Changes in leaf anatomy were examined in suspectedly resistant populations of Conyza canadensis and Conyza bonariensis after application of 2, 4 and 8 L/ha of the product Touch down (500 g a.i. glyphosate/L). Samples for the analysis (LM, TEM) were collected 3, 7 and 24 h after herbicide application. Changes in chlorophyll and shikimic acid contents were also examined in the population tested. Changes in the anatomy of leaves were not detected in the investigated populations 3 and 7 h after herbicide application. However, 24 h after application of different herbicide rates, differences were observed in leaf anatomy. Injuries were detected in Conyza bonariensis population after application of 2 L/ha, and in Conyza canadensis population after treatment with the highest glyphosate rate (8 L/ha). Changes were detected on cell walls, chloroplast lamellae and chloroplasts themselves. Based on chlorophyll and shikimic acid contents, significant statistical differences were detected between the treated and control plants.
