Project description:Resistance to synthetic auxin herbicides was recently confirmed in a population of Amaranthus powellii. Following field studies, an RNA-seq experiment was devised to determine the mechanism of resistance to MCPA (a synthetic auxin herbicide) by comparing the level of gene expression of genes in the auxin pathway between the resistant and a susceptible population of Amaranthus powellii. The results identified several differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the auxin pathway that were significantly downregulated in the resistant samples indicating that the resistance mechanism may be linked to a target site modification.
