Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores how herbicide resistance evolves in the weed Monochoria vaginalis, which has five copies of the ALS gene, a target for sulfonylurea herbicides.
  • - Researchers analyzed several populations across Japan for herbicide sensitivity and genetic variations in ALS, discovering over 60 resistant populations with mutations linked to MvALS1 and MvALS3.
  • - The findings suggest that higher expression levels of certain ALS genes (MvALS1 and MvALS3) drive the evolution of resistance, indicating that gene expression plays a crucial role in this process.

Hybrid cells of Nicotiana suaveolens x N. tabacum grow normally at 36 °C, but immediately express lethality due to probable autoimmune response when transferred from 36 to 28 °C. Our recent study showed that the temperature-sensitive lethality of these hybrid cells occurs through autolytic programmed cell death (PCD).

PCD with features of vacuolar cell death including autophagy-related features were detected in hybrid tobacco cells, and detailed time course of features of vacuolar cell death were established. A type of interspecific Nicotiana hybrid, Nicotiana suaveolens × N. tabacum exhibits temperature-sensitive lethality.
