I'm not real sure why anyone is surprised about the Roundup-resistant weeds.
Plant genes which are incorporated into bacterial plasmids are taken up by other plants. It's one of the means by which plants evolve. This isn't news; people have known about it for many decades.
Moreover, as soon as they genetically modified crops to resist glyphosate, biologists said: "You want Roundup-resistant weeds? Because this is how you get Roundup-resistant weeds."
About the only thing they got wrong is that it didn't take as long as predicted.

"The state's largest peach farm, which lies near soybean-and-cotton country, has suffered massive and potentially permanent damage this year—and suspects dicamba drift as the culprit, reports the St."
'The plan is off to a rough start—which brings us back to those drooping crops in soybean and cotton country. '
'The trouble appears to stem from decisions made by the Missouri-based seed and pesticide giant Monsanto. '
'Back in April, the company bet big on dicamba, announcing a $975 million expansion of its production facility in Luling, Louisiana. '
'Complaints of drooping and often dead crops appeared in no fewer than 10 states, the EPA reports. '
