose-4-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate to chorismate and also responsible to the …

The high frequency of contamination by herbicides suggests the need for more active and
selective herbicides. Glyphosate is the active component of one of the top-selling herbicides …

The significance of glyphosate and the appearance of glyphosate-resistant weeds have
raised concerns about glyphosate sustainability. Resistance-prevention strategies, however …

Glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass was detected in Arkansas (United States) in 2007. In
2014, 45 populations were confirmed resistant in eight counties across the state. The level of …

Purified recombinant MurA (enolpyruvyl-UDP-GlcNAc synthase) overexpressed in
Escherichia coli had significant amounts of UDP-MurNAc (UDP-N-acetylmuramic acid) …

Applying the genomic library construction process and colony screening, a novel aro A gene
encoding 5-enopyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase from Ochrobactrum anthropi was …
