Abstract excerpt
Gene mutations conferring herbicide resistance are hypothesized to have negative pleiotropic effects on plant growth and fitness, which may in turn determine the evolutionary dynamics of herbicide resistance alleles. We used the widespread, annual, diploid grass weed Alopecurus aequalis as a mode...
