Abstract excerpt
Monochoria vaginalis and M. korsakowii are allotetraploid noxious weeds in rice cultivation. Occurrences of resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides have been reported in these weeds in Japan since the 1990s. The existence of multiple copies of ALS genes in both species has hindered and complicated the detailed study of molecular mechanisms in them. To determine the copy number and...
