The blackgrass genome reveals patterns of non-parallel evolution of polygenic herbicide resistance [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2023 Summary 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. Alopecurus myosuroides (blackgrass) is a widespread and impactful weed affecting agriculture in Europe. Here we report a chromosome‐scale

Molecular analysis of metabolic resistance in blackgrass [PDF]
Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2014 A transcriptomics approach was chosen in order to determine candidate genes for metabolic herbicide resistance in a quantitative comparison of expressed genes in sensitive wild type and resistant blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides = ALOMY) plants ...

Standing genetic variation fuels rapid evolution of herbicide resistance in blackgrass [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023 Repeated herbicide applications in agricultural fields exert strong selection on weeds such as blackgrass ( Alopecurus myosuroides ), which is a major threat for temperate climate cereal crops.

Sequence Characterization of Extra-Chromosomal Circular DNA Content in Multiple Blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides) Populations. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2023 Alopecurus myosuroides (blackgrass) is a problematic weed of Western European winter wheat, and its success is largely due to widespread multiple-herbicide resistance. Previous analysis of F2 seed families derived from two distinct blackgrass populations exhibiting equivalent non-target site resistance (NTSR) phenotypes shows resistance is polygenic ...

Changes in the proteome of the problem weed blackgrass correlating with multiple-herbicide resistance. [PDF]
Plant J, 2018 SummaryHerbicide resistance in grass weeds is now one of the greatest threats to sustainable cereal production in Northern Europe. Multiple‐herbicide resistance (MHR), a poorly understood multigenic and quantitative trait, is particularly problematic as it provides tolerance to most classes of chemistries currently used for post‐emergence weed control.

Blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides Huds.) Multiple Resistance to ACCase- and ALS-Inhibitors and Its Competition with Winter Wheat. [PDF]
Genes (Basel)Background/Objectives: The herbicide resistance of blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides Huds.) is one of the most serious problems in the winter cereal monoculture in Europe. Recently, Greek farmers expressed complaints of reduced susceptibility of this weed to winter wheat herbicides.

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals [PDF]
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

The genetic architecture and spatiotemporal dynamics of adaptation across human‐modified landscapes [PDF]
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 744-750, January 2026.Summary Understanding the rate and nature of adaptation is crucial for managing biodiversity across our changing landscapes. This perspective synthesizes insights from resistance evolution – a case of rapid, repeated adaptation to extreme human‐mediated selection – to reveal how adaptive genetic architectures determine and feedback with evolutionary ...
