Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Nilda R. Burgos's research focuses on understanding and managing herbicide resistance in weeds, particularly weedy rice (Oryza spp.) and Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri). Her work investigates the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying this resistance, including gene amplification and overexpression, as well as the influence of xenobiotic detoxification pathways.

Her publications examine specific herbicide resistance mechanisms, such as resistance to S-metolachlor in Palmer amaranth and resistance to glufosinate. Burgos also studies the ecological impacts of weed competition, including the effects of Palmer amaranth on crops like peanut. Her research extends to the persistence of herbicides in soil and the genomic evolution of weedy rice in response to agricultural technologies. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Matthew B. Bertucci and Gulab Rangani.

With an h-index of 42 and over 7,200 citations across 197 publications, Burgos is recognized as a highly cited researcher. She leads a research group dedicated to these areas of study, contributing significantly to crop protection and weed science.
