TL;DR: This work investigated recently discovered glyphosate-resistant Amaranthus palmeri populations from Georgia, in comparison with normally sensitive populations, and revealed that EPSPS genes were present on every chromosome and, therefore, gene amplification was likely not caused by unequal chromosome crossing over.

TL;DR: A previously unknown glyphosate resistance mechanism, amplification of the 5‐enolpyruvyl shikimate‐3‐phosphate synthase gene, was recently reported in Amaranthus palmeri, representing an avenue for acquisition of a novel adaptive trait.

TL;DR: Phytotoxic responses of plants exposed to vapors emanating from various surfaces treated with aminocyclopyrachlor-methyl ester were similar to responses to dicamba under enclosed incubation conditions, but were less in outdoor, open-air environments.

TL;DR: Significantly greater aminocyclopyrachlor-methyl ester was absorbed, compared with the free acid, which was reflected in the greater aboveground translocation for the methyl ester and, based on this conversion rate, was translocated as the free acids in Canada thistle.

TL;DR: The results suggest that aminopyralid's chemical structure may provide for greater biological activity at the target site than clopyralids.
