Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Nilda R. Burgos, a Professor in Weed Physiology at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, studies herbicide resistance in weeds and its underlying genetic and biochemical mechanisms. Her research group focuses on understanding how weed populations evolve resistance to commonly used herbicides, particularly in economically important crops. Burgos has published extensively on weedy rice (Oryza spp.) and Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri), investigating their interactions with crops like peanut and their spread in agricultural regions, including Arkansas.
Her work has identified specific molecular mechanisms contributing to herbicide resistance, such as the amplification and overexpression of genes like glutamine synthetase 2 (GS2) in response to herbicides like glufosinate. She also investigates the persistence of herbicides in soil and the genetic adaptations of weeds to agricultural technologies. Burgos's research network includes collaborators such as Matthew B. Bertucci, Gulab Rangani, Mary C. Savin, and Pâmela Carvalho-Moore, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
Burgos is recognized as a highly cited researcher, evidenced by her h-index of 42 and over 7,400 citations across her 198 publications. Her research contributes to the development of more effective weed management strategies, addressing a significant challenge in modern agriculture.
