Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Fidel González‐Torralva investigates herbicide resistance mechanisms in agricultural weeds. His research focuses on understanding how weeds like Palmer amaranth (<i>Amaranthus palmeri</i>) and barnyardgrass (<i>Echinochloa crus‐galli</i>) develop resistance to commonly used herbicides, such as glufosinate, florpyrauxifen‐benzyl, cyhalofop‐butyl, and trifluralin. He has published work detailing the molecular basis of this resistance, including the overexpression of specific genes like Acetyl CoA Carboxylase 1 and 3 (ACCase1 and ACCase3) and CYP81A21, and specific gene mutations such as Ile1781Leu in ACCase. González‐Torralva also studies the cross-resistance patterns of weeds to different herbicide classes and the efficacy of herbicides like benzobicyclon, which can be influenced by plant growth stage and genetic factors. His work involves collaborations with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Jason K. Norsworthy, with whom he has co-authored eight publications. González‐Torralva's research contributes to the understanding of weed management strategies in agriculture.
