The Development of Herbicide Resistance Crop Plants Using CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Gene Editing.
TL;DR: Recently developed clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat and CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR/Cas)-mediated genome editing techniques enable efficiently targeted modification and hold great potential in creating desired plants with herbicide resistance as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing minimum daily temperatures are associated with enhanced pesticide use in cultivated soybean along a latitudinal gradient in the mid-western United States.
TL;DR: Quantifying average pesticide applications since 1999 for commercial soybean grown over a 2100 km North-South latitudinal transect suggests that increases in pesticide application rates may be a means to maintain soybean production in response to rising minimum daily temperatures and potential increases in pest pressures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Herbicide Metabolism and Metabolic Resistance Genes Identified in Tribenuron-Methyl Resistant Myosoton aquaticum L.
TL;DR: The research confirmed that enhanced herbicide metabolism drives tribenuron-methyl resistance in M. aquaticum and found that GST activity was higher among resistant than susceptible individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protocols for Robust Herbicide Resistance Testing in Different Weed Species.
TL;DR: The presented protocols, based on whole-plant bioassays performed in a greenhouse, can be readily adapted to a wide range of weed species and herbicides through appropriate variants and can be applied at only one herbicide dose, so reducing the costs.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

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.
