Glyphosate-resistant invasive plants, including Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson, have greatly challenged management of new invasions. Elucidating their glyphosate resistance levels rapidly and accurately will better inform strategies. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) has been used to identify in A. by detecting gene copy numbers 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), an enzyme inhibited glyphosate. However, qPCR can only indirectly determine because it requires a calibrator...
Given the growing concern over ecological impacts of non-native species, exploring these species' expansion edge and distribution patterns their driving factors is important for developing suitable management measures.
