This study evaluates the potential for target-site resistance to the herbicide cinmethylin by analyzing amino acid substitutions in FAT A and FAT B, finding limited practical risk of resistance evolution.

This study analyzes glutamine synthetase mutations in GFA-resistant plants, finding that G255D reduces enzyme activity but confers GFA insensitivity, while other mutations impair catalytic function.

This paper introduces fendioxypyracil, a new PPO-inhibiting herbicide, showing high efficacy against various weeds and confirming its mode of action through physiological and enzyme assays.

This study identifies PPO1 mutations in Bassia scoparia that confer resistance to PPO-inhibiting herbicides, with fomesafen remaining effective against resistant biotypes.

The paper investigates whether double PPO mutations can co-occur in the same allele and assesses their functionality in Amaranthus species.
