Sequence characterization of eccDNA content in glyphosate sensitive and resistant Palmer amaranth from geographically distant populations.

The discovery of non-chromosomal circular DNA offers new directions in linking genome structure with function in plant biology. Glyphosate resistance through EPSPS gene copy amplification in Palmer amaranth was due to an autonomously replicating extra-chromosomal circular DNA mechanism (eccDNA). CID...
