glyphosate leaf uptake

Glyphosate resistance in perennial Sorghum halapense (Johnsongrass), endowed by reduced glyphosate translocation and leaf uptake

Dr Martin Vila-Aiub

In a large cropping area of northern Argentina, Sorghum halepense (Johnsongrass) has evolved towards glyphosate resistance. This study aimed to determine the molecular and biochemical basis conferring glyphosate resistance in this species. Experiments were conducted to assess target EPSPS gene sequences and 14C-glyphosate leaf absorption and translocation to meristematic tissues.
