Field and laboratory assessments of sugarcane mutants selected in vitro for resistance to imazapyr herbicide

Seven imazapyr-tolerant mutant sugarcane plants, previously generated by in vitro mutagenesis, were studied. The imazapyr concentrations required to inhibit their acetolactate synthase (ALS basal activity) (IC50 as μmoles acetoin h-1 mg-1 protein) were 0.77 – 5.36 times greater than that of the N12...
