Contents:

Introduction -- Molecular tools for herbicide discovery -- Molecular tools for studying weed biology, ecology, and taxonomy -- Evolution of resistance to herbicides -- Molecular biochemistry of resistances that have evolved in the field -- Generation of biotechnologically derived herbicide-resistant crops (BD-HRC) -- The next generations of BD-HRC -- Transgene introgression from crops to weeds and its modulation -- Modifying crops and weeds to directly control weeds -- Molecular biology in weed biocontrol.

Review: "In Molecular Biology of Weed Control, Jonathan Gressel takes an open-minded approach to the problems, pitfalls and potential benefits of these new technologies and their applications. This is essential reading for those involved in plant molecular biology, agriculture and anyone who has an interest in the future of crop production."--Jacket.
