Weeds pose a significant threat to crop production, resulting in substantial yield reduction.
Additionally, they possess robust weedy traits that enable them to survive in extreme …

Given the prevalence of the malignant weed Chinese Sprangletop (Leptochloa chinensis
(L.) Nees) in rice fields, the development of novel herbicides against this weed has aroused …

Weeds are attractive models for basic and applied research due to their impacts on
agricultural systems and capacity to swiftly adapt in response to anthropogenic selection …

BACKGROUND Recently, suspected cyhalofop‐butyl‐resistant populations of allohexaploid
weed Echinochloa crus‐galli var. crus‐galli were discovered in rice fields in Aichi Prefecture …

Despite the importance of hybridization in evolution, the evolutionary consequence of
homoploid hybridizations in plants remains poorly understood. Specially, homoploid …

Resistance of Chinese sprangletop (Leptochloa chinensis (L.) Nees) to the herbicide
cyhalofop-butyl has recently become a severe problem in rice cultivation. However, the …

Broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is one of the earliest domesticated crops, and is a
valuable resource to secure food diversity and combat drought stresses under the global …

Ancient whole-genome duplication (WGD) or polyploidization is prevalent in plants and has
played a crucial role in plant adaptation. However, the underlying genomic basis of …

Polyploidy confers a selective advantage under stress conditions; however, whether
polyploidization mediates enhanced herbicide adaptation remains largely unknown …

Over the decades, evolutionists and ecologists have shown intense interest in the role of
polyploidization in plant evolution. Without clear knowledge of the diploid ancestor (s) of …
