Weeds, as a unique group of stress tolerators, have evolved traits that enable them to rapidly adapt to harsh environments. Studying weeds can provide insights into weed management and crop improvement by gaining a deeper understanding of their mechanisms, adaptations, and genetic and physiological bases for stress tolerance.
Weeds, plants that thrive in the face of disturbance, have eluded human's attempts at control for >12 000 years, positioning them as a unique group of extreme stress tolerators. The most successful weeds have a suite of traits that enable them to rapidly adapt to environments typified by stress, growing in hostile conditions or subject to massive destruction from agricultural practices. Through their ability to persist and adapt, weeds illuminate principles of evolution and provide insights into weed management and crop improvement. Here we highlight why the time is right to move beyond traditional model systems and leverage weeds to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms, adaptations, and genetic and physiological bases for stress tolerance.
