DNA Analysis of Herbarium Specimens of the Grass Weed Alopecurus myosuroides Reveals Herbicide Resistance Pre-Dated Herbicides
TL;DR: It is concluded that point mutations endowing resistance to herbicides without having associated deleterious pleiotropic effects can be present in weed populations as part of their standing genetic variation, in frequencies higher than the mutation frequency, thereby facilitating their subsequent selection by herbicide applications.

Sugarcane bagasse as support for immobilization of Bacillus pumilus HZ-2 and its use in bioremediation of mesotrione-contaminated soils.
TL;DR: Results showed that sugarcane bagasse might be a good candidate as bacteria-immobilizing support to enhance mesotrione degradation by Bacillus p.
Journal ArticleDOI
An ecological perspective on managing weeds during the great selection for herbicide resistance
TL;DR: Barry Commoner's laws of ecology are used as a conceptual frame for a review of some of the fundamental concepts of ecological weed management.

Weed Dynamics and Management in Wheat
TL;DR: Both preventive measures and cultural practices have proved their significance for improving weed control in wheat and site-specific herbicide application may help to make weed control economical and reduce the herbicide input.

Comparative genomics in the Asteraceae reveals little evidence for parallel evolutionary change in invasive taxa.
Kathryn A. Hodgins,Dan G. Bock,Min A. Hahn,Sylvia M. Heredia,Kathryn G. Turner,Loren H. Rieseberg +5 more
TL;DR: The findings provide little evidence for common genomic responses in invasive taxa of the Asteraceae and hence suggest that multiple evolutionary pathways may lead to adaptation during introduction and spread in these species.

Crop losses to pests
TL;DR: Despite a clear increase in pesticide use, crop losses have not significantly decreased during the last 40 years, however, pesticide use has enabled farmers to modify production systems and to increase crop productivity without sustaining the higher losses likely to occur from an increased susceptibility to the damaging effect of pests.

Environmental and Economic Costs of Nonindigenous Species in the United States
TL;DR: Aproximately 50,000 nonindigenous (non-native) species are estimated to have been introduced to the United States, many of which are beneficial but have caused major economic losses in agriculture, forestry, and several other segments of the US economy, in addition to harming the environment.

Evolution in Action: Plants Resistant to Herbicides
Stephen B. Powles,Qin Yu +1 more
TL;DR: Understanding resistance and building sustainable solutions to herbicide resistance evolution are necessary and worthy challenges to herbicides sustainability in world agriculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
The genetics of human adaptation: hard sweeps, soft sweeps, and polygenic adaptation.
TL;DR: This work argues for alternatives to the hard sweep model: in particular, polygenic adaptation could allow rapid adaptation while not producing classical signatures of selective sweeps, and discusses some of the likely opportunities for progress in the field.

Gene amplification confers glyphosate resistance in Amaranthus palmeri
Todd A. Gaines,Wenli Zhang,Dafu Wang,Bekir Bukun,Stephen T. Chisholm,Dale L. Shaner,Scott J. Nissen,William L. Patzoldt,Patrick J. Tranel,A. Stanley Culpepper,Timothy L. Grey,Theodore M. Webster,William K. Vencill,R. Douglas Sammons,Jiming Jiang,Christopher Preston,Jan E. Leach,Philip Westra +17 more
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.
