Article Synopsis
- Weedy rice, a close relative of cultivated rice, infests fields globally and reduces crop yields, prompting US farmers to adopt herbicide-resistant (HR) rice varieties to combat this issue.
- The introduction of HR and hybrid rice cultivars changed the dynamics of crop-weed hybridization, allowing for adaptive introgression and altering selective pressures.
- A study analyzing 178 weedy rice samples showed geographical shifts and genetic mechanisms in response to herbicide selection, revealing the adaptation of weedy rice through diverse genetic pathways.
