Herbicides Toxicology and Weeds Herbicide-Resistant Mechanism—Series II

Dear Colleagues,

Weeds have become an increasing threat to agriculture production. The management of weeds relies heavily on herbicides and causes consequent weed resistance to herbicides, which has been an un-neglectable issue for farmers and weed scientists. Many efforts have been put into the exploring of herbicide toxicology and resistance mechanisms, and many resistance mechanisms for reported resistance cases have been reported. However, more knowledge on herbicide toxicology and resistance are still needed to obtain a better understanding of weed resistance in order to take reasonable resistance management measures, as cases of resistance keep arising.

The aim and scope of this Special Issue are the biochemical and molecular modes of action of herbicides, biochemical and molecular resistance mechanisms of weeds to herbicides, especially cutting-edge research on the molecular modes of action of novel herbicides, and novel resistance mechanisms for weeds to herbicides which have never been reported.

We are soliciting papers that cover the following topics:

• Molecular modes of action of novel herbicides;
• Target-site-based resistance mechanisms for novel resistance cases;
• Non-target-site-based resistance mechanisms for major weeds in crop system;
• Fitness cost of herbicide-resistant weeds.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
