The article reports that according to a study, use of a common agricultural herbicide is driving evolution of at least one weed species. In response to applications containing glyphosate, the tall morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea) grows increasingly impervious to that chemical, while sacrificing a measure of its fertility. To investigate the ecological consequences of glyphosate use, geneticists Regina Baucom and Rodney Mauricio of the University of Georgia in Athens examined offspring of 32 tall morning glories that had sprouted uninvited in a Georgia soybean field. On the basis of the number of seeds each plant produced when exposed to the herbicide, the researchers conclude that the plants inherited varying degrees of tolerance for glyphosate. The case for an evolutionary trade-off would be more airtight if the researchers had tried germinating seeds rather than just counting those that looked viable. Nevertheless, the new study underscores a message that weed scientists have been saying for years: Growers must not rely exclusively on a single herbicide.
