A suspected glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) (OR) population was collected from a filbert (Corylus avellana L.) orchard near Portland, OR. Based on the dose-response experiments conducted in the greenhouse, it was found that the suspected glyphosate-resistant population was approximately fivefold more resistant to glyphosate than the susceptible (S) population....
Three DCMU resistant mutants of the green alga Scenedesmus
obliquus D₃ are characterized. The mutants exhibit a ten fold
greater resistance to DCMU than the wild type strain; this is
comparable to the level of DCMU resistance detected in other
DCMU resistant algae. In whole cell reactions, as well as...
Weed resistance is usually diagnosed after a weed control practice has lost
efficacy and weed populations begin to increase rapidly. Prediction and validation in
the field at a very early stage of resistance development is a promising method for
preventing an uncontrollable problem. Pattern-thinking helped individuals connect their
experience of...
Growth of individual goosegrass (Eleusine indica (L) Gaertn.) plants of
three dinitroaniline-herbicide resistant (R) and three susceptible (S) biotypes from
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Mississippi was analyzed in greenhouse
experiments. Leaf area and biomass measurements, including root, shoot,
above-ground, and total dry weights were similar among the biotypes studied....
Resistance to acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS)-inhibiting herbicides has been reported in over 90 weedy species, including wild sunflower biotypes, since the herbicides were developed in 1982. The AHAS gene family in sunflower, consisting of three paralogs AHAS1 , AHAS2, and AHAS3, has been targeted for inducing herbicide resistance. A polymorphism identified...
Mayweed chamomile (Anthemis cotula L.) is an annual weed in the Asteraceae family that is commonly found in fields of the Pacific Northwest. Acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides are frequently used to control a broad spectrum of weed species including mayweed chamomile. Seeds of four biotypes of mayweed chamomile (KJ, KL1,...
Italian ryegrass populations have been identified with evolved resistance to glyphosate in orchards with a history of glyphosate use. Two of these populations were selected to investigate the inheritance of glyphosate resistance. The mechanisms involved in the herbicide resistance were an altered target site for the population SF and reduced...
Scientists and land managers realize that integrated weed management (IWM) strategies are needed to attain successful and lasting improvements of weed infested landscapes. At this time no broadly reliable and environmentally safe IWM strategy has been developed to control exotic annual grasses that dominate many ecosystems of the northern Great...
Italian ryegrass (Lolium perenne spp. multiflorum) is a common weed management problem in turfgrasses, cereals and non-crop areas in the United States. In Oregon, the number of populations with multiple-resistance continues to increase. To manage these resistant populations, the resistance patterns must be determined. In this study, five Italian ryegrass...
