TLDR
High herbicide levels can be localized on or near seed of acetolactate synthase (ALS) resistant maize and seed dressing coupled with pulling Striga escapes reduces infestation and can be used to deplete the Striga seed bank until genetic crop resistance becomes available.About:

Imidazolinone-tolerant Crops: History, Current Status and Future
TL;DR: A single target-site mutation in the AHAS gene may confer tolerance to AHAS-inhibiting herbicides, so that it is technically possible to develop the imidazolinone-tolerance trait in many crops.

Rice plants having increased tolerance to imidazolinone herbicides
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to control weeds in the vicinity of rice plants using IMINTA 1, 4 or 5 lines comprising an alanine to threonine substitution as compared to the wild-type AHAS.

Major heretofore intractable biotic constraints to African food security that may be amenable to novel biotechnological solutions
Jonathan Gressel,A Hanafi,Graham P. Head,W Marasas,A B Obilana,James O. Ochanda,T Souissi,G Tzotzos +7 more
TL;DR: The input costs of pesticides to control biotic constraints are often prohibitive to the subsistence farmers of Africa and seed based solutions to biotic stresses are more appropriate, and biotechnological alleviations of abiotic stress could partially allay some predicaments.
Book
Molecular Biology of Weed Control
TL;DR: The vast commercial effort to utilize chemical and molecular tools to solve weed control problems has had a major impact on the basic biological sciences as well as benefits to agriculture, and the first generation of transgenic products has been successful, while somewhat crude more sophisticated products are envisaged and expected.
Molecular biology of weed control.
TL;DR: Molecular tools should be considered for weed control without the use of, or with less chemicals, whether by enhancing crop competitiveness with weeds for light, nutrients and water, or via allelochemicals.

A Naturally Occurring Point Mutation Confers Broad Range Tolerance to Herbicides That Target Acetolactate Synthase
TL;DR: The use of laboratory models to predict mutations that may develop in natural populations are validated, indicating that mutations conferring herbicide tolerance, obtained in an artificial environment, also occur in nature, where the selection pressure is much lower.
