Non-Mendelian Inheritance of Gene amplification-based Resistance to Glyphosate in Hordeum glaucum (Barley grass) from South Australia.

BACKGROUND
Hordeum glaucum Steud. is an important grass weed species in South Australia that has evolved resistance to glyphosate. This study investigated the mode of inheritance of glyphosate resistance in this species.


RESULTS
Hand-pollination of glyphosate susceptible and resistant populations generated two F1 individuals, selfed to produce F2 progenies. In dose response experiments, the F2 progenies showed intermediate response between the two parent populations. High variation in EPSPS gene copies was observed among F2 individuals, with some individuals possessing more gene copies than the resistant parent population. No evidence of a Mendelian single gene pattern of inheritance was observed.


CONCLUSION
Inheritance of gene amplification in H. glaucum is non-Mendelian. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
