Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase 2 (PPO2) inhibitors are important for the management of glyphosate- and acetolactate synthase-resistant Palmer amaranth [Amaranthus palmeri (S.) Wats.]. The evolving resistance to PPO inhibitors is of great concern. We surveyed the evolution of resistance to fomesafen in the US Mid-south and determined its correlation with the known functional PPO2 target-site mutations...
