Target-site and non-target-site mechanisms confer multiple herbicide resistance in waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus) accessions from Wisconsin.
Article in Pest management science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundA preliminary screening identified a multiple herbicide-resistant waterhemp, Amaranthus tuberculatus (Moq.) Sauer, accession (A101) exhibiting resistance to 2,4-D and atrazine despite no prior exposure to these herbicides. Therefore, our objective was to characterize resistance to 2,4-D, atrazine, glyphosate, fomesafen, and mesotrione in A101, along with two additional multiple herbicide-resistant accessions (A75 and A103).
resultsA101 exhibited low to medium levels of resistance to all five herbicides evaluated (ranging from 1.8-fold for mesotrione to 8.5-fold for fomesafen). Both A75 and A103 also had multiple resistance to glyphosate and atrazine, with A75 and A103 additionally resistant to 2,4-D and fomesafen, respectively. Amplification of EPSPS and the P106S substitution accounted for some of the glyphosate resistance, and some of the fomesafen resistance was explained by the G210 deletion in the target enzyme. Moreover, the use of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) inhibitors indicated that non-target-site resistance (NTSR) mechanisms also contribute to at least some of the resistance traits.
conclusionMetabolic resistance to 2,4-D and atrazine suggests that the use of other herbicides may have contributed to the selection of enhanced P450s and GSTs activity in A101 accession. To our knowledge, this is the first report of P450s associated with atrazine resistance in A. tuberculatus globally. A101 is the first confirmed case of A. tuberculatus resistance to hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase inhibitors in Wisconsin, exhibiting a low-level resistance likely associated with P450s and GSTs activity. Our results suggest the coexistence of target-site resistance and NTSR mechanisms associated with glyphosate resistance in A101. © 2026 The Author(s).
