Alterations in the 5' untranslated region of the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) gene influence EPSPS overexpression in glyphosate-resistant Eleusine indica.

Alterations in the 5' UTR Py-rich stretch element of EPSPS are responsible for glyphosate-induced EPSPS overexpression. Thus, EPSPS transcriptional regulation confers glyphosate resistance in this E. indica population. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
