global food security. Resistance has now been reported to all major herbicide modes of …

Modern herbicides make major contributions to global food production by easily removing
weeds and substituting for destructive soil cultivation. However, persistent herbicide …

Transgene-free plant genome editing in the T0 generation is highly desirable but
challenging,. Here we achieved such a goal using a co-editing strategy via Agrobacterium …

Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) inhibitor herbicides currently comprise the largest site‐
of‐action group (with 54 active ingredients across five chemical groups) and have been …

Predictions based on evolutionary theory suggest that the adaptive value of evolved
herbicide resistance alleles may be compromised by the existence of fitness costs. There …

North America has experienced a massive increase in cropland use since 1800,
accompanied more recently by the intensification of agricultural practices. Through genome …

Twenty-two amino acid substitutions at seven conserved amino acid residues in the
acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) gene have been identified to date that confer target-site …

The acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting cyclohexanedione herbicide
clethodim is used to control grass weeds infesting dicot crops. In Australia clethodim is …

The main environmental concerns about genetically modified (GM) crops are the potential
weediness or invasiveness in the crop itself or in its wild or weedy relatives as a result of …

The potential for human-driven evolution in economically and environmentally important
organisms in medicine, agriculture and conservation management is now widely …
