A novel Phe-206-Leu mutation in acetolactate synthase confers resistance to penoxsulam in barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv).

This report provides clear evidence that the ALS mutation at position 206 (Phe-206-Leu) confers penoxsulam resistance in barnyardgrass. Phe-206 was confirmed to be the ninth amino acid residue related to ALS herbicide resistance in weeds. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
