Background: Horseweed is a weed commonly found in agronomic crops, waste areas and roadsides. Resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides in horseweed was first reported in 1993 in a population from Israel. Resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides in horseweed is now widespread, but, as of now, the resistance mechanism has not been reported.
Results: Two of three populations evaluated (P116 and P13) were found to be uniform for resistance (>98% of individuals survived 8.8 g AI ha(-1) of cloransulam), whereas a third population, P525, contained about 85% resistant individuals. Cross-resistance to cloransulam, chlorimuron, imazethapyr and bispyribac was observed in the P116 population. P525 and P13 were both sensitive to imazethapyr but resistant to chlorimuron, imazethapyr and bispyribac. Enzyme activity assays indicated that resistance in P13 was due to an altered target site. Southern blot analysis indicated that the ALS target site is encoded by a single copy gene. Overlapping ALS gene regions were amplified and sequenced from each population. Amino acid substitutions of Ser for Pro at position 197 (P197S) was detected from P13, Ala for Pro (P197A) was identified from P525 and substitution of Glu for Asp (D376E) at position 376 was found in P116. Molecular markers were developed to differentiate between wild-type and resistant codons at positions 197 and 376 of horseweed ALS.
Conclusion: Resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides in horseweed is conferred by target-site mutations that have also been identified in other weed species. Identification of the mutations within horseweed ALS gene sequence enables molecular assays for rapid detection and resistance diagnosis.

, a prevalent weed in Czech winter wheat fields, has developed resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides due to their frequent use. This study reports a biotype of resistant to pyroxsulam, with cross and multiple resistance to iodosulfuron, propoxycarbazone, pinoxaden, and chlortoluron. Dose-response experiments revealed high resistance of both R1 and R2 biotypes to pyroxsulam, with resistance factors (RF) of 6.

Background/objectives: Johnsongrass () is an erect tetraploid, perennial, C4 grass weed species categorized among the world's most noxious weeds due to its high competitive ability against crops and the increased number of field-evolved herbicide-resistant populations. The aim of the present study was to assess the growth rate and performance of resistant (R) johnsongrass genotypes hosting Trp574Leu target-site cross-resistance at gene, inhibiting various herbicides, compared to susceptible (S) conspecific weeds, in the absence and presence of corn or sunflower antagonism.
Methods: The aboveground biomass, tiller, and rhizome production ability of one S and one R johnsongrass population with a Trp574-Leu substitution conferring cross-resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides were compared under non-competitive conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Tribenuron-methyl (TBM) is a popular herbicide in Iran for managing broadleaf weeds in wheat due to its low toxicity, effectiveness, and lower cost, but farmers face issues with its performance and resistance.
- A study involving 240 weed populations from 153 wheat fields revealed that over half (51.7%) exhibited resistance to TBM, with specific species like Sinapis arvensis and Malva neglecta showing significant resistance rates.
- This research highlights the growing problem of herbicide resistance in Iranian wheat fields and emphasizes the need for future management strategies to prevent yield loss and environmental harm.

Resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides has dramatically increased worldwide due to the persisting evolution of target site mutations that reduce the affinity between the herbicide and the target. We evaluated the effect of the well-known ALS Asp-376-Glu target site mutation on different imidazolinone herbicides, including imazamox and imazethapyr. Greenhouse dose response experiments indicate that the Amaranthus retroflexus biotype carrying Asp-376-Glu was fully controlled by applying the field recommended dose of imazamox, whereas it displayed high level of resistance to imazethapyr.
