Abstract excerpt
In modern agriculture, frequent application of herbicides may induce the evolution of resistance in plants, but the mechanisms underlying herbicide resistance remain largely unexplored. Here, we report the characterization of rtp1 (resistant to paraquat 1), an Arabidopsis mutant showing strong resistance to the widely used herbicides paraquat and diquat. The rtp1 mutant is semi-dominant and carries a point...
