ABC transporters linked to multiple herbicide resistance in blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Enhanced detoxification is a prominent mechanism protecting plants from toxic xenobiotics and endows resistance to diverse herbicide chemistries in grass weeds such as blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides).

Wheat root length and not branching is altered in the presence of neighbours, including blackgrass. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The effect of neighbouring plants on crop root system architecture may directly interfere with water and nutrient acquisition, yet this important and interesting aspect of competition remains poorly understood.

The blackgrass genome reveals patterns of non-parallel evolution of polygenic herbicide resistance. [PDF]
New Phytol, 2023 Globally, weedy plants are a major constraint to sustainable crop production. Much of the success of weeds rests with their ability to rapidly adapt in the face of human-mediated management of agroecosystems.

Intra- and interspecies competition of blackgrass and wheat in the context of herbicidal resistance and environmental conditions in Poland [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides Huds.), one of the most aggressive grass weeds in Europe, is also a strong competitor of crops. This study aimed to assess the impact of environmental conditions on the competition between (1) ACC-ase and ALS herbicide ...

Evolution of generalist resistance to herbicide mixtures reveals a trade-off in resistance management [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Mixtures of antibiotics or pesticides can help reduce the evolution of resistance to individual compounds. Here, Comont et al. show that in blackgrass, an important agricultural weed, herbicide mixtures do reduce specialized resistance but instead can ...

Temperature-dependent germination dynamics of herbicide-resistant and susceptible blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides) and silky windgrass (Apera spica-venti) from Poland [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHerbicide-resistant grass weeds, including blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides Huds.) and silky windgrass (Apera spica‑venti (L.) P.Beauv), pose an escalating challenge to sustainable cereal production in Europe.

Linkage of the current ALS-resistance status with field history information of multiple fields infested with blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides Huds.) in southern Germany [PDF]
Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2016 The repetitive use of herbicides as major tool to control troublesome weeds in agriculture caused an increase in resistant weeds lately, especially when Integrated Weed Management principles were ignored.

Root discrimination of closely related crop and weed species using FT MIR-ATR spectroscopy [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Root discrimination of species is a pre-condition for studying belowground competition processes between crop and weed species. In this experiment, we tested Fourier transform mid-infrared (FT MIR)-attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy to ...

Suppressing Alopecurus myosuroides in winter cereals by delayed sowing and pre-emergence herbicides
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2022 Delayed sowing of winter cereals in Western Europe is a preventive method to reduce Alopecurus myosuroides infestations. Two series of on-farm studies including 36 experiments were conducted in South-Western Germany to analyse the combined effects of ...
