<p>The invention provides methods for identifying polymorphic markers for herbicide resistance in weeds and for generating herbicide susceptible and herbicide resistant weeds by mutagenizing weeds and comparing genetic differences between herbicide resistant and herbicide susceptible weeds. The methods may involve the inhibition of mismatch repair in the weeds through the introduction of dominant negative alleles of mismatch repair genes, through T-DNA insertional mutations, or the use of chemical inhibitors of mismatch repair. The invention also provides polymorphic markers of herbicide resistance and methods and kits to screen for herbicide resistant weeds, such as horseweed, goosegrass and rye grass.</p> |
