Background: Conyza spp. were the first broadleaf weeds reported to have evolved glyphosate resistance. Several mechanisms have been proposed for glyphosate resistance. In an effort to elucidate the mechanism of this resistance in Conyza bonariensis, possible target-site and non-target-site mechanisms were investigated in glyphosate-resistant (GR) C. bonariensis biotypes.
Results: Using differential glyphosate applications and analyses of shikimate accumulation, we followed the herbicide effect in different plant organs and monitored the herbicide's apparent mobility. We found high shikimate levels in the roots and young leaves of glyphosate-sensitive (GS) plants, regardless of the site of application, whereas in GR plants, shikimate accumulated mainly in treated young leaves. C-glyphosate studies, however, revealed the expected source-to-sink translocation pattern in both GS and GR plants. Sequencing of the appropriate EPSPS DNA fragments of GR and GS plants revealed no alteration at the Pro106 position.
Conclusion: These data support the hypothesis that the glyphosate resistance of our C. bonariensis GR biotypes is associated with altered subcellular distribution of glyphosate, which keeps the herbicide sequestered away from the EPSPS target site in the chloroplast. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.

Limited research investigating the impact of pesticides on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and viral community in the gut of wild animals. In this study, we employed metagenomic to investigate the effects of glyphosate and spinetoram on the gut viral communities, ARGs, and their interactions in a key wild pollinator, bumblebees. The results showed that both 2.

Background: Resistance to multiple herbicides is common in Lolium rigidum. Here, resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS)- and susceptibility to acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides was confirmed in a glyphosate-resistant L. rigidum population (NLR70) from Australia and the mechanisms of pyroxsulam resistance were examined.

Genetically modified (GM) herbicide-tolerant soybean 'Zhonghuang 6106', which introduces a glyphosate-resistant gene, ensures soybean yield while allowing farmers to reduce the use of other herbicides, thereby reducing weed management costs. To protect consumer rights and facilitate government supervision, we have established a simple and rapid on-site nucleic acid detection method for GM soybean 'Zhonghuang 6106'. This method leverages the isothermal amplification characteristics of RPA technology and the high specificity of CRISPR-Cas12a to achieve high sensitivity and accuracy in detecting GM soybean components.

Long-term use of the global non-selective herbicide glyphosate for weed control has caused resistance in weeds. Overproducing of the target of glyphosate 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) is one of the resistance mechanisms in weeds. However, few studies have measured the effects on tolerance levels and metabolite content in model plant species overexpressing from weeds.

As glyphosate's application becomes increasingly widespread across the globe, its potential adverse effects on humans have garnered growing concerns. Little evidence has revealed the associations between glyphosate and glucose homeostasis. A total of 2094 individuals were recruited from the NHANES 2013-2018.
