Wicked evolution: Can we address the sociobiological dilemma of pesticide resistance?

TL;DR: Current evidence suggests that insect and weed evolution may outstrip the authors' ability to replace outmoded chemicals and other control mechanisms, and it is necessary to address the mix of ecological, genetic, economic, and sociopolitical factors that prevent implementation of sustainable pest management practices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polygenic adaptation: a unifying framework to understand positive selection

TL;DR: This Perspective describes how polygenic adaptation can be studied using a framework of ‘adaptive architecture’ that unifies principles from the traditionally disparate fields of quantitative genetics and molecular population genetics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Weeds for bees? A review

TL;DR: A conceptual framework allowing to define ecological engineering options based upon ecosystem services of weeds and pollinators is presented and it is shown that weed abundance can reduce crop yields, thus inducing conflict with farmers, but weed abundance enhances regulating services by ensuring the survival of honeybees in the absence of oil seed crops.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resistance to acetyl‐CoA carboxylase‐inhibiting herbicides

TL;DR: While the science of ACCase herbicide resistance has progressed significantly over the past 10 years, several avenues remain to be explored for a better understanding of resistance to this important mode of action.
Journal ArticleDOI

The future for weed control and technology.

TL;DR: This review is both a retrospective (what have the authors missed?) and prospective (where are they going?) examination of weed control and technology, particularly as it applies to herbicide-resistant weed management (RWM).

A mutation in the herbicide target site acetohydroxyacid synthase produces morphological and structural alterations and reduces fitness in Amaranthus powellii.

TL;DR: The Trp(574)Leu acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) mutation appears to have considerable pleiotropic effects on the early growth and development of the plants which, in competitive conditions, greatly reduce fitness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fitness costs associated with three mutant acetyl‐coenzyme A carboxylase alleles endowing herbicide resistance in black‐grass Alopecurus myosuroides

TL;DR: The work illustrates the variation in fitness cost depending on the resistance gene, the plant genetic background and the environment and underlines the necessity to identify the resistanceGene(s) present in a weed population before designing resistance-management strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of de novo transcriptome for waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus) using GS-FLX 454 pyrosequencing and its application for studies of herbicide target-site genes.

TL;DR: These results demonstrate the enormous value of 454 sequencing for gene discovery and polymorphism detection in a major weed species and its relatives.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resistance cost of a cytochrome P450 herbicide metabolism mechanism but not an ACCase target site mutation in a multiple resistant Lolium rigidum population.

TL;DR: The P450-based herbicide metabolism is shown to be associated with physiological resistance costs, which may be manipulated by agronomic management to reduce the evolution of herbicide resistance.
