Biochemical and Molecular Knowledge about Developing Herbicide-Resistant Weeds
TL;DR: There are several strategies for the production of HR crops by genetic engineering and the methods used in this process will be discussed in this chapter.

TL;DR: In this article, a high-throughput genotyping-by-sequencing in 213 field populations randomly sampled based on ragweed presence was sought and its prevalence compared with that of TSR in 43 additional field populations where ALS inhibitor failure was reported, using herbicide sensitivity bioassay coupled with ALS gene Sanger sequencing.

OUP accepted manuscript
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors developed cropCSM, a computational platform to identify new, potent, nontoxic and environmentally safe herbicides using physicochemical properties and substructures.

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.

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.
