Molecular studies of fluazifop resistance mechanisms in goosegrass (Eleusine indica)

Abstract

Goosegrass (Eleusine indica) populations resistant to fluazifop, which is an acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase:EC 6.4.1.2) - inhibiting herbicide was found in three areas out of nine areas investigated in Malaysia. These E.indica populations which designated as P2, P3 and P4 biotypes respectively were originated from Kulim (Kedah), Grik (Perak) and Renggam (Johor).
