OverviewAI-generated summary

Amar S. Godar's research focuses on understanding herbicide resistance mechanisms in agricultural weeds, particularly in crops like rice. His work has investigated how various weed species, including Kochia scoparia and Amaranthus palmeri, develop resistance to common herbicides such as glyphosate, atrazine, and HPPD inhibitors. Godar has examined the physiological and molecular basis of this resistance, including gene amplification and metabolic detoxification pathways involving glutathione S-transferase (GST). His research also extends to weed management strategies in rice cultivation, aiming to establish frameworks for effective control based on field surveys.

He has published 38 papers, accumulating 641 citations and an h-index of 10. Godar collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including L. Tom Barber, Matthew C. Woolard, Jason K. Norsworthy, and Samuel B. Fernandes, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. His recent work includes studies on flooding tolerance in bearded sprangletop and herbicide resistance management in California rice.
