Target-Site Mutations and Expression of <i>ALS</i> Gene Copies Vary According to <i>Echinochloa</i> Species

The sustainability of rice cropping systems is jeopardized by the large number and variety of populations of polyploid <i>Echinochloa</i> spp. resistant to ALS inhibitors. Better knowledge of the <i>Echinochloa</i> species present in Italian rice fields and the study of <i...
