In contrast, Ernst et al, (1996) have shown that a substitution at Ser264 does not necessarily lead to herbicide resistance. They found both Ser and Gly at position 264 in various sensitive and resistant biotypes of common groundsel. However, all resistant biotypes of black nightshade had Gly at position 264, but some of the sensitive biotypes also had Gly at this position. They suggested that the effect of this mutation in sensitive biotypes was overcome by two additional mutations in these biotypes alanine at position 251 (Ala25i) to arginine (Arg) and valine at position 280 (Val280) to leucine (Leu). In sensitive common lambsquarters, only Ser was present at position 264 either Ser or Gly were detected at position 264 in different atrazine-resistant plants (Ernst et al, 1996). 

Weed species resistant to the triazines that have been found in one or more fields in 10 or more states, provinces, or countries include smooth pigweed, Powell amaranth, redroot pigweed, common lamb s-quarters, kochia, common groundsel, black nightshade, and annual bluegrass (Tables 10.1(a) and 10.1(b)).

Description and where found.— The black nightshade is a smooth annual, 1 to 2 feet high, with rough, angular, widely branching stems ... 

Poisonous properties.—The amount of poison present in any part of this plant varies with the conditions of growth. The more musky-odored plants are the most poisonous. In some, the amount of alkaloid in the ripe fruit and leaves is so small that these parts may be, and are, consumed in considerable quantity without any ill consequences. Poisoning does sometimes follow, but it is not clear whether this is due to improper preparation or to careless selection of the parts used. The use of black nightshade for food is certainly not to be recommended. Cases of poisoning are recorded for calves, sheep, goats, and swine.

Black Nightshade is a low-branching annual, 1 to 2 tall with triangular stems that bear oval, thin-textured, alternate leaves with wavy margins. The tiny white flowers, borne in drooping clusters on lateral stalks between the leaves, resemble tomato flowers. The berry fruit is green when immature, purplish-black when ripe. 

Herbicidal activity on several weeds, such as hairy beggarsticks, black nightshade, and knotweed, was reported in 2004 for a series of 2,4,5-imidazolidine triketones, such as compound 92 [100] (Fig. 3.25). 

The berries of the black nightshade plant Solanum nigrum) are a source of the poisonous alkaloid solanine. 

They can spoil the quality of a crop and so lower its value, e.g. wild oats in seed wheat, black nightshade berries in vining peas.
