Weeds resistant to PPO-inhibiting herbicides threaten the profitability of crop producers relying on this chemistry. In , mutations at G210 (∆G210) and R128 (R128G/M) of the gene were reported to confer PPO-inhibitor resistance. Here, samples from nine states in America, having survived a field application of a PPO-inhibitor, were genotyped to determine the prevalence of these mutations.

This work investigated the safening capacity of antioxidant enzymes in RR juvenile leaves following glyphosate treatment and examined cross tolerance to paraquat.
