Gene expression in response to glyphosate treatment in fleabane (<scp><i>Conyza bonariensis</i></scp>) – glyphosate death response and candidate resistance genes

Abstract

We demonstrate that glyphosate resistance in C. bonariensis is not the result of EPSPS mutations or overexpression, but due to a non-target-site mechanism. A large number of genes are affected by glyphosate treatment. We present a list of candidate non-target-site-resistance (NTSR) genes in fleabane for future studies into these mechanisms. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
