Sharing a link to an upcoming seminar on a broad screening of annual bluegrass (Poaannua) resistance to herbicides. This is related to aUSDA Specialty Crop Research Initiative grant called "ResistPoa".
From Weed Science Society of America press release:
Annual bluegrass (Poa annua) is a common and troublesome weed in turfgrass and other landscapes. Its invasive biology and acquired herbicide resistance challenges turfgrass managers by increasing costs and compromising expected outcomes. The USDA-SCRI (Specialty Crops Research Initiative) funded ResistPoa project (www.resistpoa.org) seeks to characterize the national distribution of...

California is the largest producer of processing tomato in the US (Winans et al. 2020). However, the profitability of the tomato industry in California is seriously threatened due to the presence of the parasitic weed branched and Egyptian broomrape (https://ucanr.edu/blogs/blogcore/postdetail.cfm?postnum=50241). These weeds can severely damage the host reducing the aerial biomass and leaf chlorophyll content (Mauromicale et al. 2008) with yield losses of up to 80% (Eizenberg and Goldwasser 2018).
Broomrape produces hundreds of thousands of tiny seeds (0.2 – 0.4 mm), which can be transported easily by humans, water, wind, and animals (Eizenberg et...
