The paper shows how a nitrilase gene was co-opted to confer herbicide resistance in weeds through coding and regulatory changes.

This study identifies resistance mechanisms in Echinochloa crus-galli biotypes from the Philippines to the ALS inhibitor bispyribac-sodium, revealing genetic and metabolic factors contributing to resistance.

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 promiscuous CYP81A P450 enzymes in Echinochloa phyllopogon that confer resistance to synthetic auxin herbicides through metabolic detoxification.

The paper presents a telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of Echinochloa phyllopogon, revealing structural differences between its A and B genomes and their implications for herbicide resistance.
