Article Synopsis
- Researchers observed that an extra circular chromosome (ECCAE) carries amplified genes related to glyphosate resistance in some plants, particularly in common waterhemp.
- The ECCAE is heterochromatic, has four major amplification sites, and is transmitted to a significant proportion of progeny, showing a unique chromosomal structure and behavior under stress.
- The study suggests that processes like breakage-fusion-bridge cycles in somatic cells result in diverse chromosomal variants, contributing to the evolution of herbicide resistance through new gene integrations.
Background: Evolution of multiple herbicide resistance in weeds is a serious threat to weed management in crop production. Kochia is an economically important broadleaf weed in the U.S.
