Abstract excerpt
Black-grass (Alopecurus myosuroides) is an allogamous grass weed common in cereal fields of northern Europe, which developed resistance to a widely used family of herbicides, the ACCase-inhibiting herbicides. Resistance is caused by mutations at the ACCase gene and other, metabolism-based, mechanisms. We investigated the genetic structure of 36 populations of black-grass collected in one region of France (Côte...
