A cosegregation analysis of zinc (Zn) accumulation and Zn tolerance in the Zn hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens.
âą To analyse the relation between zinc (Zn) accumulation and Zn tolerance in the Zn hyperaccumulator, Thlaspi caerulescens, a cross was made between a plant from a nonmetallicolous population (LE: high accumulation, low tolerance) and one from a calamine population (LC: low accumulation, high tolerance). âą More or less homogeneous
Evolution of herbicide resistance in weeds: initial frequency of target site-based resistance to acetolactate synthase-inhibiting herbicides in Lolium rigidum
© 2002 Nature Publishing GroupThe frequency of individuals resistant to two acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides in three previously untreated populations of Lolium rigidum was determined. The frequency of individuals resistant to the sulfonylurea herbicide sulfometuron-methyl varied from 2.2 x 10â»â” to 1.2 x 10â»âŽ and the frequency of individuals resistant to the imidazolinone herbicide imazapyr varied from 1 x 10â»â” to 5.8 x 10â»â” depending on the population. Application of sulfometuron-methyl selected individuals with a herbicide-insensitive ALS, which was also cross-resistant to imazapyr. The high initial frequency of individuals resistant to ALS-inhibiting herbicides in L. rigidumpopulations never previously exposed to these herbicides helps explain the rapid evolution of herbicide resistance in this species once ALS-inhibiting herbicides were used
