Mutations at codon position 1999 of acetyl‐<scp>CoA</scp> carboxylase confer resistance to <scp>ACCase</scp>‐inhibiting herbicides in Japanese foxtail (<i>Alopecurus japonicus</i>)

Abstract

This study revealed that A. japonicus had multiple copies of genes encoding plastidic ACCase, and each gene was able to carry its own mutation. It also established the clear importance of the W1999C and W1999L mutations in conferring resistance to ACCase-inhibiting herbicides.
