Herbicide-resistant plants are one of the most common plants that comprise the majority of the total population of transgenic plants. Glyphosate is an herbicide that controls a wide range of plant species. Position of these herbicides reaction is 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) that only exists in plants and some bacteria. This herbicide was known to be suitable and safe for the environment. However, it can also damage crops in farming systems, therefore, it is used before planting. Today, using genetic engineering techniques, the herbicide-resistant gene was isolated and transferred to different crops. The cultivation of herbicide-resistant crops to is increasing. This study, is a review on studies about herbicide-resistant crops.

Keywords: Biosafety, Glyphosate, Mutagenesis, Weeds, Transgenic Plants.
