Seed protein biotyping in Amaranthus species: a tool for rapid identification of weedy amaranths of concern.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Amaranthus genus contains at least 20 weedy and invasive species, including Amaranthus palmeri (palmer's amaranth) and Amaranthus tuberculatus (tall waterhemp), two species of regulatory concern in North America, impacting production and yield in crops like corn, soybean and cotton. Amaranthus tuberculatus is regulated in Canada with limited establishment, while current climate models predict a range expansion of A. palmeri impacting crop growing areas in Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba. Since many Amaranthus species are similar in their morphology, especially at the seed stage, this demands the development of additional methods that can efficiently aid in the detection and identification of these species.
