UNLABELLED Biocides, such as herbicides, are routinely tested for toxicity but not for sublethal effects on microbes. Many biocides are known to induce an adaptive multiple-antibiotic resistance phenotype. This can be due to either an increase in the expression of efflux pumps, a reduced synthesis of outer membrane porins, or both. Exposures of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovar T...

The challenges of resistance to antibiotics and herbicides have much in common. Antibiotic became a risk the 1950s, but concerted global effort manage it did not begin until after 2000. Widespread herbicide use began during 1950s was soon followed by an unabated rise resistance. Here, we examine what lessons for combatting could be learnt from global, coordinated efforts all stakeholders avert ...

to study the molecular basis for resistance of lolium rigidum populations (from fars province) to aryloxyphenoxy propionate herbicide through dcaps method, an experiment was conducted at the biotechnology laboratory of shiraz university. eighteen populations of l. rigium suspected of herbicide resistance, from zarghan, fasa. noorabad and firoozabad areas which had survived a recomended dose of ...

over the past 20 years since tribenuron-methyl herbicide registration in iran, reports of erratic control of broadleaf weeds with it have increased in wheat fields of aq qala. in order to evaluate the incidence of resistance in wild mustard (sinapis arvensis) and turnipweed (rapistrum rugosum) to tribenuron-methyl herbicide, dose-response assays were conducted during the years 1390 and 1391 at ...

The use of a nonlethal selection scheme, most often using the aadA gene that confers resistance to spectinomycin and streptomycin, has been considered critical for recovery of plastid transformation events. In this study, the plastid-lethal markers, glyphosate or phosphinothricin herbicides, were used to develop a selection scheme for plastids that circumvents the need for integration of an ant...

Agricultural weeds have rapidly adapted to intensive herbicide selection and resistance to herbicides has evolved within ecological timescales. Yet, the genetic basis of broad-spectrum generalist herbicide resistance is largely unknown. This study aims to determine the genetic control of non-target-site herbicide resistance trait(s) that rapidly evolved under recurrent selection of the novel li...
