Diagnostic Tools for Herbicide Resistance in Weeds
Purdue University researchers have identified a set of differentially expressed genes that are specifically down regulated in glyphosate resistant plants when compared to glyphosate susceptible plants. By utilizing specially designed primers for these particular genes, the researchers can easily identify the resistant plants. This will allow for more targeted and precise herbicide treatment protocols and more sustainable weed management.
