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

Adaptations in wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum) flowering time, Part 1: Individual-based modeling of a polygenic trait

This study investigated replicating six generations of glasshouse-based flowering date selection in wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum L.) using an adaptation of the population model SOMER (Spatial Orientated Modelling of Evolutionary Resistance).

Exploring chemical control of 2,4-D-resistant wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum) with auxin-related compounds

Dr Danica Goggin

The aim of this study was to determine if compounds involved in auxin biosynthesis, transport and signalling are able to synergise with 2,4-D and increase its ability to control 2,4-D-resistant R. raphanistrum populations.

Subtelomeric 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase copy number variation confers glyphosate resistance in Eleusine indica

Dr Chun Zhang

Resistance to the widely used herbicide, glyphosate, has evolved through target-site CNV in many weedy plant species, including the economically important grass, Eleusine indica (goosegrass); however, the origin and mechanism of these CNVs remain elusive in many weed species due to limited genetic and genomic resources.

Multiple metabolic enzymes can be involved in cross-resistance to 4‑Hydroxyphenylpyruvate-Dioxygenase-inhibiting herbicides in wild radish

Overexpression of the multiple herbicide-metabolizing genes could contribute to HPPD-inhibiting herbicide resistance in this wild radish population.
