This research demonstrates ACC1 mutations confer herbicide resistance in wheat, suggesting a potential boost for crop breeding.
In wheat, the G2084S substitution renders ACC1 insensitive to the herbicide quizalofop-p-ethyl (QPE). In hexaploid wheat, stacking the G2084S allele across subgenomes confers enhanced resistance to QPE. A low-dose (250 ppm) of QPE can effectively control weeds in wheat fields without causing a yield penalty.
