Genetic control of a cytochrome P450 metabolismbased herbicide resistance mechanism in Lolium rigidum

Roberto Busi weighs seeds in lab

The dynamics of herbicide resistance evolution in plants are influenced by many factors, especially the biochemical and genetic basis of resistance. Herbicide resistance can be endowed by enhanced rates of herbicide metabolism because of the activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes, although in weedy plants the genetic control of cytochrome P450-endowed herbicide resistance is poorly understood.
