Patterns of herbicide resistance in Raphanus raphanistrum revealed by comprehensive testing and statistical analysis

Wild radish in flower

Raphanus raphanistrum causes $40 million total revenue losses annually in Western Australia partly due to its historically-documented ability to evolve herbicide resistance to multiple modes…

Focus on the Crop Not the Weed: Canola Identification for Precision Weed Management Using Deep Learning

This paper uses deep learning to explore a novel approach via targeted segmentation mapping of crop plants rather than weeds, focusing on canola (Brassica napus) as the target crop.

Distribution, frequency and molecular basis of clethodim and quizalofop resistance in brome grass (Bromus diandrus)

The identification of target-site-based herbicide resistance in another polyploid weed species provides an opportunity for closer examination of how rapidly resistance evolves in these species under field conditions.

Early silique-shedding wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum L.) phenotypes persist in a long-term harvest weed seed control managed field in Western Australia

This study introduces a wild radish population collected from Yelbeni in the Western Australian grainbelt that evolved an early silique abscission (shedding) trait to persist despite long-term harvest weed seed control (HWSC) use.

Pyroxasulfone metabolism in resistant Lolium rigidum: is it all down to GST activity?

Resistance to the herbicide pyroxasulfone is slowly but steadily increasing in agricultural weeds. The evolved resistance of one Lolium rigidum population has been attributed to…

Adaptations in wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum) flowering time, Part 2: Harvest weed seed control shortens flowering by twelve days

This study investigated the effects of repeated HWSC on the evolution of R. raphanistrum flowering dates, using two methods: an adaptation of the SOMER model that included flowering genes (called SOMEF); and a mathematical calculation of the endpoints of flowering date evolution utilizing the relevant life-history equations
