Determining The Genetic Basis Of Glyphosate Resistance In Wild Populations Of Erigeron Bonariensis

Herbicide ResistanceMoss (2002) defines herbicide resistance as the heritable ability of weeds to survive and reproduce in the presence of herbicide doses that are lethal to the wild type of the species. Herbicide resistance was first observed by an ornamental nursery owner in 1968 (Jasieniuk et al. 1996).
