Overexpression of a Native Gene Encoding 5-Enolpyruvylshikimate-3-Phosphate Synthase (EPSPS) May Enhance Fecundity in Arabidopsis thaliana in the Absence of Glyphosate

Premise of research. Strong environmental selection pressures can lead to rapid adaptation and the opportunity to study evolutionary dynamics in real time. A prime example is the recent evolution of resistance to the herbicide glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, in more than 35 weed specie...
