摘要

As new herbicide-resistant crops come to market, it can be assumed that there will be a dramatic increase in use of 2,4-D and dicamba. Weed resistance could follow suit, and so a better understanding of the mechanism is urgently needed. In this issue of Journal of Experimental Botany (pages 3223-3235), Goggin et al. report on their analysis of 2,4-D resistance in wild radish. An elegant combination of physiological and biochemical studies led the authors to identify impaired transport of the herbicide as the cause of resistance.
