Article Synopsis
- * Traditional herbicides targeting specific plant processes have been used since the 1970s, but repeated application has led to herbicide-resistant strains of P. minor.
- * Innovative approaches like computer-aided drug discovery (CADD) are being developed to find new herbicides, making the discovery process faster and more effective while supporting sustainable farming practices.
Article Synopsis
- Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a health problem where too much sugar is in the blood, which can cause serious issues.
- Researchers studied a plant from the Indian Himalayas to see if it could help control diabetes by improving how the body uses insulin.

Herbicides have been used to control the weed, which leads to the development of frequent resistance in and mutant biotypes were also reported (Trp2027Cys and Ile2041Asn). Development of resistance enforced agro researchers to analyses the action of herbicide on .
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Herbicide use has been a great add-on in agriculture, aiding weed management in crop fields, thereby escalating crop production. However, the development of resistance in weeds against the existing herbicides is a setback. The development of herbicide resistance has compelled the agrochemical industries to replace existing herbicides with novel agrochemicals.
