Chemical FamilyExample HerbicideResistance Level
ImidazolinonesImazethapyr Not Determined

NOTE

The Molin et al. 2016 paper reported this mutation in Palmer amaranth but it was not characterized. 

Berger et al. 2016 also identified but did not characterize this mutation. 

The mutation was also identified by Larran et al. 2017, but was present within a segregating population, so the conferred levels of resistance to the different chemical families are unknown. 

Mutation also identified by Singh et al. 2018, but present in plant that also had Trp574Leu.
