HERBICIDE TOLERANT PLANT BREEDING IN CEREALS

Necmi Beşer

Abstracts

The breeding of herbicide-tolerant crop plants dates back to the 1980s. To develop herbicide-tolerant varieties, tolerance genes are obtained from naturally occurring gene sources, from material obtained through mutation, or through interspecies gene transfers using biotechnological methods to create genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Most of the imidazolinone-tolerant plants have been improved with conventional plant breeding methods. Imidazolinone herbicides can control weeds, including those closely related to the crop itself and some key parasitic weeds. Imidazolinone-tolerant crop production has benefits of controlling weeds, including those closely related to the crop itself and some key parasitic weeds. There are imidazolinone-tolerant varieties has been improved in corn, rice, canola, sunflower, wheat, barley, lentil, chickpea and sorghum.
