Investigation of Imidazolinone Herbicide Resistance Gene with KASP Markers for Japonica/ Geng Rice Varieties in the Huanghuaihai Region of China. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:1097. [PMID: 38674507 PMCID: PMC11053791 DOI: 10.3390/plants13081097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Rice is a staple food for more than half of the global population due to its food security and sustainable development. Weeds compete with crops for sunlight and indispensable nutrients, affecting the yield and quality of crops. Breeding herbicide-tolerant rice varieties paired with herbicide application is expected to help with weed control. In this study, 194 Japonica/Geng rice varieties or lines collected from the Huanghuaihai region of China were screened by Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) markers based on four mutation sites within OsALS1 (LOC_Os02g30630), which is the target of imidazolinone (IMI) herbicides. Only the OsALS1627N haplotype was identified in 18 varieties, including the previously reported Jingeng818 (JG818), and its herbicide resistance was validated by treatment with three IMIs. To investigate the origin of the OsALS1627N haplotype in the identified varieties, six codominant PCR-based markers tightly linked with OsALS1 were developed. PCR analysis revealed that the other 17 IMI-tolerant varieties were derived from JG818. We randomly selected three IMI-tolerant varieties for comparative whole-genome resequencing with known receptor parent varieties. Sequence alignment revealed that more loci from JG818 have been introduced into IMI-tolerant varieties. However, all three IMI-tolerant varieties carried clustered third type single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites from unknown parents, indicating that these varieties were not directly derived from JG818, whereas those from different intermediate improved lines were crossed with JG818. Overall, we found that only OsALS1627N from JG818 has been broadly introduced into the Huanghuaihai region of China. Additionally, the 17 identified IMI-tolerant varieties provide alternative opportunities for improving such varieties along with other good traits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is the most damaging broadleaf weed in France. Massively parallel amplicon sequencing was used to investigate the prevalence, mode of evolution and spread of resistance-endowing ALS alleles in 422 populations randomly sampled throughout poppy's range in France. Bioassays were used to detect resistance to the synthetic auxin 2,4-D in 43 of these populations. RESULTS A total of 21 100 plants were analysed and 24 mutant ALS alleles carrying an amino-acid substitution involved or potentially involved in resistance were identified. The vast majority (97.6%) of the substitutions occurred at codon Pro197, where all six possible single-nucleotide non-synonymous substitutions plus four double-nucleotide substitutions were identified. Changes observed in the enzymatic properties of the mutant ALS isoforms could not explain the differences in prevalence among the corresponding alleles. Sequence read analysis showed that mutant ALS alleles had multiple, independent evolutionary origins, and could have evolved several times independently within an area of a few kilometres. Finally, 2,4-D resistance was associated with mutant ALS alleles in individual plants in one third of the populations assayed. CONCLUSION The intricate geographical mosaic of mutant ALS alleles observed is the likely result of the combination of huge population sizes, multiple independent mutation events and human-mediated spread of resistance. Our work highlights the ability of poppy populations and individual plants to accumulate different ALS alleles and as yet unknown mechanisms conferring resistance to synthetic auxins. This does not bode well for the continued use of chemical herbicides to control poppy. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Echinochloa phyllopogon, a malignant weed in Northeast China's paddy fields, is currently presenting escalating resistance concerns. Our study centered on the HJHL-715 E. phyllopogon population, which showed heightened resistance to penoxsulam, through a whole-plant bioassay. Pretreatment with a P450 inhibitor malathion significantly increased penoxsulam sensitivity in resistant plants. In order to determine the resistance mechanism of the resistant population, we purified the resistant population from individual plants and isolated target-site resistance (TSR) and nontarget-site resistance (NTSR) materials. Pro-197-Thr and Trp-574-Leu mutations in acetolactate synthase (ALS) 1 and ALS2 of the resistant population drove reduced sensitivity of penoxsulam to the target-site ALS, the primary resistance mechanisms. To fully understand the NTSR mechanism, NTSR materials were investigated by using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) combined with a reference genome. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) analysis further supported the enhanced penoxsulam metabolism in NTSR materials. Gene expression data and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) validation confirmed 29 overexpressed genes under penoxsulam treatment, with 16 genes concurrently upregulated with quinclorac and metamifop treatment. Overall, our study confirmed coexisting TSR and NTSR mechanisms in E. phyllopogon's resistance to ALS inhibitors.

Comparison of Biological and Genetic Characteristics between Two Most Common Broad-Leaved Weeds in Paddy Fields: Ammannia arenaria and A. multiflora (Lythraceae). BIOLOGY 2023; 12:936.

Abstract
Ammannia arenaria and A. multifloras, morphologically similar at the seedling stage, are the most common broad-leaved weeds in paddy fields. Our study showed that A. arenaria occupied more space than A. multifloras when competing with rice. However, A. multifloras germination has lower temperature adaptability. No difference in sensitivity to common herbicides between two Ammannia species was observed. Chloroplast (cp) genomes could be conducive to clarify their genetic relationship. The complete cp genome sequences of A. arenaria (158,401 bp) and A. multiflora (157,900 bp) were assembled for the first time. In A. arenaria, there were 91 simple sequence repeats, 115 long repeats, and 86 protein-encoding genes, one, sixteen, and thirty more than those in A. multiflora. Inverted repeats regions expansion and contraction and the phylogenetic tree based on cp genomes demonstrated the closely relationship between the two species. However, in A. arenaria, 20 single nucleotide polymorphisms in the CDS region were detected compared to A. multiflora, which can be used to distinguish the two species. Moreover, there was one unique gene, infA, only in A. arenaria. This study provides reliable molecular resources for future research focusing on the infrageneric taxa identification, phylogenetic resolution, population structure, and biodiversity of Ammannia species.

Abstract
Weed resistance to acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) inhibiting herbicides has been a critical issue for rice growers worldwide since the early 1990's. In California, resistance to bensulfuron-methyl was first detected in Cyperus difformis in 1993. Since then, populations of most major weeds of rice in California have been reported to show resistance to at least one AHAS inhibitor. We sought to describe the magnitude and mechanisms of AHAS inhibitor cross-resistance in California populations of C. difformis. Sixty-two populations were collected and screened for cross-resistance to bensulfuron-methyl (BEN), halosulfuron-methyl (HAL), bispyribac‑sodium (BIS), and penoxsulam (PEN), revealing six major patterns of cross-resistance. Representative C. difformis populations from each cross-resistance pattern were then subjected to dose-response, cytochrome P450 inhibition, AHAS gene sequencing, and metabolic studies with the same herbicides as in the screening. Dose-response confirmed the detected resistances in the representative populations, and suggested that the majority of observed resistance was dose-dependent. Cytochrome P450 inhibition via malathion revealed evidence of increased metabolic activity in resistant populations to BEN, BIS, and PEN. AHAS gene sequencing revealed amino acid substitutions in five of six populations: R3 (Pro197-Ser), R4 (Pro97-His), R10 (Asp376), R41 (Ala122-Asn), and R18 (Trp574-Leu). Metabolic studies confirmed evidence of increased activity of cytochrome P450s in all populations. Metabolic BEN and HAL analysis did not yield similar results to malathion inhibition, suggesting different P450's or other pathways. Taken together, the results of the studies confirm the complexity of AHAS inhibitor cross-resistance in C. difformis, and the presence of both target-site and metabolic resistance in most of the representative populations underscores the importance of proper herbicide selection, rotation, and scouting in fields.

Abstract
Echinochloa phyllopogon is a self-pollinating allotetraploid weed and a serious threat to global rice production. One sensitive and three multiple-resistant populations collected from two provinces of Northeast China were used to analyze the mechanism of multiple resistance of E. phyllopogon to penoxsulam, metamifop, and quinclorac. Compared with the sensitive population LN12, LN1 showed higher resistance to these three herbicides; LN24 showed medium resistance to penoxsulam and metamifop and higher resistance to quinclorac (274-fold); HLJ4 showed low resistance to penoxsulam and high resistance to metamifop and quinclorac. Target sequence analysis showed no mutations in acetolactate synthase or acetyl-CoA carboxylase genes. In-vitro enzyme activity analysis showed that the activity of the target enzyme of multiple herbicide-resistant populations was similar to that of the sensitive population. The P450 inhibitor, malathion, noticeably increased the sensitivity of LN1, LN24, and HLJ4 to penoxsulam, LN1 to metamifop, and HLJ4 to quinclorac. Under all four treatments, the GSTs activities of resistant and sensitive populations showed an increasing trend from day 1 to day 5, but the sensitivity and activity of GSTs were higher in the multiple-resistant population than that in the sensitive population LN12. This study identified the development of multiple-resistant E. phyllopogon populations that pose a serious threat to rice production in rice fields in Northeast China, preliminarily confirming that multiple-resistance was likely due to non-target-site resistance mechanisms. These populations of E. phyllopogon are likely to be more difficult to control.

Enhanced Herbicide Metabolism and Target-Site Mutations Confer Multiple Resistance to Fomesafen and Nicosulfuron in Amaranthus retroflexus L. BIOLOGY 2023; 12:biology12040592.

Abstract
Amaranthus retroflexus L. is a highly competitive broadleaf weed of corn-soybean rotation in northeastern China. In recent years, the herbicide(s) resistance evolution has been threatening its effective management in crop fields. One resistant A. retroflexus (HW-01) population that survived the protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitor fomesafen and acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor nicosulfuron applied at their field-recommended rate was collected from a soybean field in Wudalianchi City, Heilongjiang Province. This study aimed to investigate the resistance mechanisms of fomesafen and nicosulfuron and determine the resistance profile of HW-01 to other herbicides. Whole plant dose-response bioassays revealed that HW-01 had evolved resistance to fomesafen (50.7-fold) and nicosulfuron (5.2-fold). Gene sequencing showed that the HW-01 population has a mutation in PPX2 (Arg-128-Gly) and a rare mutation in ALS (Ala-205-Val, eight/twenty mutations/total plants). In vitro enzyme activity assays showed that ALS extracted from the HW-01 plants was less sensitive to nicosulfuron (3.2-fold) than ST-1 plants. Pre-treatment with the cytochrome P450 inhibitors malathion, piperonyl butoxide (PBO), 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (amitrole), and the GSTs inhibitor 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Cl) significantly increased fomesafen and nicosulfuron sensitivity in the HW-01 population compared with that of the sensitive (S) population ST-1. Moreover, the rapid fomesafen and nicosulfuron metabolism in the HW-01 plants was also confirmed via HPLC-MS/MS analysis. Furthermore, the HW-01 population showed multiple resistance (MR) to PPO, ALS, and PSII inhibitors, with resistance index (RI) values ranging from 3.8 to 9.6. This study confirmed MR to PPO-, ALS-, and PSII-inhibiting herbicides in the A. retroflexus population HW-01, as well as confirming that the cytochrome P450- and GST-based herbicide metabolic along with TSR mechanisms contribute to their multiple resistance to fomesafen and nicosulfuron.

Abstract
Myosoton aquaticum L. is a competitive broadleaf weed commonly found in wheat fields in China and has become challenging due to its evolving herbicide resistance. In this study, one subpopulation, RF1 (derived from the tribenuron-methyl-resistant population HN10), with none of the known acetolactate synthase (ALS) resistance mutations was confirmed to exhibit resistance to tribenuron-methyl (SU), pyrithiobac‑sodium (PTB), florasulam (TP), flucarbazone-Na (SCT), and diflufenican (PDS). In vitro ALS activity assays showed that the total ALS activity of RF1 was lower than that of the susceptible (S) population. However, there was no difference in ALS gene expression induced by tribenuron-methyl between the two populations. The combination of the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450) inhibitor malathion and tribenuron-methyl resulted in the RF1 population behaving like the S population. The rapid P450-mediated tribenuron-methyl metabolism in RF1 plants was also confirmed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. In addition, approximately equal glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity was observed in RF1 and S plants of untreated and tribenuron-methyl treated groups. This study reported one M. aquaticum L. population without ALS resistance mutations exhibiting resistance to ALS inhibitors and the PDS inhibitor diflufenican, and the non-target-site resistance mechanism played a vital role in herbicide resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Descurainia sophia L. is one of the most notorious weeds infesting winter wheat in China. Mutations at Pro197 in acetolactate synthase (ALS) results in resistance of D. sophia to tribenuron-methyl and cross-resistance to many ALS inhibitors. Negative cross-resistance to imazethapyr was observed in tribenuron-methyl-resistant (TR) D. sophia with the Pro197Ser mutation in a previous study. In the present research, another TR D. sophia with the Pro197Ser mutation was obtained. To explore the mechanisms of negative cross-resistance, the ALS sensitivity, the absorption and metabolism of imazethapyr in tribenuron-methyl-susceptible (TS) and TR D. sophia were studied. RESULTS The TR D. sophia population with the Pro197Ser mutation (pHB23) displayed negative cross-resistance to imazethapyr and no cross-resistance to imazamox and imazapic. In contrast, TR D. sophia populations with other Pro197 mutations had no or low resistance to imazethapyr. The ALS in the pHB23 population was more susceptible to imazethapyr than that in the TS population. There was no difference in the absorption of imazethapyr, imazamox, and imazapic between TS and pHB23 plants. However, the metabolism of imazethapyr in TS D. sophia was faster than that in pHB23 plants up to 1 week after treatment. There was no significant difference in the metabolism of imazamox and imazapic between TS and pHB23 plants. CONCLUSION The TR D. sophia population with the Pro197Ser mutation exhibited negative cross-resistance to imazethapyr, which was likely due to reduced metabolism and increased sensitivity of ALS to imazethapyr. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson, a problematic weed infesting summer crops in Argentina, has developed multiple herbicide resistance. Resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides is particularly common, with high-level resistance mostly caused by different mutations in the ALS enzyme. Six versions of the enzyme were identified from a resistant A. palmeri population, carrying substitutions D376E, A205V, A122S, A282D, W574L and S653N. This work aims to provide a comparative analysis of these mutants and the wild-type (WT) enzyme to fully understand the herbicide resistance. Thus, all the versions of the ALS gene from A. palmeri were heterologously expressed and purified to evaluate their kinetics and inhibitory response against imazethapyr, diclosulam, chlorimuron-ethyl, flucarbazone-sodium and bispyribac-sodium. RESULTS A decrease in catalytic efficiency was detected in the A205V, A122S-A282D, W574L and S653N ApALS enzymes, whereas only A205V and W574L substitutions also produced a decrease in the substrate affinity. In vitro ALS inhibition assays confirmed cross-resistance to almost all the herbicides tested, with the exception of A282D ApALS, which was as susceptible as WT ApALS. Moreover, the results confirmed that the novel substitution A122S provides cross-resistance to at least one herbicide within each of the five families of ALS inhibitors, and this property could be explained by a lower number of hydrophobic interactions between the herbicides and the mutant enzyme. CONCLUSION This is the first report to compare various mutations in vitro from A. palmeri ALS. Our data contribute to understanding the impacts of herbicide resistance in this species. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Target-Site Mutations and Expression of ALS Gene Copies Vary According to Echinochloa Species. Genes (Basel) 2021; 12:genes12111841. [PMID: 34828447 PMCID: PMC8624184 DOI: 10.3390/genes12111841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2021] [Revised: 10/11/2021] [Accepted: 11/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
The sustainability of rice cropping systems is jeopardized by the large number and variety of populations of polyploid Echinochloa spp. resistant to ALS inhibitors. Better knowledge of the Echinochloa species present in Italian rice fields and the study of ALS genes involved in target-site resistance could significantly contribute to a better understanding of resistance evolution and management. Using a CAPS-rbcL molecular marker, two species, E. crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv. and E. oryzicola (Vasinger) Vasing., were identified as the most common species in rice in Italy. Mutations involved in ALS inhibitor resistance in the different species were identified and associated with the ALS homoeologs. The relative expression of the ALS gene copies was evaluated. Molecular characterization led to the identification of three ALS genes in E. crus-galli and two in E. oryzicola. The two species also carried different point mutations conferring resistance: Ala122Asn in E. crus-galli and Trp574Leu in E. oryzicola. Mutations were carried in the same gene copy (ALS1), which was significantly more expressed than the other copies (ALS2 and ALS3) in both species. These results explain the high resistance level of these populations and why mutations in the other ALS copies are not involved in herbicide resistance.

Abstract
Rapeseed is one of the world's most important sources of oilseed crops. Single nucleotide substitution is the basis of most genetic variation underpinning important agronomic traits. Therefore, genome-wide and target-specific base editing will greatly facilitate precision plant molecular breeding. In this study, four CBE systems (BnPBE, BnA3A-PBE, BnA3A1-PBE, and BnPBGE14) were modified to achieve cytidine base editing at five target genes in rapeseed. The results indicated that genome editing is achievable in three CBEs systems, among which BnA3A1-PBE had the highest base-editing efficiency (average 29.8% and up to 50.5%) compared to all previous CBEs reported in rapeseed. The editing efficiency of BnA3A1-PBE is ~8.0% and fourfold higher, than those of BnA3A-PBE (averaging 27.6%) and BnPBE (averaging 6.5%), respectively. Moreover, BnA3A1-PBE and BnA3A-PBE could significantly increase the proportion of both the homozygous and biallelic genotypes, and also broaden the editing window compared to BnPBE. The cytidine substitution which occurred at the target sites of both BnaA06.RGA and BnaALS were stably inherited and conferred expected gain-of-function phenotype in the T1 generation (i.e., dwarf phenotype or herbicide resistance for weed control, respectively). Moreover, new alleles or epialleles with expected phenotype were also produced, which served as an important resource for crop improvement. Thus, the improved CBE system in the present study, BnA3A1-PBE, represents a powerful base editor for both gene function studies and molecular breeding in rapeseed.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2021; 77:4583-4592. [PMID: 34087037 DOI: 10.1002/ps.6498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2021] [Revised: 05/25/2021] [Accepted: 06/04/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Wheat growers have limited herbicide options to manage Aegilops cylindrica Host (jointed goatgrass), with many relying on mesosulfuron or imazamox in Clearfield™ winter wheat. Both imazamox and mesosulfuron inhibit acetohydroxyacid synthase/acetolactate synthase (AHAS/ALS). In 2015, a suspected imazamox resistant biotype of Ae. cylindrica was found in eastern Washington. RESULTS Imazamox and mesosulfuron were applied to the suspected resistant and susceptible Ae. cylindrica biotypes in increasing application rates to evaluate herbicide dose needed to cause 50% growth reduction (GR50 ). The imazamox resistant biotype had a GR50 of 308.5 g ai ha-1 and was more than 5000 times more resistant to imazamox than a known susceptible biotype with a GR50 of 0.06 g ai ha-1 . The Ae. cylindrica resistant biotype was also resistant to mesosulfuron, with an GR50 of 46.82 g ai ha-1 , which was five times more than the susceptible GR50 of 8.6 g ai ha-1 . Sequencing of the AHAS/ALS gene revealed an Ala122 Thr substitution in the herbicide binding region of the AHAS/ALS gene on the D genome of Ae. cylindrica. The resistance trait was inherited as a dominant trait, and the Ala122 Thr co-segregates with the resistance phenotype. CONCLUSIONS An Ala122 Thr substitution in the AHAS/ALS gene on the D genome of Ae. cylindrica confers resistance to imazamox in Ae. cylindrica. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exploring the mechanisms of herbicide resistance in weeds is an important part of designing resistance management strategies and rationalizing herbicide use. Beckmannia syzigachne is one of the most important agricultural weeds in China. Long-term use of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides has led to the evolution of herbicide resistance in B. syzigachne. ACCase-inhibiting herbicides comprise three chemical families: aryloxyphenoxypropionates (APPs), cyclohexanediones (CHDs) and phenylpyraxoline (DENs). RESULTS Based on whole-plant dose-response experiments, a B. syzigachne population (BS-R) was confirmed to be 12- and 20-fold resistant to the APP herbicides quizalofop-P-ethyl and clodinafop-propargyl, and 2.2-, 2.8- and 2.8-fold resistant to fenoxaprop-P-ethyl, the CHD herbicide sethoxydim and the PPZ herbicide pinoxaden, respectively, compared with its susceptible counterpart (BS-S). Resistance to clodinafop-propargyl in the BS-R population could not be reversed by the known cytochrome P450 (CYP450) inhibitor malathion and the glutathione S-transferase (GST) inhibitor 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzoxadiazole. In addition, no difference in CYP450 and GST activity was confirmed between the BS-R and BS-S populations. ACCase gene sequencing revealed an Ile-2041-Val mutation in the BS-R population. A derived cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence marker was developed for rapid detection of the specific Ile-2041-Val mutation. Correlation quantification of resistance in homo- and hetero-resistant versus wild-type plants showed that resistance to clodinafop-propargyl in this population is conferred by the Ile-2041-Val mutation. CONCLUSION Unlike previous reports on the unique cross-resistance pattern conferred by the 2041 mutation, this study demonstrates that the Ile-2041-Val mutation in BS-R population confers resistance to certain ACCase-inhibiting APP, CHD and PPZ herbicides in B. syzigachne. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies offer tremendous possibilities for high-throughput pesticide resistance diagnosis via massive genotyping-by-sequencing. Herein, we used Illumina sequencing combined with a simple, non-commercial bioinformatics pipe-line to seek mutations involved in herbicide resistance in two weeds. RESULTS DNA was extracted from 96 pools of 50 plants for each species. Three amplicons encompassing 15 ALS (acetolactate-synthase) codons crucial for herbicide resistance were amplified from each DNA extract. Above 18 and 20 million quality 250-nucleotide sequence reads were obtained for groundsel (Senecio vulgaris, tetraploid) and ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia, diploid), respectively. Herbicide resistance-endowing mutations were identified in 45 groundsel and in eight ragweed field populations. The mutations detected and their frequencies assessed by NGS were checked by individual plant genotyping or Sanger sequencing. NGS results were fully confirmed, except in three instances out of 12 where mutations present at a frequency of 1% were detected below the threshold set for reliable mutation detection. CONCLUSION Analyzing 9600 plants requested 192 DNA extractions followed by 1728 PCRs and two Illumina runs. Equivalent results obtained by individual analysis would have necessitated 9600 individual DNA extractions followed by 216 000 genotyping PCRs, or by 121 500 PCRs and 40 500 Sanger sequence runs. This clearly demonstrates the interest and power of NGS-based detection of pesticide resistance from pools of individuals for diagnosing resistance in massive numbers of individuals. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Euphorbia heterophylla is a weed species that invades extensive crop areas in subtropical regions of Brazil. This species was previously controlled by imazamox, but the continuous use of this herbicide has selected for resistant biotypes. Two biotypes of E. heterophylla from southern Brazil, one resistant (R) and one susceptible (S) to imazamox, were compared. The resistance of the R biotype was confirmed by dose-response assays since it required 1250.2 g ai ha-1 to reduce the fresh weight by 50% versus 7.4 g ai ha-1 for the S biotype. The acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme activity was studied using ALS-inhibiting herbicides from five different chemical families. The R biotype required the highest concentrations to reduce this enzyme activity by 50%. A Ser653Asn mutation was found in the ALS gene of the R biotype. The experiments carried out showed that imazamox absorption and metabolism were not involved in resistance. However, greater 14C-imazamox root exudation was found in the R biotype (~70% of the total absorbed imazamox). Target site mutation in the ALS gene is the principal mechanism that explains the imazamox resistance of the R biotype, but root exudation seems to also contribute to the resistance of this biotype.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important crop in Australian farming systems, however, weed control is a major constraint due to a lack of in-crop broadleaf herbicide options. To address this, we developed acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) inhibitor herbicide tolerance in faba bean using mutagenesis techniques. Dose-response experiments, agronomic field evaluation and DNA sequencing of the AHAS gene were used to quantify and validate tolerance traits. RESULTS Four M2 faba bean single-plant biotypes (IMI-1, IMI-2, IMI-3 and IMI-4) at a frequency of 3.63 × 10-6 were successfully recovered. Molecular characterisation of the AHAS gene identified two known target site mutations (resulting in protein substitutions Ala205Val and Ser653Asn) conferring tolerance. Phenotypic characterisation found that both mutations conferred high levels of tolerance to the imidazolinone herbicide imazapyr. However, although the Ala205Val substitution showed improved levels of cross-tolerance to a range of sulfonylurea chemistries, the Ser653Asn substitution did not. In the field, IMI-3 showed the highest level of agronomic tolerance across a range of imidazolinone herbicides. CONCLUSIONS Mutagenesis techniques were successful in the development of tolerance to AHAS inhibitor herbicides in faba bean, and could facilitate the first safe in-crop broadleaf herbicide control option in Australian faba bean production. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Capsella bursa-pastoris is a serious broadleaf weed in winter wheat fields in China. It has evolved high levels of resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibiting herbicides and has caused substantial losses of wheat yield in recent years. We monitored the herbicide resistance of Capsella bursa-pastoris collected from 18 regions of Shandong Province in 2009, 2013 and 2017, respectively. Compared with the 2009 populations, the number of populations resistant to florasulam had increased in 2013 and 2017. Resistance to tribenuron-methyl increased in 2013, but decreased in 2017. The 2009 and 2013 populations developed resistance only to tribenuron-methyl, but some 2017 populations developed cross-resistance to imazethapyr and florasulam as well. Mutations in ALS (Pro-197-Thr/Ser/His/Arg/Leu/Gln) were identified in the 2009 and 2013 populations; however, two ALS mutations (Pro197 and/or Trp574) were identified in 2017 plants. Meanwhile, plants containing both point mutations (Pro197 + Trp574) were identified in the 2017 populations. This study demonstrated that target site gene mutations were the main reason for Capsella bursa-pastoris resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides. Although target-site mutation is the reason for resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides in Capsella bursa-pastoris, the resistance patterns and mutations identified have changed over time.

Abstract
Lithospermum arvense is a troublesome dicotyledonous winter annual weed of wheat in China. A L. arvense population (HN01) suspected of being resistant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors was found in Henan Province, China. This study aimed to testify the sensitivity of this HN01 population to eight herbicides from 3 different modes of action, and to explore the potential target-site-resistance mechanism to tribenuron-methyl. The whole-plant bioassays indicated that the population was highly resistant to tribenuron-methyl (SU, 350-fold), pyrithiobac sodium (PTB, 151-fold), pyroxsulam (TP, 62.7-fold), florasulam (TP, 80.6-fold), and imazethapyr (IMI, 136-fold), but was sensitive to carfentrazone-ethyl and fluroxypyr-meptyl. ALS gene sequencing revealed that the Trp (TGG) was substituted by Leu (TTG) at codon 574 in resistant plants. In in vitro ALS assays, the concentration of tribenuron-methyl required to inhibit 50% ALS activity (I50) for HN01 was 117-fold greater than that required to inhibit a susceptible population (HN05), indicating that resistance was due to reduced sensitivity of the ALS enzyme to tribenuron-methyl. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of ALS gene Trp-574-Leu amino acid mutation confer resistance to tribenuron-methyl in L. arvense.

Baucom RS. Evolutionary and ecological insights from herbicide-resistant weeds: what have we learned about plant adaptation, and what is left to uncover? THE NEW PHYTOLOGIST 2019; 223:68-82.

Abstract
The evolution of herbicide resistance in crop weeds presents one of the greatest challenges to agriculture and the production of food. Herbicide resistance has been studied for more than 60 yr, in the large part by researchers seeking to design effective weed control programs. As an outcome of this work, various unique questions in plant adaptation have been addressed. Here, I collate recent research on the herbicide-resistant problem in light of key questions and themes in evolution and ecology. I highlight discoveries made on herbicide-resistant weeds in three broad areas - the genetic basis of adaptation, evolutionary constraints, experimental evolution - and similarly discuss questions left to be answered. I then develop how one would use herbicide-resistance evolution as a model for studying eco-evolutionary dynamics within a community context. My overall goals are to highlight important findings in the weed science literature that are relevant to themes in plant adaptation and to stimulate the use of herbicide-resistant plants as models for addressing key questions within ecology and evolution.

Abstract
Acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor-resistant biotypes are the fastest growing class of herbicide-resistant weeds. Shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik.), a tetraploid species and one of the most troublesome weeds in wheat production, has evolved ALS inhibitor resistance. To confirm and characterize the resistance of shepherd's purse populations to ALS-inhibiting herbicides, whole-plant bioassays were conducted. To investigate the molecular basis of resistance in shepherd's purse, the ALS gene was sequenced and compared between susceptible (S) and resistant (R) biotypes. Two partial intronless ALS genes (ALS-1 and ALS-2) were identified, and two heterozygous mutations (CCT to TCT in ALS-1 and CCT to CAT in ALS-2) at position 197 (Pro197Ser and Pro197His) providing resistance were simultaneously found in a single plant in a resistant population. Our results confirmed that the resistant shepherd's purse population showed high-level resistance to tribenuron-methyl (RI = 59.8), pyroxsulam (RI = 38.7) and flucarbazone-Na (RI = 88.0). Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) results suggested that the difference in ALS gene expression was small between S and R populations, which may be insufficient to cause herbicide resistance, and according to the results of in vitro ALS activity, insensitivity of ALS may be the main mechanism of high resistance to tribenuron-methyl in resistant populations.

Abstract
Tausch's goatgrass (Aegilops tauschii Coss.) is one of the most troublesome weeds in winter wheat-growing regions of China. In recent years, the recommended field rate of mesosulfuron-methyl failed to control the Tausch's goatgrass population in Shanxi province (SX), China. Experiments were conducted to characterize the herbicide resistance level and investigate the basis of mesosulfuron-methyl resistance in Tausch's goatgrass. Whole-plant dose-response tests showed that the SX population exhibited 11.42-fold resistance to mesosulfuron-methyl than the susceptible HN population, and the resistance level in the SX population could be significantly reduced by malathion, a cytochrome P450 inhibitor. The SX population also exhibited cross-resistance to imazethapyr, pyroxsulam and bispyribac‑sodium. Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) sequencing and enzyme activity assays demonstrated that the mesosulfuron-methyl resistance was not conferred by target-site substitution. A sensitive AHAS, together with the malathion revisable resistance, suggested that herbicide metabolism likely plays a main role in the mechanism of mesosulfuron-methyl resistance in the SX population. To our knowledge, this is the first report elucidating the mesosulfuron-methyl resistance in Tausch's goatgrass.

Abstract
There have been many studies on target-site resistance (TSR) to PSII-inhibiting herbicides, but only a few on the non-target-site resistance (NTSR). Here, we reported both TSR and NTSR to metribuzin in a wild radish population. Dose-response studies revealed a higher level of resistance to metribuzin in the resistant (R) compared to the susceptible (S) population. Sequencing of the target psbA gene revealed the known Ser-264-Gly mutation in R plants. In addition, a higher level of [14C]-metribuzin metabolism and, consequently, a lower level of [14C] translocation were also detected in the R plants. These results demonstrated that both psbA gene mutation and enhanced metabolism contribute to metribuzin resistance in this wild radish population. Furthermore, this resistant population showed resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides due to multiple ALS gene mutations. This is the first report in wild radish of metabolic herbicide resistance, in addition to the target-site psbA gene mutation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Water chickweed (Myosoton aquaticum (L.)) is a dicot broadleaf weed that is widespread in winter fields in China, and has evolved serious resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibiting herbicides. RESULTS We identified a M. aquaticum population exhibiting moderate (6.15-fold) resistance to tribenuron-methyl (TM). Target-site ALS gene sequencing revealed no known resistance mutations in these plants, and the in vitro ALS activity assays showed no differences in enzyme sensitivity between susceptible and resistant populations; however, resistance was reversed by pretreatment with the cytochrome P450 (CYP) monooxygenase inhibitor malathion. An RNA sequencing transcriptome analysis was performed to identify candidate genes involved in metabolic resistance, and the unigenes obtained by de novo transcriptome assembly were annotated across seven databases. In total, 34 differentially expressed genes selected by digital gene expression analysis were validated by quantitative real-time (qRT)-PCR. Ten consistently overexpressed contigs, including four for CYP, four for ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, and two for peroxidase were further validated by qRT-PCR using additional plants from resistant and susceptible populations. Three CYP genes (with homology to CYP734A1, CYP76C1, and CYP86B1) and one ABC transporter gene (with homology to ABCC10) were highly expressed in all resistant plants. CONCLUSION The mechanism of TM resistance in M. aquaticum is controlled by NTSR rather than TSR. Four genes, CYP734A1, CYP76C1, CYP86B1, and ABCC10 could play essential role in metabolic resistance to TM and justify further functional studies. To our knowledge, this is the first large-scale transcriptome analysis of genes associated with NTSR in M. aquaticum using the Illumina platform. Our data provide resource for M. aquaticum biology, and will facilitate the study of herbicide resistance mechanism at the molecular level in this species as well as in other weeds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Descurainia sophia L., a problematic weed in winter wheat fields in China, has developed high resistance to tribenuron-methyl. Amino acid substitutions at sites Pro197, Asp376 and Trp574 in the target acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) were primarily responsible for D. sophia resistance to tribenuron-methyl. In this study, purified subpopulations of D. sophia plants individually homozygous for a specific resistance mutation (Pro197Leu, Pro197His, Pro197Ser, Pro197Thr, Asp376Glu or Trp574Leu) in AHAS were generated, and the effects of resistance mutations on D. sophia resistance and AHAS characteristics were investigated. RESULTS All resistance mutations in this study not only caused D. sophia to evolve 152- to 811-fold resistance to tribenuron-methyl but also greatly reduced AHAS sensitivity to tribenuron-methyl and increased AHAS binding affinity for the substrate pyruvate, which was primarily responsible for D. sophia resistance. The molecular docking results indicated that these resistance mutations altered AHAS binding affinity for tribenuron-methyl by reducing the hydrogen bonds and changing hydrophobic interactions. Compared with the wild-type AHAS, these resistance mutations exhibited no significant effects on AHAS feedback inhibition by branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) at concentrations <0.08 mm. The altered AHAS sensitivity to feedback inhibition by BCAAs did not necessarily increase or decrease the free BCAAs in resistant D. sophia plants. CONCLUSION The AHAS resistance mutations conferred D. sophia resistance to tribenuron-methyl by decreasing the binding affinity for tribenuron-methyl and/or increasing the binding affinity for pyruvate, but the mutations did not necessarily affect the biosynthesis of BCAAs in plants. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Feral radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is a problematic weed that has become resistant to acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) inhibitor herbicides due to the Trp574Leu mutation. An AHAS gene mutation that causes herbicide resistance may have negative pleiotropic effects on plant fitness. This study reports the effects of the Trp574Leu mutation on AHAS activity and reproductive traits of R. sativus. RESULTS Eight of 17 feral radish accessions presented individuals resistant to metsulfuron-methyl at 0.5% to >90.0% and all the resistant individuals analyzed showed the Trp574Leu mutation. Without herbicide selection, the AHAS activity was 3.2-fold higher in the susceptible accession than in the resistant one. The resistant accession was >9000-fold more resistant to metsulfuron-methyl and imazethapyr than the susceptible accession. Under low intraspecific competition during two growing seasons, AHAS-resistant feral radish accessions showed 22-38% and 21-47% lower seed numbers and yield per plant than the susceptible accession. CONCLUSION This is the first report of fitness cost associated with the AHAS Trp574Leu mutation in R. sativus populations. This fitness cost could reduce frequency of the resistant allele without herbicide selection. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
A novel glyphosate resistance double point mutation (T102I/P106S, TIPS) in the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) gene has been recently identified for the first time only in the weed species Eleusine indica. Quantification of plant resistance cost associated with the TIPS and the often reported glyphosate resistance single P106S mutation was performed. A significant resistance cost (50% in seed number currency) associated with the homozygous TIPS but not the homozygous P106S EPSPS variant was identified in E. indica plants. The resistance cost associated with the TIPS mutation escalated to 85% in plants under resource competition with rice crops. The resistance cost was not detected in nonhomozygous TIPS plants denoting the recessive nature of the cost associated with the TIPS allele. An excess of 11-fold more shikimate and sixfold more quinate in the shikimate pathway was detected in TIPS plants in the absence of glyphosate treatment compared to wild type, whereas no changes in these compounds were observed in P106S plants when compared to wild type. TIPS plants show altered metabolite levels in several other metabolic pathways that may account for the expression of the observed resistance cost.

Abstract
Herbicide target-site resistance mutations may cause pleiotropic effects on plant ecology and physiology. The effect of several known (Pro197Ser, Pro197Leu Pro197Ala, and Pro197Glu) target-site resistance mutations of the ALS gene on both ALS functionality and plant vegetative growth of weed Myosoton aquaticum L. (water chickweed) have been investigated here. The enzyme kinetics of ALS from four purified water chickweed populations that each homozygous for the specific target-site resistance-endowing mutations were characterized and the effect of these mutations on plant growth was assessed via relative growth rate (RGR) analysis. Plants homozygous for Pro197Ser and Pro197Leu exhibited higher extractable ALS activity than susceptible (S) plants, while all ALS mutations with no negative change in ALS kinetics. The Pro197Leu mutation increased ALS sensitivity to isoleucine and valine, and Pro197Glu mutation slightly increased ALS sensitivity to isoleucine. RGR results indicated that none of these ALS resistance mutations impose negative pleiotropic effects on relative growth rate. However, resistant (R) seeds had a lowed germination rate than S seeds. This study provides baseline information on ALS functionality and plant growth characteristics associated with ALS inhibitor resistance-endowing mutations in water chickweed.

Abstract
Target-site and non-target-site resistance mechanisms to ALS inhibitors were investigated in multiple resistant (tribenuron-methyl and 2,4-D) and only 2,4-D resistant, Spanish corn poppy populations. Six amino-acid replacements at the Pro197 position (Ala197, Arg197, His197, Leu197, Thr197 and Ser197) were found in three multiple resistant populations. These replacements were responsible for the high tribenuron-methyl resistance response, and some of them, especially Thr197 and Ser197, elucidated the cross-resistant pattern for imazamox and florasulam, respectively. Mutations outside of the conserved regions of the ALS gene (Gly427 and Leu648) were identified, but not related to resistance response. Higher mobility of labeled tribenuron-methyl in plants with multiple resistance was, however, similar to plants with only 2,4-D resistance, indicating the presence of non-target-site resistance mechanisms (NTSR). Metabolism studies confirmed the presence of a hydroxy imazamox metabolite in one of the populations. Lack of correlation between phenotype and genotype in plants treated with florasulam or imazamox, non-mutated plants surviving imazamox, tribenuron-methyl translocation patterns and the presence of enhanced metabolism revealed signs of the presence of NTSR mechanisms to ALS inhibitors in this species. On this basis, selection pressure with ALS non-SU inhibitors bears the risk of promoting the evolution of NTSR mechanisms in corn poppy.

[PMID: 28187829 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2016.08.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2016] [Revised: 08/13/2016] [Accepted: 08/19/2016] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
Acetolactate synthase (ALS) is the common target of ALS-inhibiting herbicides, and target-site ALS mutations are the main mechanism of resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides. In this study, ALS1 and ALS2 genes with full lengths of 2004bp and 1998bp respectively were cloned in individual plants of susceptible (S) or resistant (R) flixweed (Descurainia sophia L.) populations. Two ALS mutations of Pro-197-Thr and/or Trp-574-Leu were identified in plants of three R biotypes (HB24, HB30 and HB42). In order to investigate the function of ALS isozymes in ALS-inhibiting herbicide resistance, pHB24 (a Pro-197-Thr mutation in ALS1 and a wild type ALS2), pHB42 (a Trp-574-Leu mutation in ALS1 and a wild type ALS2) and pHB30 (a Trp-574-Leu mutation in ALS1 and a Pro-197-Thr mutation in ALS2) subpopulations individually homozygous for different ALS mutations were generated. Individuals of pHB30 had mutations in each isozyme of ALS and had higher resistance than pHB24 and pHB42 populations containing mutations in only one ALS isozyme. Moreover, the pHB24 had resistance to SU, TP and SCT herbicides, whereas pHB24 and pHB42 had resistance to these classes of herbicides as well as IMI and PTB herbicides. The sensitivity of isolated ALS enzyme to inhibition by herbicides in these populations correlated with whole plant resistance levels. Therefore, reduced ALS sensitivity resulting from the mutations in ALS was responsible for resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides in flixweed.

Abstract
Gene mutations conferring herbicide resistance may cause pleiotropic effects on plant fitness. Knowledge of these effects is important for managing the evolution of herbicide-resistant weeds. An Echinochloa crus-galli population resistant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) herbicides was collected in a maize field in north-eastern Italy and the cross-resistance pattern, resistance mechanism and fitness costs associated to mutant-resistant plants under field conditions in the presence or absence of intra-specific competition were determined. The study reports for the first time the Ala-122-Asn amino-acid change in the ALS gene that confers high levels of cross-resistance to all ALS inhibitors tested. Results of 3-year growth analysis showed that mutant resistant E. crus-galli plants had a delayed development in comparison with susceptible plants and this was registered in both competitive (3, 7, and 20 plants m-2) and non-competitive (spaced plants) situations. The number of panicles produced by resistant plants was also lower (about 40% fewer panicles) than susceptible plants under no-intraspecific competition. Instead, with the increasing competition level, the difference in panicle production at harvest time decreased until it became negligible at 20 plants m-2. Evaluation of total dry biomass as well as biomass allocation in vegetative parts did not highlight any difference between resistant and susceptible plants. Instead, panicle dry weight was higher in susceptible plants indicating that they allocated more biomass than resistant ones to the reproductive organs, especially in no-competition and in competition situations at lower plant densities. The different fitness between resistant and susceptible phenotypes suggests that keeping the infestation density as low as possible can increase the reproduction success of the susceptible phenotype and therefore contribute to lowering the ratio between resistant and susceptible alleles. If adequately embedded in a medium or long-term integrated weed management strategy, the presence of R plants with a fitness penalty provides an opportunity to minimize or reverse herbicide resistance evolution through the implementation of integrated weed management, i.e., all possible control tools available.

Abstract
Herbicide resistance is a ubiquitous challenge to herbicide sustainability and a looming threat to control weeds in crops. Recently four genes were found constituently over-expressed in herbicide resistant individuals of Lolium rigidum, a close relative of Lolium multiflorum. These include two cytochrome P450s, one nitronate monooxygenase and one glycosyl-transferase. Higher expressions of these four herbicide metabolism related (HMR) genes were also observed after herbicides exposure in the gene expression databases, indicating them as reliable markers. In order to get an overview of herbicidal resistance status of L. multiflorum L, 19 field populations were collected. Among these populations, four populations were found to be resistant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors while three exhibited resistance to acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors in our initial screening and dose response study. The genotyping showed the presence of mutations Trp-574-Leu and Ile-2041-Asn in ALS and ACCase, respectively, and qPCR experiments revealed the enhanced expression of HMR genes in individuals of certain resistant populations. Moreover, co-expression networks and promoter analyses of HMR genes in O. sativa and A. thaliana resulted in the identification of a cis-regulatory motif and zinc finger transcription factors. The identified transcription factors were highly expressed similar to HMR genes in response to xenobiotics whereas the identified motif is known to play a vital role in coping with environmental stresses and maintaining genome stability. Overall, our findings provide an important step forward toward a better understanding of metabolism-based herbicide resistance that can be utilized to devise novel strategies of weed management.

Abstract
Experiments were conducted to confirm imazethapyr resistance in redroot amaranth (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) and study the target-site based mechanism for the resistance. Whole-plant response experiments revealed that the resistant (R) population exhibited 19.16 fold resistance to imazethapyr compared with the susceptible (S) population. In vitro ALS activity assay demonstrated that the imazethapyr I50 value of the R population was 21.33 times greater than that of the S population. However, qRT-PCR analysis revealed that there is no difference in ALS gene expression between the R and S populations. Sequence analysis revealed an Asp-376-Glu substitution in ALS in the R population. In order to verify that the imazethapyr resistance was conferred by Asp-376-Glu mutation, the ALS-R and ALS-S genes were fused to the CaMV 35S promoter and introduced into Arabidopsis respectively. The expression of ALS-R in transgenic Arabidopsis plants exhibited 13.79 fold resistance to imazethapyr compared to ALS-S transgenic Arabidopsis.

Abstract
This is a first report of an Ala-205-Phe substitution in acetolactate synthase conferring resistance to imidazolinone, sulfonylurea, triazolopyrimidines, sulfonylamino-carbonyl-triazolinones, and pyrimidinyl (thio) benzoate herbicides. Resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS) and photosystem II inhibiting herbicides was confirmed in a population of allotetraploid annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.; POAAN-R3) selected from golf course turf in Tennessee. Genetic sequencing revealed that seven of eight POAAN-R3 plants had a point mutation in the psbA gene resulting in a known Ser-264-Gly substitution on the D1 protein. Whole plant testing confirmed that this substitution conferred resistance to simazine in POAAN-R3. Two homeologous forms of the ALS gene (ALSa and ALSb) were detected and expressed in all POAAN-R3 plants sequenced. The seven plants possessing the Ser-264-Gly mutation conferring resistance to simazine also had a homozygous Ala-205-Phe substitution on ALSb, caused by two nucleic acid substitutions in one codon. In vitro ALS activity assays with recombinant protein and whole plant testing confirmed that this Ala-205-Phe substitution conferred resistance to imidazolinone, sulfonylurea, triazolopyrimidines, sulfonylamino-carbonyl- triazolinones, and pyrimidinyl (thio) benzoate herbicides. This is the first report of Ala-205-Phe mutation conferring wide spectrum resistance to ALS inhibiting herbicides.

Abstract
Sagittaria trifolia L. is one of the most serious weeds in paddy fields in northeast of China and cannot be controlled effectively by bensulfuron-methyl in recent years. In this study, two suspected resistant S. trifolia populations (R1 and R2) were collected in Liaoning province of China. Whole-plant dose-response studies showed that R1 and R2 were highly resistant to bensulfuron-methyl, with the GR50 R/S ratios of 76.99 and 49.94 respectively. In vitro acetolactate synthase (ALS) assays revealed that resistance was due to reduced sensitivity of the ALS to bensulfuron-methyl inhibition, with I50 R/S ratios of 81.86 and 67.48 for R1 and R2, respectively. Total ALS activity was similar for the S and R2 populations, whereas the R1 population displayed significantly higher ALS activity than did the S population. The mutations Pro-197-Leu and Pro-197-Ser were identified in the ALS gene of the R1 and R2 populations, respectively. This is the first report examining bensulfuron-resistant S. trifolia in Liaoning province, China. The Pro197 mutation is likely responsible for resistance to bensulfuron-methyl in S. trifolia populations.

Abstract
Alopecurus aequalis, a predominant weed species in wheat and oilseed rape fields, can no longer be controlled by mesosulfuron-methyl application after continuous use over several years. Based on dose-response studies, the putative resistant populations, JTJY-1 and JHHZ-1, were found to be resistant to mesosulfuron-methyl, with resistance index values of 5.5 and 14, respectively. Sensitivity assays of the mesosulfuron-methyl-resistant populations to other herbicides revealed that the JTJY-1 population had moderate or high cross resistance to sulfonylureas (SUs) and triazolopyrimidines (TPs), but displayed a low level resistance to imidazolinones (IMIs). JTJY-1 also had high multi-resistance to ACCase inhibitors, but remained susceptible to photosystem II inhibitors. The JHHZ-1 population was resistant to all ALS inhibitors tested, but was sensitive to ACCase inhibitors and photosystem II inhibitors. To clarify the molecular basis of resistance in JTJY-1 and JHHZ-1 population, the ALS and ACCase gene were sequenced. Two ALS mutations (Pro-197-Thr or Trp-574-Leu) were detected in the mesosulfuron-methyl-resistant plants. The ACCase gene analysis revealed that the resistant JTJY-1 population had an Ile-1781-Leu mutation. Furthermore, the presence of two different target site resistance (TSR) mechanisms (ALS and ACCase mutations) existing simultaneously in individual A. aequalis was firstly documented in the presented study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 1,2,4-Triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives represent a new series of compounds that possess good herbicidal activity against Echinochloa crusgalli (L.) Beauv., Setaria faberii, Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop., Brassica juncea Coss., Amaranthus retroflexus L. and Eclipta prostrata L. RESULTS A total of 23 novel 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives were synthesised and identified by (1) H NMR, IR, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, mass-spectroscopic and elemental analysis, and their herbicidal activities were tested against E. crusgalli (L.) Beauv., S. faberii, D. sanguinalis (L.) Scop., B. juncea Coss., A. retroflexus L. and E. prostrata L. at 150 g a.i. ha(-1) . It was found that the title compound 8-chloro-3-(4-propylphenyl)-[1,2,4]-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine possesses high herbicidal activity and a broad spectrum against the 22 test weeds, with an inhibition effect of about 50% at a dosage of 37.5 g a.i. ha(-1) , and is safe for corn, cotton and rice at a dosage of 150 g a.i. ha(-1) . Furthermore, comparative molecular field analysis contour models were established to study the structure-activity relationship of the title compounds. CONCLUSION It is possible that, with further structure modification, 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine derivatives, which possess good herbicidal activities, may become novel lead compounds for the development of herbicides against dicotyledonous weeds.

Abstract
Water chickweed (Myosoton aquaticum L.), a competitive broadleaf weed, is widespread in wheat fields in China. Tribenuron and pyroxsulam failed to control water chickweed in the same field in Qiaotian Village in 2011 and 2012, respectively. An initial tribenuron resistance confirmation test identified a resistant population (AH02). ALS gene sequencing revealed a previously unreported substitution of Glu for Pro at amino acid position 197 in resistant individuals. A purified subpopulation (WRR04) that was individually homozygous for the Pro197Glu substitution was generated and characterized in terms of its response to different classes of ALS inhibitors. A whole-plant experiment showed that the WRR04 population exhibited broad-spectrum resistance to tribenuron (SU, 318-fold), pyrithiobac sodium (PTB, > 197-fold), pyroxsulam (TP, 81-fold), florasulam (TP, > 36-fold) and imazethapyr (IMI, 11-fold). An in vitro ALS assay confirmed that the ALS from WRR04 showed high resistance to all the tested ALS inhibitors. These results established that the Pro197Glu substitution endows broad-spectrum resistance across ALS inhibitors in water chickweed. In addition, molecular markers were developed to rapidly identify the Pro197Glu mutation.

Abstract
Flixweed (Descurainia Sophia L.) is a problematic weed in winter wheat fields in China, which causes great loss of wheat yield. A total of 46 flixweed accessions from winter wheat-planting areas were collected and used for the survey of resistance to tribenuron-methyl and Pro197 mutation diversity. According to the "R" resistance rating system, 16 flixweed accessions have evolved resistance to tribenuron-methyl, 13 accessions have high risk of developing resistance to this herbicide and 17 accessions are susceptible. The mutation of Pro197 codon (CCT) changed proline (Pro) into leucine (Leu) (homozygous, RR), serine (Ser, RR), histidine (His, RR), threonine (Thr, RR), Pro/Leu (heterozygous, RS), Pro/Ser (RS), Pro/His, Pro/Thr (RS) and Pro/Tyr (RS). Among these amino acid changes, a Pro197-Pro/Tyr (heterozygous, RS) substitution caused by the mutation of two successive nucleotides was identified for the first time in resistant weed species. In addition, the Pro197-His and Pro197-Pro/His mutations have not been reported previously in flixweed. Finally, a CPAS marker was developed to identify flixweed plants with or without Pro197 mutation.

Abstract
Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) inhibitor herbicides currently comprise the largest site-of-action group (with 54 active ingredients across five chemical groups) and have been widely used in world agriculture since they were first introduced in 1982. Resistance evolution in weeds to AHAS inhibitors has been rapid and identified in populations of many weed species. Often, evolved resistance is associated with point mutations in the target AHAS gene; however non-target-site enhanced herbicide metabolism occurs as well. Many AHAS gene resistance mutations can occur and be rapidly enriched owing to a high initial resistance gene frequency, simple and dominant genetic inheritance and lack of major fitness cost of the resistance alleles. Major advances in the elucidation of the crystal structure of the AHAS (Arabidopsis thaliana) catalytic subunit in complex with various AHAS inhibitor herbicides have greatly improved current understanding of the detailed molecular interactions between AHAS, cofactors and herbicides. Compared with target-site resistance, non-target-site resistance to AHAS inhibitor herbicides is less studied and hence less understood. In a few well-studied cases, non-target-site resistance is due to enhanced rates of herbicide metabolism (metabolic resistance), mimicking that occurring in tolerant crop species and often involving cytochrome P450 monooxygenases. However, the specific herbicide-metabolising, resistance-endowing genes are yet to be identified in resistant weed species. The current state of mechanistic understanding of AHAS inhibitor herbicide resistance is reviewed, and outstanding research issues are outlined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple-herbicide resistance in Lolium perenne spp. multiflorum has evolved in many areas in Oregon. To manage the resistant populations, the resistance patterns must be determined. In this study, a population (CT) suspected to be resistant to sulfometuron and hexazinone was collected from a Christmas tree plantation. RESULTS The CT population is resistant to at least six herbicides with four different mechanisms of action: atrazine (>16-fold), diuron (2.4-fold), glyphosate (7.4-fold), hexazinone (3.1-fold), imazapyr (1.8-fold) and sulfometuron (>16-fold). Two mutations, Trp-591-Leu and Ser-264-Gly, were identified in the acetolactate synthase (ALS) and psbA gene respectively. No previously reported mutation in the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) gene was found. Less shikimic acid accumulated in the CT plants than in the susceptible plants after treatment with glyphosate at 0.6 kg AE ha(-1) . CONCLUSION This study suggests that the multiple resistance patterns of Lolium perenne spp. multiflorum populations can be complex, but that chemical control options to manage these populations exist. These remaining chemical options should be integrated with non-chemical management strategies to slow the spread of multiple-resistant biotypes in agroecosystems.

Abstract
A point mutation in the AHAS1 gene leading to resistance to imidazolinone in chickpea was identified. The resistance is inherited as a single gene. A KASP marker targeting the mutation was developed. Weed control in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is challenging due to poor crop competition ability and limited herbicide options. A chickpea genotype with resistance to imidazolinone (IMI) herbicides has been identified, but the genetic inheritance and the mechanism were unknown. In many plant species, resistance to IMI is caused by point mutation(s) in the acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) gene resulting in an amino acid substitution preventing herbicide attachment to the molecule. The main objective of this research was to characterize the resistance to IMI herbicides in chickpea. Two homologous AHAS genes namely AHAS1 and AHAS2 sharing 80 % amino acid sequence similarity were identified in the chickpea genome. Cluster analysis indicated independent grouping of AHAS1 and AHAS2 across legume species. A point mutation in the AHAS1 gene at C675 to T675 resulting in an amino acid substitution from Ala205 to Val205 confers the resistance to IMI in chickpea. A KASP marker targeting the point mutation was developed and effectively predicted the response to IMI herbicides in a recombinant inbred (RI) population of chickpea. The RI population was used in molecular mapping where the major locus for the reaction to IMI herbicide was mapped to chromosome 5. Segregation analysis across an F2 population and RI population demonstrated that the resistance is inherited as a single gene in a semi-dominant fashion. The simple genetic inheritance and the availability of KASP marker generated in this study would speed up development of chickpea varieties with resistance to IMI herbicides.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The structural pattern of infectivity matrices, which contains infection data resulting from inoculations of a set of hosts by a set of parasites, is a key parameter for our understanding of biological interactions and their evolution. This pattern determines the evolution of parasite pathogenicity and host resistance, the spatiotemporal distribution of host and parasite genotypes, and the efficiency of disease control strategies. Two major patterns have been proposed for plant-virus genotype infectivity matrices. In the gene-for-gene model, infectivity matrices show a nested pattern, where the host ranges of specialist virus genotypes are subsets of the host ranges of less specialized viruses. In contrast, in the matching-allele (MA) model, each virus genotype is specialized to infect one (or a small set of) host genotype(s). The corresponding infectivity matrix shows a modular pattern where infection is frequent for plants and viruses belonging to the same module but rare for those belonging to different modules. We analyzed the structure of infectivity matrices between Potato virus Y (PVY) and plant genotypes in the family Solanaceae carrying different eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E)-coding alleles conferring recessive resistance. Whereas this system corresponds mechanistically to an MA model, the expected modular pattern was rejected based on our experimental data. This was mostly because PVY mutations involved in adaptation to a particular plant genotype displayed frequent pleiotropic effects, conferring simultaneously an adaptation to additional plant genotypes with different eIF4E alleles. Such effects should be taken into account for the design of strategies of sustainable control of PVY through plant varietal mixtures or rotations. IMPORTANCE The interaction pattern between host and virus genotypes has important consequences on their respective evolution and on issues regarding the application of disease control strategies. We found that the structure of the interaction between Potato virus Y (PVY) variants and host plants in the family Solanaceae departs significantly from the current model of interaction considered for these organisms because of frequent pleiotropic effects of virus mutations. These mutational effects allow the virus to expand rapidly its range of host plant genotypes, make it very difficult to predict the effects of mutations in PVY infectivity factors, and raise concerns about strategies of sustainable management of plant genetic resistance to viruses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gene mutations that endow herbicide resistance may cause pleiotropic effects on plant ecology and physiology. This paper reports on the effect of a number of known and novel target-site resistance mutations of the ALS gene (Ala-122-Tyr, Pro-197-Ser, Asp-376-Glu or Trp-574-Leu) on vegetative growth traits of the weed Raphanus raphanistrum. RESULTS The results from a series of experiments have indicated that none of these ALS resistance mutations imposes negative pleiotropic effects on relative growth rate (RGR), photosynthesis and resource-competitive ability in R. raphanistrum plants. The absence of pleiotropic effects on plant growth occurs in spite of increased (Ala-122-Tyr, Pro-197-Ser, Asp-376-Glu) and decreased (Trp-574-Leu) extractable ALS activity. CONCLUSION The absence of detrimental pleiotropic effects on plant growth associated with the ALS target-site resistance mutations reported here is a contributing factor in resistance alleles being at relatively high frequencies in ALS-herbicide-unselected R. raphanistrum populations.

Abstract
Barnyardgrass biotypes from Arkansas (AR1 and AR2) and Mississippi (MS1) have evolved cross-resistance to imazamox, imazethapyr, and penoxsulam. Additionally, AR1 and MS1 have evolved cross-resistance to bispyribac-sodium. Studies were conducted to determine if resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides in these biotypes is target-site or non-target-site based. Sequencing and analysis of a 1701 base pair ALS coding sequence revealed Ala₁₂₂ to Val and Ala₁₂₂ to Thr substitutions in AR1 and AR2, respectively. The imazamox concentrations required for 50% inhibition of ALS enzyme activity in vitro of AR1 and AR2 were 2.0 and 5.8 times, respectively, greater than the susceptible biotype. Absorption of ¹⁴C-bispyribac-sodium, -imazamox, and -penoxsulam was similar in all biotypes. ¹⁴C-Penoxsulam translocation out of the treated leaf (≤2%) was similar among all biotypes. ¹⁴C-Bispyribac-treated AR1 and MS1 translocated 31- 43% less radioactivity to aboveground tissue below the treated leaf compared to the susceptible biotype. ¹⁴C-Imazamox-treated AR1 plants translocated 39% less radioactivity above the treated leaf and aboveground tissue below the treated leaf, and MS1 translocated 54 and 18% less radioactivity to aboveground tissue above and below the treated leaf, respectively, compared to the susceptible biotype. Phosphorimaging results further corroborated the above results. This study shows that altered target site is a mechanism of resistance to imazamox in AR2 and probably in AR1. Additionally, reduced translocation, which may be a result of metabolism, could contribute to imazamox and bispyribac-sodium resistance in AR1 and MS1.
