Our latest published paper is Inheritance of 2,4-D resistance traits in multiple herbicide-resistant Raphanus raphanistrum (wild radish) populations. In this podcast, Roberto Busi explains the findings of his study.In his research, Roberto found the inheritance of 2,4-D resistance in two Raphanus (wild radish) populations in which previous AHRI research had well characterised 2,4-D resistance. In both populations, the 2,4-D resistance was found to be clearly inherited as a single, nuclear (pollen transmitted) dominant or near-dominant gene trait. It is noteworthy that the 2,4-D resistance gene trait is strongly dominant, whereas often single gene resistance is semi-dominant. This clear single gene dominant 2,4-D resistance will aid AHRI researcher Dr Danica Goggin in her work to identify the mechanism of 2,4-D resistance in Raphanus.You can access the paper here: http://ahri.uwa.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Inheritance-of-24-D-resistance-traits-in-multiple-herbicide-resistant-Raphanus-raphanistrum-populations.pdfMusic: bensound.com
