<i>EPSPS</i> duplication and mutation involved in glyphosate resistance in the allotetraploid weed species <scp><i>Poa annua</i></scp> L.

Abstract

We report the first case of glyphosate resistance associated with both EPSPS duplication and target-site mutation at position 106, leading to high levels of glyphosate resistance in the allotetraploid weed species Poa annua L. Data obtained in this research will be useful for the development of diagnostic tools for rapid glyphosate resistance identification, monitoring and containment. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
