The paired deletion flanking the degron region of SoIAA20 likely provides resistance to 2,4-D by restricting the movement of 2,4-D from the treated tissue to the rest of the plant.

Previous studies have shown a wide range of 2,4-D translocation phenotypes in resistant populations of the agricultural weed Raphanus raphanistrum, but it was hypothesised that enhanced movement out of the apical meristem could contribute to resistance.

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…

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.

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.

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.
