Basis for Resistance to AHAS Inhibitors

In yeast AHAS, spontaneous mutations at ten separate sites have each been shown to confer resistance to SUs [63, 64]. The X-ray crystal stmcture of yeast AHAS bound with chlorimuron ethyl revealed that nine of those residues make direct contact with the herbicidal molecule [54]. The authors studied the effects
