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

Imidazolinone herbicides, which include imazapyr, imazapic, imazethapyr, imazamox,
imazamethabenz and imazaquin, control weeds by inhibiting the enzyme acetohydroxyacid …

Herbicides that target the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS) are among the most widely
used in the world. Unfortunately, these herbicides are also notorious for their ability to select …

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 …

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 …

Molecular Biology of Weed Control assesses the impact of the new tools of molecular
biology on the science of weed control as well as the ways in which the science of weed …

Weeds have known to affect human activities including agriculture since ages. Looking at
the global scenario the major contributors of crop loss are weeds, followed by animals and …

This chapter deals with the specific changes to plant biochemistry that endow resistance to
herbicides. Any biochemical change that allows a plant to survive herbicide application can …

The biochemical and molecular basis of resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS)–inhibiting
herbicides was investigated in eight resistant (R) and three susceptible (S) wild radish …

Monochoria korsakowii is an increasingly significant threat to rice production across China,
particularly in Liaoning province. Few studies have reported herbicide resistance in M …
