Sugarcane is the source of 80% of the sugar and 26% of the bioethanol produced globally.
However, its complex, highly polyploid genome (2 n= 100–120) impedes crop improvement …

As cases of resistance to herbicides escalate worldwide, there is increasing demand from
growers to test for weed resistance and learn how to manage it. Scientists have developed …

Herbicide resistance is rapidly emerging in Cyperus difformis in rice fields across China. The
response of a C. difformis population GX-35 was tested against five acetolactate synthase …

Acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors are widely used herbicides in rice and their recurrent
use has resulted in several resistant weed populations. Recent reports from Italian rice …

Red rice is the main weed in rice paddy fields. Imidazolinone herbicides in resistant rice
cultivars currently provide a unique opportunity to control red rice in large-scale rice fields …

Overuse of acetolactate synthase (ALS)–inhibiting herbicides in rice has led to the evolution
of halosulfuron-resistant rice flatsedge in Arkansas and Mississippi. Resistant accessions …

Applications of 64 times higher rates of azimsulfuron and halosulfuron-methyl failed to
reduce by 50% growth of 10 putative resistant (R) Cyperus difformis (smallflower umbrella …

Chloroplasts are the organelles of green plants in which light energy is transduced into
chemical energy, forming ATP and reduced carbon compounds upon which all life depends …

This book provides a comprehensive and in-depth discussion on the development of
herbicide resistance during the past 50 years, emphasizing the biochemical pathways of …

BACKGROUND: Hordeum populations are becoming increasingly difficult to control in
cropping fields. Two herbicide‐resistant H. leporinum populations were identified during a …
