Non-Target-Site Resistance to Herbicides: Recent Developments

TL;DR: The importance of examining the co-existence of TSR and NTSR for the same herbicide in the same weed species and influence of environmental conditions in the altering and selection of NTSR is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Response and effect traits of arable weeds in agro‐ecosystems: a review of current knowledge

TL;DR: This review provides a holistic synthesis of the current knowledge on weed response and effect functional traits and addresses and discusses major research avenues that may significantly improve the use of traits and the knowledge of functional diversity in weed science for the future.

Aldo-keto Reductase Metabolizes Glyphosate and Confers Glyphosate Resistance in Echinochloa colona.

TL;DR: This study provides direct experimental evidence of the evolution of a plant AKR that metabolizes glyphosate and thereby confers glyphosate resistance and predicts possible redox pathways involved in glyphosate metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Population Genomics of Herbicide Resistance: Adaptation via Evolutionary Rescue

TL;DR: This work compiled data on the number of resistance mutations across populations for 79 herbicide-resistant species to provide evidence for a ploidy-mating system interaction that may reflect trade-offs in polyploids between increased effective population size and greater masking of beneficial mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI

The factors driving evolved herbicide resistance at a national scale

TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale data set of occurrence of the weed Alopecurus myosuroides (black-grass) in the United Kingdom was used to evaluate the efficacy of different strategies for minimizing the evolution of resistance.

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

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

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.
