The paper presents chromosome-level genome assemblies for four Amaranthus species, revealing conserved sex chromosome inversions and providing resources for evolutionary and agronomic research.

This study identifies a SNP in ARF9 causing a leucine to phenylalanine substitution, disrupting ARF9-Aux/IAA interactions and contributing to MCPA resistance in Amaranthus powellii.

This study shows that knocking out CPR1 in herbicide-tolerant Arabidopsis reduces herbicide resistance, identifying CPRs as targets for managing herbicide resistance evolution in weeds.

This study identifies a transposable element insertion in AUX/IAA16 that disrupts splicing and causes dicamba resistance in kochia, with implications for herbicide resistance management.

This study identifies FHY3/FAR1 transposable elements as drivers of adaptive genetic variation in Bassia scoparia, contributing to herbicide resistance through genomic rearrangements.

This study identifies CYP72A1182 as a gene involved in tembotrione resistance in Amaranthus palmeri, linked to cis-regulatory polymorphisms and increased expression in resistant populations.

This study examines how subgenome-specific ALS mutations and expression levels affect herbicide resistance in allohexaploid Echinochloa crus-galli.

The paper presents chromosome-level genomes of three Amaranthus species, identifies a male-specific region, and characterizes genes and eccDNA related to sex determination and herbicide resistance.

The paper presents a phased chromosome-level genome assembly of Amaranthus tuberculatus and identifies a sex-determining region with unique features and gene expression patterns.

The paper outlines genomic resources developed by the International Weed Genomics Consortium to improve weed control and crop breeding through insights into stress tolerance.

The paper reports a draft genome of kochia and identifies a mobile genetic element involved in EPSPS gene duplication, leading to glyphosate resistance.
