A dose-response experiment was conducted on barnyardgrass biotypes resistant (R) and susceptible (S) to three aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicides cyhalofop-butyl (CyB), fenoxaprop-ethyl (FeE), and quizalofop-ethyl (QuE) along with investigations into the potential resistance mechanism of these biotypes. The tested R barnyardgrass biotypes had strong resistance to CyB and FeE (resistant/susceptible ratio: 7.

One susceptible (Sus) and three putative FPB-resistant (R1, R2, and R3) barnyardgrass biotypes were selected based on resistant/susceptible (R/S) ratios obtained from dose-response tests and used to investigate the potential resistance mechanisms.
Results: Based on visual control results, the R/S ratios of barnyardgrass biotypes R1, R2, and R3 were 60-, 33-, and 16-fold greater than the Sus standard, respectively.
S. Watson (Palmer amaranth) is considered a problematic and troublesome weed species in many crops in the USA, partly because of its ability to evolve resistance to herbicides. In this study, we explored the mechanism of resistance in a trifluralin-resistant accession collected from Arkansas, USA.

Tolerance to benzobicyclon in cultivated rice, but not or -like cultivars, is conferred by a fully functional () gene. Herein, a diagnostic Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP) assay was developed to predict the genotype of weedy rice plants from 37 accessions and correlated to their response to benzobicyclon in the field.

While in other weeds glyphosate resistance arose from target site mutation or target gene amplification, the resistance mechanism in horseweed uses neither of these, being instead linked to reduced herbicide uptake and/or translocation. The molecular components underpinning horseweed glyphosate-resistance remain unknown.

Studies were carried out in controlled conditions to determine the role of absorption, translocation, metabolism, and gene mutation as mechanisms of glyphosate resistance in D. insularis.

Plant material was obtained from seeds collected in weed populations growing in olive groves and citrus orchards in southern Spain, with no previous history of glyphosate application. Dose-response curves displayed ED(50) values of 2.
