The Triple Amino Acid Substitution TAP-IVS in the <i>EPSPS</i> Gene Confers High Glyphosate Resistance to the Superweed <i>Amaranthus hybridus</i>

The introduction of glyphosate-resistant (GR) crops revolutionized weed management; however, the improper use of this technology has selected for a wide range of weeds resistant to glyphosate, referred to as superweeds. We characterized the high glyphosate resistance level of an <i>Amaranthus...
