Multiple modes of convergent adaptation in the spread of glyphosate-resistant Amaranthus tuberculatus [Evolution]

The selection pressure exerted by herbicides has led to the repeated evolution of herbicide resistance in weeds. The evolution of herbicide resistance on contemporary timescales in turn provides an outstanding opportunity to investigate key questions about the genetics of adaptation, in particular the relative importance of adaptation from new mutations,...
