Herbicide resistant weeds pose one of the most significant global challenges to sustainable food and fiber production. Plant traits are assumed to play a significant role in determining whether a weed is likely to evolve herbicide resistance but there have been few quantitative assessments to date. There is therefore an urgent need to investigate both the demographic and evolutionary characteristics of weeds to predict which weed species are likely to evolve herbicide resistance. Here, the discriminatory power of multiple plant traits was examined by comparing herbicide resistant and herbicide susceptible weeds in the United States.

物种流行和植物性状区分除草剂抗性杂草和易感杂草

抗除草剂杂草是可持续食品和纤维生产面临的最重大全球挑战之一。假定植物性状在确定杂草是否可能产生除草剂抗性方面发挥重要作用，但迄今为止几乎没有定量评估。因此，迫切需要研究杂草的人口统计和进化特征，以预测哪些杂草物种可能会产生除草剂抗性。在这里，通过比较美国的除草剂抗性杂草和除草剂敏感杂草，检验了多种植物性状的辨别力。
