}Herbicide resistance is an evolutionary event resulting from intense herbicide selection over genetically diverse weed populations. In South America, orchard, cereal and legume cropping systems show a strong dependence on glyphosate to control weeds. The goal of this report is to review the current knowledge on cases of evolved glyphosate-resistant weeds in South American agriculture. The first reports of glyphosate resistance include populations of highly diverse taxa (Lolium multiflorum Lam…

Glyphosate-resistant weeds are a major risk for the continued success of glyphosate and transgenic glyphosate-resistant crops, however, lessons can be learnt and actions taken to achieve glyphosate sustainability.

The following actions are proposed to minimize weed resistance problem: rotation of GRS with conventional soybeans in order to rotate herbicide modes of action; avoidance of lower than recommended glyphosate rates; and keeping soil covered with a crop or legume at intercrop intervals.

Investigating the potential for glyphosate resistance evolution in UK weedy species
- Biology

Investigation of the glyphosate response of three UK weedy species, Alopecurus myosuroides (blackgrass), Anisantha sterilis (sterile brome), and Arabidopsis thaliana finds potential for selection of reduced glyphosate sensitivity, which may result in compromised field efficacy.

The transgenic origin of the glyphosate resistance in B. rapa biotypes might come from GM oilseed rape crops illegally cultivated in the country or as a seed contaminant, and it implies gene flow and introgression between feral populations of GM B. napus and wild B. Rapa.

Results indicate progressive enrichment of minor gene trait(s) contributing toward plant survival in the glyphosate-selected progenies, and the mechanistic basis of the moderate glyphosate resistance level selected by sublethal glyphosate doses remains unknown and warrants future research.

It is reported that glyphosate resistance in L. multiflorum is conferred by two different mechanisms, limited translocation (nontarget site- based) and mutation of the EPSP synthase gene (target site-based).

Glyphosate is an exceedingly effective herbicide and presents a considerable challenge to the development of new herbicides for sustainable cropping systems and situations in which cost-effective and environmentally considerate weed control is required.

The susceptible biotype is easily controlled by glyphosate and by the other postemergence herbicides tested, independent of the vegetative growth stage, and the resistant biotype presents low response to glyphosate, even if used in high rates, showing that some biotypes acquired resistance to this product.
