Each of us have the entire blueprint for our bodies contained in every cell, and the same is true of plants. This information is stored in the form of an extremely long molecule known as DNA (in human cells its length is ~6 feet). Studying and understanding DNA in plants has led to many advances in weed science including; the development of herbicide- tolerant crop varieties, understanding the causes of herbicide resistance and understanding the origins and spread of weeds in our environment.
Here in California, the weed science group at UC Davis is utilizing this technology to investigate glyphosate resistance that has been detected in California populations of junglerice. Junglerice is a summer grass weed present in many...

This is the abstract and a poster from a presentation that I made at the 2016 Weed Science Society of America meeting in San Juan, PR. The results were generated from one run of each of the experiments. At this time, all of the studies have been replicated, the data is being analyzed and the manuscripts are in preparation.
