Societal Impact StatementThe dispersal of alien species is tightly coupled to human activities such as trade and transport. Trade is known to spread troublesome weeds from countries exporting, to those importing, grain. Glyphosate resistant (GR)Amaranthus palmeriis one of the most problematic weeds in the US, which is the largest grain exporter to Japan. We demonstrate that GRA. palmerihas become established in a Japanese port in less than 10 years from the first report of GRA. palmeriin the US. The initial detection of alien species is critical to enable effective control measures to be undertaken, before problematic species are able to spread more widely.SummaryThe US is the largest source to Japan of crops genetically modified to be glyphosate resistant (GR). The intensive use of glyphosate in the US has led to the evolution of GRAmaranthus palmeri, one of the most problematic weeds in the US. Here, we investigated the initial invasion and establishment of GRA. palmeriat grain‐importing ports in Japan.The primary glyphosate resistance mechanism is a copy‐number amplification of the 297‐kb region containing the herbicide target site gene5‐enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐phosphate synthase(EPSPS). We used quantitative PCR to measure theEPSPSgenomic copy number and used PCR to confirm the presence of the other amplified region. We used microsatellite marker analysis to compare the genetic similarities between Japanese populations and US accessions.We detected GRA. palmeriat three ports: although present as a casual plant at two of the three ports, GR populations were established at one of the ports investigated. The port populations were found to be genetically similar to the US accessions and showed no geographical genetic structure.This study shows that GRA. palmerihas naturalized in Japan in less than 10 years from the first report of GRA. palmeriin the US.
