Varah A, Ahodo K, Childs D, Comont D, Crook L, Freckleton R, et al.
Sci Rep
. 2024 Mar;
14(1):6201.
PMID: 38485959
Globally, pesticides improve crop yields but at great environmental cost, and their overuse has caused resistance. This incurs large financial and production losses but, despite this, very diversified farm management...

Lowe C, Onkokesung N, Goldberg A, Beffa R, Neve P, Edwards R, et al.
Pest Manag Sci
. 2024 Feb;
80(6):2539-2551.
PMID: 38375975
Background: The evolution of non-target site resistance (NTSR) to herbicides leads to a significant reduction in herbicide control of agricultural weed species. Detecting NTSR in weed populations prior to herbicide...

Comont D, Crook L, Hull R, Sievernich B, Kevis S, Neve P
Pest Manag Sci
. 2024 Feb;
80(7):3172-3181.
PMID: 38345468
Background: Cinmethylin is an inhibitor of plant fatty acid biosynthesis, with in-plant activity caused by its binding to fatty acid thioesterases (FATs). The recent registration of cinmethylin for pre-emergence herbicidal...

Fu W, MacGregor D, Comont D, Saski C
Genes (Basel)
. 2023 Oct;
14(10).
PMID: 37895254
(blackgrass) is a problematic weed of Western European winter wheat, and its success is largely due to widespread multiple-herbicide resistance. Previous analysis of F2 seed families derived from two distinct...

Hickman D, Comont D, Rasmussen A, Birkett M
Ecol Evol
. 2023 Apr;
13(4):e10018.
PMID: 37091561
Allelopathy, that is, plant-plant inhibition via the release of secondary metabolites into the environment, has potential for the management of weeds by circumventing herbicide resistance. However, mechanisms underpinning allelopathy are...

Cai L, Comont D, MacGregor D, Lowe C, Beffa R, Neve P, et al.
New Phytol
. 2022 Dec;
237(5):1891-1907.
PMID: 36457293
Globally, weedy plants are a major constraint to sustainable crop production. Much of the success of weeds rests with their ability to rapidly adapt in the face of human-mediated management...

Comont D, MacGregor D, Crook L, Hull R, Nguyen L, Freckleton R, et al.
Pest Manag Sci
. 2022 Apr;
78(7):3039-3050.
PMID: 35437938
Background: Unravelling the genetic architecture of non-target-site resistance (NTSR) traits in weed populations can inform questions about the inheritance, trade-offs and fitness costs associated with these traits. Classical quantitative genetics...

Dixon A, Comont D, Slavov G, Neve P
Pest Manag Sci
. 2020 Nov;
77(3):1520-1529.
PMID: 33155426
Background: Alopecurus myosuroides (blackgrass) is a major weed in Europe with known resistance to multiple herbicide modes of action. In the UK, there is evidence that blackgrass has undergone a...

Nat Commun
. 2020 Jun;
11(1):3086.
PMID: 32555156
Intense selection by pesticides and antibiotics has resulted in a global epidemic of evolved resistance. In agriculture and medicine, using mixtures of compounds from different classes is widely accepted as...
