Resistance to acetolactate synthase inhibitors is due to a W 574 to L amino acid substitution in the ALS gene of redroot pigweed and tall waterhemp.
Several Amaranthus spp. around the world have evolved resistance (and cross resistance) to various herbicide mechanisms of action. Populations of redroot pigweed (RRPW-R) and tall waterhemp (TW-R) in Mississippi, USA have been suspected to be resistant to one or more acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhi...
