Weeds cause serious constraint to faba bean (Vicia L.) productivity. Broad weed control is hampered by the availability of postemergence herbicides them, as current cultivars are highly susceptible them. Therefore, deployment herbicide tolerance desirable in bean. To address this, 130 accessions were screened for their response mature plants under field conditions recommended dosage two herbici...

A herbicide resistant Euglena mutant (MSI) has been obtained by adapting wild type cells to increasing concentrations o f D C M U (3-(3',4'-dichlorophenyl)-l ,1-dimethylurea). Lower re­ sistance levels towards D CM U and metribuzin were observed in MSI when compared with Euglena or C hlam ydom onas mutants with Ser 264 to Ala substitutions. RNA-sequence analysis identified a Ser to Thr change a...
