Genetic Variability of Acetolactate Synthase (ALS) Sequence in <i>Centaurea cyanus</i> Plants Resistant and Susceptible to Tribenuron-Methyl

<i>Centaurea cyanus</i>, belonging to the Asteraceae family, is an arable weed species encountered mainly in fields with cereals, sugar beet, and maize. The high genetic variability of <i>C. cyanus</i> has been recently reported; however, little is known about its sequence va...
