Deciphering metabolic resistance to multiple herbicides in Amaranthus palmeri via transcriptome analysis.
BACKGROUND Multiple herbicide resistance in Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson) poses a serious threat to US crop production. A Palmer amaranth population (KCTR) from Kansas was found resistant to herbicides across six sites-of-action, including ALS-, PS II-, EPSPS-, PPO-, HPPD-inhibitors and synthetic auxin...
