Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Juan Camilo Velásquez investigates mechanisms of herbicide resistance in weeds and explores herbicide options for crop cultivation. His research has focused on understanding how weeds develop resistance to various herbicides, including PPO inhibitors, ACCase inhibitors, and auxin herbicides. Velásquez has also examined the impact of herbicides on crop plants, such as assessing the selectivity of florpyrauxifen-benzyl to rice and the competitiveness of rice with resistant junglerice. His work includes characterizing stress responses in common lambsquarters induced by glyphosate and evaluating the seed production potential of jungle rice when exposed to herbicides and high temperatures.

Velásquez's research contributes to the field of weed science by elucidating the physiological and genetic underpinnings of herbicide resistance. He has published on the differential expression of metabolic genes associated with multiple herbicide resistance in *Echinochloa colona* and the effect of target-site mutations on ACCase inhibitor resistance in *Lolium multiflorum*. His research network includes collaborators such as Nilda R. Burgos and Nilda Roma-Burgos at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
