Glyphosate was commercialized in 1974. Since then, it has become one of the most widely used (and studied) herbicides. According to Duke (2018b), almost 20,000 scientific publications and patents have included glyphosate as a focus; only 2,4-D surpasses it with respect to citations. The articles in the 5th issue of the 74th volume of Pest Management Science all focus on glyphosate and arose from a day long symposium (which was also dedicated to the molecule) that was held at the 252nd annual meeting of the American Chemical Society (Duke 2018a).

The evolution of herbicide resistance in weeds is an ongoing problem in California agriculture. Resistance to glyphosate has become particularly widespread across the state. Normally, glyphosate kills weedy plants by inhibiting 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), an enzyme that is necessary for the production of some important amino acids in plants. However, repeated applications of glyphosate can result in the selection of rare mutant plants that have a unique ability (mechanism) to “resist” death by glyphosate. The mutant plants survive glyphosate application and produce seeds, which give rise to more resistant plants the following year. Over time, repeated glyphosate applications will result in a field,...

Several researchers in the UCD weed science program have been working on various aspects of glyphosate-resistant junglerice (Echinochloa colona) for the past few years. One of our undergraduate student interns, presented a poster at the 2018 Plant and Soil Conference (the California Chapter of the American Society of Agronomy) earlier this month in Fresno.
Drew reported on the (still in process) results of an experiment in which we grew seven populations of junglerice in growth chambers at 20, 30, and 40 C (~68, 86, 104 F) and treated them with a range of glyphosate doses (0, 0.5, and 1 lb ae/A). Drew, Sarah, and other lab members collected data on growth (biomass...
