}BACKGROUND
A simulation model is used to explore the influence of biological, ecological, genetic and operational (management) factors on the probability and rate of glyphosate resistance in model weed species.
RESULTS
Glyphosate use for weed control prior to crop emergence is associated with low risks of resistance. These low risks can be further reduced by applying glyphosate in sequence with other broad-spectrum herbicides prior to crop seeding. Post-emergence glyphosate use, associated…

Modeling Glyphosate Resistance Management Strategies for Palmer Amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) in Cotton
- Biology
- 2011
Risks of glyphosate resistance evolution in Palmer amaranth can be reduced by reducing glyphosate use within and among years, controlling populations with diverse herbicide modes of action, and ensuring that population size is kept low.
Evolution of glyphosate resistance in a Lolium rigidum population by glyphosate selection at sublethal doses
- Biology, MedicineHeredity
- 2009
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.
Investigating the potential for glyphosate resistance evolution in UK weedy species
- Biology
- 2015
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.
Modelling evolution and management of glyphosate resistance in Amaranthus palmeri
- Biology
- 2011
A population-based model was developed to simulate the evolution of glyphosate resistance in populations of Amaranthus palmeri and found that the model was sensitive to variations in population size, mutation rate and seed bank dynamics, enabling the risk of resistance evolution to be assessed when parameter values were unknown, uncertain or variable.
Herbicide-resistant weed management: focus on glyphosate.

Results from recent surveys in the United States indicate that such a change in grower attitudes may be occurring because of enhanced awareness of the benefits of proactive management and the relative cost of the reactive management of GR weeds.

The assessment of plant survival and fecundity in response to glyphosate selection in the S and R phenotypes allowed a greater accuracy in the estimation of population fitness of both phenotypes and thus of glyphosate selection intensity in E. colona.
A unified model for wild resistance dynamics and weed control using herbicide
- Biology
- 2015
A model for weed control is proposed that handles the allele frequency in a direct manner, grounded on the very dynamics of the weed life cycle, with no need of a priori distributions nor the use of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

- Biology

Together, the timing of glyphosate applications, the rarity of glyphosate-resistant mutants, the incomplete dominance ofosate-resistant alleles and pleiotropic fitness costs associated with glyphosate resistance, all contribute to its relatively slow evolution in the field.

- Biology

A herbicide resistance model, parameterized for Lolium rigidum has been used to perform a number of simulations to compare predicted rates of evolution of glyphosate resistance under past, present and projected future use strategies, and found risks of glyphosate and paraquat resistance were reduced.
Herbicides used in combination can reduce the probability of herbicide resistance in finite weed populations

The results suggest that adoption of practices that limit movement of weeds in conjunction with using herbicides in combination rather than in rotation can substantially delay development of herbicide resistance.

Genetic variation for tolerance is found, indicating the potential for the population to respond to selection by glyphosate, and the combination of strong positive directional selection in the presence of glyphosate and strong negative Directional selection in its absence may indicate that the selective landscape of land use could drive the evolutionary trajectory of glyphosate tolerance.
The evolution and genetics of herbicide resistance in weeds

The importance of various factors influencing the evolution of herbicide resistance in weeds is critically examined using population genetic models, which can be invaluable in assessing the relative effectiveness of various management practices to avoid, or delay, the occurrence of herbicides resistance in weed populations.

The segregation of resistance in F1×S backcrosses suggests that the major part of the observed resistance is conferred by a single gene, although at low glyphosate treatments other genes may also contribute to plant survival.

Between the two-leaf and tillering stages of development, a susceptible biotype exhibited a small but significant decrease in tolerance to glyphosate, whereas tolerance of the resistant biotype remained unchanged with age.

It is speculated that movement of glyphosate to its site of action in the plastid is involved in the resistance mechanism of annual ryegrass populations that have developed resistance to most major herbicides.
