Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to kits for identifying herbicide resistant plants and methods for determining whether a plant is herbicide resistant. The methods are based on the discovery that some genes are over-expressed or under-expressed in herbicide resistant plants when compared to herbicide-sensitive plants prior to application of the herbicide. The methods include determining the expression level of the one or more genes of interest in a biological sample, such as via qRT PCR, and determining whether the biological sample is from an herbicide-resistant plant based on the expression level. In an embodiment, the kit and methods are used to identify glyphosate-resistant Ambrosia trifida. The kits and methods can be used to improve crop management strategies.

Abstract: The invention relates to new polymerizable, luminescent compounds of formula I wherein R1, R2, Q and L1 have the meanings given in claim 1. Furthermore the invention relates to polymerizable mixtures containing compounds according to the invention and preferably at least one polymerizable mesogenic compound. Polymer materials obtainable by polymerizing such mixtures are also described. These compounds, mixtures and materials show advantageous photoluminescent and/or electroluminescent properties and may be used in light emitting devices and optical- or electrooptical display elements.
