The herbicide-resistant weed has been found in orchards, but tolerance to glyphosate can develop anywhere that the chemical is used repeatedly, said Ed Peachey, horticulture professor at OSU.
Chris Mathews, a professor emeritus of biochemistry and biophysics at Oregon State University, says the finding could help researchers better understand how defects in purine metabolism produce disease.
