Herbicide Resistance in Plants Biology and Biochemistry
The late 1980s saw an explosion in the amount and diversity of herbicide resistance posing a threat to crop production in many countries. The rapid escalation in herbicide resistance worldwide and in the understanding of resistance at the population biochemical and molecular level is the focus of this timely book. Leading researchers from North America Australia and Western Europe present lucid reviews that consider the population dynamics and genetics biochemistry and agro-ecology of resistance. Resistance to various herbicides is discussed in detail as well as the mechanisms responsible for cross resistance and multiple resistance. This reference is invaluable to those interested in evolution and the ability of species to overcome severe environmental stress. | Herbicide Resistance in Plants Biology and Biochemistry
