I wondered about the corollary - at what point does selective pressure create a weed that's indistinguishable from a crop?

I wondered about the corollary - at what point does selective pressure create a weed that's indistinguishable from a crop?
- marcus_holmes 6y agowell, same, do we have weeds that have evolved resistance to roundup?
- intergalplan 6y agoI doubt weeds will be able to maintain advantages that let them compete well to begin with, while also evolving to evade all of a series of detection techniques that will be added as they evolve their way around the first few. To stick around they need to survive well outside of fields, too, and I'd expect detection-resistant varieties to become increasingly inefficient at surviving in areas where they're not being lasered to death.
