Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glufosinate-ammonium (GFA) is a non-selective herbicide that inhibits glutamine synthetase (GS), a key enzyme in plant nitrogen metabolism. Although resistance to GFA has been reported in several weed species, confirmed cases of target-site resistance (TSR) via GS mutations remain rare. In Amaranthus palmeri, resistance is usually associated with GS gene amplification and overexpression, while the...
