News Adaptation to environmental change is necessary in all organisms, especially in sessile organisms such as plants. Increased gene expression is one of the core stress responses, but there can be limits to how much can be transcribed from a single locus. The obvious solution to this problem is to duplicate the needed genes, but how can this be achieved within a generation? Gene amplification through extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) is one form of genome plasticity capable of driving this process (Peng et al. 2022). These circular molecules have been observed in all kinds of eukaryote cells, where they can vary in size and genetic content. In plants, most eccDNA contain repetitive sequences, intergenic regions, and genic fragments, but it is rare to find full endogenous protein-coding genes. A well-known exception is a 400-kb eccDNA initially found in the crop weed Amaranthus palmeri, which carries 59 protein-coding genes, including the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), target of the herbicide glyphosate (Koo et al. 2018). Remarkably, the increased gene copy number of EPSPS on the eccDNA molecules confers herbicide resistance.The sequence, structure, copy number, and form of inheritance of the EPSPS replicon were previously investigated through fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)(Koo et al. 2018). The EPSPS-FISH signals showed that this important herbicide resistance gene was not integrated in the genome but presented as extrachromosomal elements, yet they anchored to the chromosomes during metaphase. In somatic cells, there were up to 80 copies of the replicon, and they were able to be transmitted to the progeny via chromosome tethering. Crossing sensitive and resistant A. palmeri plants showed that the replicon was inherited by most offspring,
