Abstract excerpt
Wild biotypes of cultivated sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.) are weeds in corn ( Zea mays L.), soybean ( Glycine max L.), and other crops in North America, and are commonly controlled by applying acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS)-inhibiting herbicides. Biotypes resistant to two classes of AHAS-inhibiting herbicides-imidazolinones (IMIs) or sulfonylureas (SUs)-have been discovered in wild sunflower populations...
