Ahri Snapshots

In this podcast, with chatting with AHRI PhD candidate Huan Lu about his paper “Metribuzin resistance in a wild radish population via both psbA mutation and enhanced metabolism”. The authors of this paper are Huan Lu, Qin Yu, Heping Han, Mechelle J. Owen, and Stephen B. Powles.This paper identifies multiple mechanisms: as well as psbA gene mutation there is a non-target site resistance mechanism of enhanced metabolism. In his current studies, Huan Lu is documenting that this non-target site enhanced metabolism resistance endows resistance to other very different herbicides. This information will become available in Huan’s next publication.You can read the AHRI insight on this work here: https://ahri.uwa.edu.au/is-there-an-invisible-gorilla-in-your-paddock/You can follow AHRI on Twitter here.
