Survey of glyphosate-, atrazine- and lactofen-resistance mechanisms in Ohio waterhemp ( Amaranthus tuberculatus ) populations
(Weed Science Society of America, 2019-03)
Herbicide resistance within key driver weeds, such as common waterhemp [Amaranthus tuberculatus (Moq.) Sauer var. rudis (Sauer) Costea and Tardif ], constrains available management options for crop production. Routine ...
Omics approaches for the engineering of pathogen resistant plants
(Horizon Scientific Press, 2015-12)
The attack of different pathogens, such as bacteria, fungi and viruses has a negative impact on crop production. In counter such attacks, plants have developed different strategies involving the modification of gene ...
AHAS herbicide resistance endowing mutations: Effect on AHAS functionality and plant growth
(Oxford University Press, 2010-09)
Twenty-two amino acid substitutions at seven conserved amino acid residues in the acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) gene have been identified to date that confer target-site resistance to AHAS-inhibiting herbicides in ...
The role of plant size in the selection of glyphosate resistance in Sorghum halepense
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-11)
BACKGROUND: The effect of plant size (seedlings versus young plants versus adult plants) on the phenotypic level of glyphosate resistance and selection intensity (SI) in Sorghum halepense with and without a reduced glyphosate ...
Inheritance of glyphosate resistance in Lolium perenne and hybrids with Lolium multiflorum
(2015-05)
Glyphosate-resistant Lolium species have been selected in weed communities where glyphosate is the herbicide used almost exclusively for weed control. The rate of evolution of herbicide resistance is highly influenced by ...
A unified approach to the estimation and interpretation of resistance costs in plants
(Nature Publishing Group, 2011-11)
Plants exhibit a number of adaptive defence traits that endow resistance to past and current abiotic and biotic stresses. It is generally accepted that these adaptations will incur a cost when plants are not challenged by ...
Foliar resistance to simulated extreme temperature events in contrasting plant functional and chorological types
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2002-11)
We analysed leaf resistance of 41 Angiosperms belonging to a wide range of plant functional (PFTs) and chorological types (PCTs) to simulated frost and high-temperature extreme events (EE). Leaf resistance was estimated ...
Role of proteases in the response of plants to drought
(Elsevier, 2021-09-30)
Plants are sessile organisms that, to survive they develop response mechanisms under water deficit conditions. Plant proteases play an essential role in a diversity of biological processes, among them tolerance to drought ...
Contrasting plant ecological benefits endowed by naturally occurring EPSPS resistance mutations under glyphosate selection
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-03)
Concurrent natural evolution of glyphosate resistance single- and double-point EPSPS mutations in weed species provides an opportunity for the estimation of resistance fitness benefits and prediction of equilibrium resistance ...
Fitness of herbicide-resistant weeds: Current knowledge and implications for management
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-11)
Herbicide resistance is the ultimate evidence of the extraordinary capacity of weeds to evolve under stressful conditions. Despite the extraordinary plant fitness advantage endowed by herbicide resistance mutations in ...
