THIS-CHINA # Engineering Herbicide Resistance: Mutations in The Acetolactate Synthase Binding Domain to Confer Herbicide Resistance # Herbicide resistance among weeds in farmland is a growing concern in sustainable agriculture. In this project, we will focus on Penoxsulam, which is a herbicide that targets the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme in plants, blocking the biosynthesis pathway of Valine Leucine and Isoleucine, leading to growth inhibition. This project aims to engineer a Penoxsulam-resistant ALS enzyme in Rice (Oryza sativa subsp. ...
