Fitness costs of herbicide resistance across natural populations of the common morning glory, Ipomoea purpurea

TL;DR: It is found that costs of adaptation may be present at stages other than simply the production of progeny in this agricultural weed, and the cumulative effect of costs at multiple life cycle stages can result in severe consequences to fitness when adapting to novel environments.

Potential Role of Endophytes in Weeds and Herbicide Tolerance in Plants

TL;DR: In this article, the crucial endophytes or vicinity free-living microbes' role to induce herbicide tolerance in plants was stated, and several measures have been implemented for the management of the weed, among which the herbicide practices have proved to be a promising weapon.

Establishment and Comparative Analysis of Enzyme-Linked Immunoassay and Time-Resolved Fluoroimmunoassay for the Determination of Trace Quinclorac in Environment

TL;DR: The results of the two methods were consistent with that of the referenced method of UPLC-MS/MS (R2 > 0.98) and could meet the requirements of the quantitative determination of quinclorac residue as mentioned in this paper .

Pro197Thr Substitution in Ahas Gene Causing Resistance to Pyroxsulam Herbicide in Rigid Ryegrass (Lolium Rigidum Gaud.)

TL;DR: This is the first report to reveal that the Pro197Thr in AHAS enzyme confers a high level of resistance (ED50 3.569) to pyroxsulam herbicide (Triazolopyrimidine).

A “Stressed” Alfalfa-Based Cropping System Leads to the Selection of Quizalofop-Resistant Italian Ryegrass (Lolium perenne ssp. multiflorum)

TL;DR: Italian ryegrass populations investigated in this study were harvested in an alfalfa-based cropping system and five of seven populations tested were confirmed resistant to quizalofop ethyl ester, leading to the selection of herbicide-resistant biotypes.

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.

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.
