Herbicides are the foundation of weed control in commercial crop-production systems.
However, herbicide-resistant (HR) weed populations are evolving rapidly as a natural …

In input-intensive cropping systems around the world, farmers rarely proactively manage
weeds to prevent or delay the selection for herbicide resistance. Farmers usually increase …

In Alien Species and Evolution, biologist George W. Cox reviews and synthesizes emerging
information on the evolutionary changes that occur in plants, animals, and microbial …

Transgenes engineered into annual crops could be unintentionally introduced into the
genomes of their free-living wild relatives. The fear is that these transgenes might persist in …

With the advent of genetic engineering, designer crops might interbreed with natural
populations. Could such romances lead to the evolution of superweeds, as some have …

Weed management is a critically important activity on both agricultural and non‐agricultural
lands, but it is faced with a daunting set of challenges: environmental damage caused by …
