OverviewAI-generated summary

Susee Sudhakar's research investigates mechanisms of herbicide resistance in crop plants and weeds. Her work has focused on understanding how specific genes and genetic traits in plants influence their sensitivity to herbicides, particularly triketone herbicides like tembotrione and mesotrione. Sudhakar has studied the role of cytochrome P450 genes, such as CYP81Q32-like, in conferring differential sensitivity in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum). She has also examined target-site mutations in enzymes like glutamine synthetase, which contribute to resistance against herbicides such as glufosinate-ammonium.

Her publications also address herbicide resistance in other weed species, including Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) and annual bluegrass (Poa annua), exploring genetic factors like EPSPS duplication. Sudhakar's research contributes to understanding the complex genetic basis of herbicide resistance, a critical issue in agricultural weed management. Her work has been supported by grants and collaborations within the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
