Summary: This study reveals that nitrogen metabolism may be a target-resistant site in goosegrass, providing insights into the mechanisms of glufosinate resistance. Comparing the physiological and gene expression differences between glufosinate-susceptible and resistant goosegrass, the study identifies a potential role of nitrogen metabolism in glufosinate tolerance.

Summary: Herbicide resistance is a significant issue in weed management. Glyphosate is the dominant herbicide used and controls a wide range of weeds, including Lolium rigidum. Some populations of L. rigidum in Australia have developed resistance to glyphosate and can now grow throughout the summer. The resistance of three L. rigidum populations, including a glyphosate-resistant summer-emerging population, a glyphosate-susceptible winter-emerging population, and a winter-emerging population with unknown resistance status, was analyzed. The analysis showed that the summer-emerging glyphosate-resistant population was significantly more resistant to glyphosate than the winter-emerging glyphosate-susceptible population. However, no target-site mutations were found in the resistant population, suggesting non-target-site resistance.

Summary: Plant-based bioherbicide WeedLock demonstrated effective weed control and non-selectivity in both glasshouse and field conditions. Compared to chemical herbicides, WeedLock showed similar efficacy to glyphosate isopropyl-amine for Ageratum conyzoides L. and displayed sustainable weed control potential in the experiments.

Summary: This study aimed to determine if selected Iowa waterhemp populations are less sensitive to VLCFA-inhibiting herbicides when additional herbicide resistance traits have evolved within the selected population. The results of the experiments provide evidence that some MHR waterhemp populations may exhibit decreased susceptibility to VLCFA-inhibiting herbicides, but generally, these herbicides remain efficacious on Iowa MHR waterhemp populations.

Summary: Over the years, agricultural interventions and technologies, such as herbicides, have contributed greatly to global food production. However, the success of chemical weed control has now brought about herbicide resistance in agricultural weeds, posing a threat to food security and human survival. This paper discusses the molecular background of herbicide resistant weed biotypes and proposes alternative non-chemical weed management methods to prevent further development and spreading of herbicide-resistant weeds.

Summary: The battle against weeds in crop production requires a focus on sustainable management in the context of global climate change. Climate change may alter plant responses and weed dynamics, leading to shifts in weed community compositions and potential dominance in agro-ecosystems.

Summary: The world's population growth has led to increased pressure on agricultural production, exacerbated by climate change, water scarcity, and reduced arable land. Weeds can negatively impact food production, but they also serve as indicators of biodiversity. Effective and sustainable weed management is necessary to balance resource competition without harming the agrarian ecosystem. Overreliance on mechanization and herbicides should be avoided, while addressing herbicide resistance. Advances in weed control technologies offer the potential for increased food production, reduced inputs, and minimized environmental damage, contributing to more sustainable agricultural systems.

Summary: Herbicide-resistant weeds pose a significant challenge to agricultural systems worldwide, and current best practices have failed to address this issue. A qualitative social research conducted with arable farmers and agricultural stakeholders in the Canterbury region of New Zealand reveals that farmers' herbicide use is influenced by various factors, some of which hinder the implementation of recommended best practices. Integrated systems-based approaches are crucial to understanding and tackling herbicide resistance.

Summary: Annual ryegrass has become the most problematic weed in Australian grain production regions, causing significant revenue losses for grain growers. Integrated weed management programs are widely practiced to control the weed due to its genetic diversity and herbicide resistance. A comprehensive review of the biology and management of annual ryegrass in conservation cropping systems is needed for further research and suitable management strategies.

Summary: Herbicides are effective in weed management, but the evolution of multiple herbicide resistance poses a threat to crop yield and profitability. Monitoring and diagnostics for resistance, along with innovation in herbicide discovery, are critical to combat this issue, as well as making changes in the patterns of herbicide use to slow down the selection pressure for resistance.

Summary: HR crops play an important role in integrated weed management in the United States and Canada. However, the widespread cultivation of HR crops has led to the evolution of HR weed populations. Proper stewardship of HR crops can reduce herbicide use and selection pressure on weeds. Careful planning of crop rotation and maximizing crop competition is essential for managing HR weed populations effectively.

Summary: Lolium rigidum, the most economically impactful weed in Australia, was tested for resistance to 21 herbicides in this study. The results showed varying levels of resistance across different herbicides, with populations in different regions showing resistance to specific herbicides. These findings will help in developing effective strategies for weed resistance management in Australia.

Summary: The genome of the major agricultural weed species, annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum), was assembled, annotated and analyzed. The study revealed the remarkable capacity of this weed to evolve resistance to herbicides with various modes of action. The researchers achieved a chromosome-level assembly using advanced sequencing techniques and also found evidence for the expansion of herbicide resistance-related gene families. This research provides important genetic information for the management of this problematic weed species.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of seed meals obtained from allelopathic crops as an environmentally-friendly alternative for the control of herbicide-susceptible (S) and -resistant (R) rye brome biotypes in winter wheat. The results showed that seed meals from Phacelia tanacetifolia and Raphanus sativus var. oleiformis had good control effects on rye brome, significantly reducing its emergence and limiting its initial growth.

Summary: Bacterial GSTs are mainly involved in primary metabolism to support microorganism survival in low-nutrient environments. They exhibit unique enzymatic activities, such as binding with antibiotics, oxidoreductase activity, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) binding. Utilizing bacterial GST in bioremediation offers advantages of simplicity, low cost, minimal harm, and long-term protection.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the GSTs induced by acute insecticide challenges and analyze the detoxification mechanisms in Aedes albopictus larvae. The findings suggest that Delta and Epsilon GSTs are mainly involved in the detoxification mechanism via direct glutathione metabolism or the sequestration of insecticides, providing protection against oxidative stress induced by insecticide exposure.

Summary: Black soldier fly larvae can replace fishmeal up to 50% in tilapia diets without affecting their growth. This study aimed to improve the formulation by supplementing red seaweed, Gracilaria changii, at different percentages. The results showed that adding 7.5% G. changii in a diet containing 15% black soldier fly larvae had similar effects on growth and feed efficiency.

Summary: The study found that black soldier fly prepupae oil can partially replace fish oil, and using 25%BSO in tilapia diets can achieve optimal growth performance and food conversion ratio. BSO is rich in fatty acids such as lauric acid, palmitic acid, and oleic acid, which are beneficial for tilapia. In addition, fish fed with BSO had higher levels of DHA, and diets with up to 50% fish oil replacement showed high lipid digestibility.
