12 Apr 1985 | Journal: | Science, 228 (4696), 204-207 | Abstract: | Plants and algae resistant to the commonly used s-triazine herbicides display a wide spectrum of cross-resistance to other herbicides that act in a similar manner. Analysis of uniparental mutants of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardi showed that three different amino acid residues in the 32-kilodalton thylakoid membrane protein can be independently altered to produce three different patterns of resistance to s-triazine and urea-type herbicides. These results clarify the molecular basis for herbicide resistance and cross-resistance. Two of the mutations do not alter normal electron transport and thus may have applications of agronomic interest. | Source: | PubMed, pmid17779643 doi: 10.1126/science.228.4696.204 | Services: | Forum | Review | Favorites |
