Matzrafi M, Blank L, Lati RN. Selection and adaptation to weed management methods: implications for non-chemical and integrated weed management approaches. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2024. [PMID: 39381864 DOI: 10.1002/ps.8463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2024] [Revised: 08/30/2024] [Accepted: 09/20/2024] [Indexed: 10/10/2024]
Abstract
Herbicide-resistant weeds are a growing global concern, threatening food security. Non-chemical weed management approaches are becoming increasingly important. Furthermore, the adoption of non-conventional agricultural practices is on the rise, with regenerative farming practices aimed at rebuilding soil organic matter, restoring biodiversity, and reducing chemical use gaining traction. Consequently, non-chemical weed management methods are seen as essential solutions. However, excessive reliance on these methods may inadvertently lead to weed selection and adaptation, reducing their effectiveness. Here, we explore the mechanisms driving changes in efficacy due to selectivity and adaptation to non-chemical weed management practices. Additionally, we discuss potential integrated weed management (IWM) strategies that combine chemical and non-chemical methods to mitigate the risks of weed adaptation. This study highlights the role of evolutionary processes in shaping weed adaptation to non-chemical weed management methods and underscores the need to understand these processes to develop IWM approaches that remain effective over time. Monitoring phenological shifts and adaptations in the field should be a key component of decision support systems, tailored to the unique conditions of each site. Furthermore, a deeper understanding of weed adaptation mechanisms can enhance the efficacy of IWM strategies and help delay the inevitable adaptation to these control methods. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

[PMID: 39133691 PMCID: PMC11318849 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0308024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Nicosulfuron-resistant biotype (R) and -sensitive biotype (S) Amaranthus retroflexus L. seeds were subjected to different temperature, light, salt, osmotic potential, pH value and burial depth treatments. The difference in germination response of two populations to the above abiotic environmental factors was used to study the fitness cost of nicosulfuron-resistance evolution in A. retroflexus. The aim is to find a powerful tool for weed control in the presence of evolutionary resistance selection. The results of this experiment showed that the germination rate and germination index in S population were generally higher than that in R population. When the salt stress was 80 mM, the water potential was -0.1 Mpa ~ -0.4 Mpa, and under strong acid and alkali conditions, the germination index in S population was prominently higher than that in R population (p<0.05). The delayed seed germination in R population indicated that its nicosulfuron resistance may be linked to seed biochemical compositions that altered seed germination dynamics. The resistant and sensitive biotype of A. retroflexus had differently favourable adaptability in diverse environments. Salt, osmotic potential and pH value are not the major constraints for A. retroflexus germination, however, A. retroflexus are strongly responsive to temperature, light and burial depth. Considering that seeds of A. retroflexus are unable to reach the soil surface beyond the depth of 6 cm, deep inversion tillage before sowing may be an effective and economical weed management tool for the control of nicosulfuron resistant A. retroflexus.

Abstract
Hybridization between crops and their wild relatives may promote the evolution of de-domesticated (feral) weeds. Wild sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is typically found in ruderal environments, but crop-wild hybridization may facilitate the evolution of weedy populations. Using one crop-specific mitochondrial marker (CMS-PET1) and 14 nuclear SSR markers, we studied the origin and genetic diversity of a recently discovered weedy population of sunflower (named BRW). Then, using a resurrection approach, we tested for rapid evolution of weedy traits (seed dormancy, herbicide resistance, and competitive ability) by sampling weedy and wild populations 10 years apart (2007 and 2017). All the weedy plants present the CMS-PET1 cytotype, confirming their feral origin. At the nuclear markers, BRW showed higher genetic diversity than the cultivated lines and low differentiation with one wild population, suggesting that wild hybridization increased their genetic diversity. We found support for rapid evolution towards higher seed dormancy, but not for higher competitive ability or herbicide resistance. Our results highlight the importance of seed dormancy during the earliest stages of adaptation and show that crop-wild hybrids can evolve quickly in agricultural environments.

Diversified Bund Vegetation Coupled With Flowering Plants Enhances Predator Population and Early-Season Pest Control. ENVIRONMENTAL ENTOMOLOGY 2021; 50:842-851.

Abstract
Insecticide overuse in crop production systems often results in detrimental effects on predators and parasitoids, which regulate important insect pests. The natural enemies are also unable to survive in monocrop landscapes with the absence of shelter or food sources. Diversified vegetation, especially with flowering plants, can enhance natural enemy abundance and diversity, thus strengthening biological control, enabling farmers to reduce insecticides. In this study, we conserved bund vegetation and manipulated the existing rice landscapes with flowering plants to provide food and shelter for the biological control agents. Our study revealed significant positive relationships between predator densities and bund plant diversity. The abundance of predators significantly increased in the eco-engineered plots, especially at the flowering peaks compared to the insecticide-treated and control plots, while parasitoids were more diverse in both the eco-engineered and control plots. There were no significant differences in planthopper and leafhopper densities among the treatments during the rice early and maximum tillering stages, suggesting effective natural control of these herbivore pests in the eco-engineered plots at the early rice-growing season. However, at the heading stage relatively higher planthopper and leafhopper populations in the control and eco-engineered plots than in the insecticide-sprayed plots were recorded, suggesting perhaps the need for insecticide interventions if exceeding the threshold at this time. Our study indicates that manipulating the habitats surrounding the rice fields to enhance natural enemies is a sustainable practice in rice production as it can enhance the natural suppression of pests and thus reducing the need for insecticide.

Maity A, Singh V, Jessup R, Bagavathiannan M. Seed traits correlate with herbicide resistance in Italian ryegrass (Lolium perenne ssp. multiflorum). PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2021; 77:2756-2765. [PMID: 33506986 DOI: 10.1002/ps.6304] [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: 11/10/2020] [Revised: 01/23/2021] [Accepted: 01/28/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Italian ryegrass (Lolium perenne ssp. multiflorum) is one of the major winter annual weeds worldwide. In this research, diversity for seed morpho-physiological traits such as seed weight, seed size, awnedness, dormancy, speed of germination, and seed vigor among Italian ryegrass populations collected from the Texas Blacklands region were assessed, and potential association with herbicide resistance was investigated. RESULTS A high degree of diversity was observed among the populations for 100-seed weight (125-256 mg), seed length (4.8-6.6 mm), awn length (0-6 mm), and total seedling length (9-14 cm at 21 days after seed germination). Inter-population range for seed dormancy was higher in the freshly harvested seed (31-85%), which reduced to 18 to 62% at 9 months after harvest. Populations with high initial seed dormancy (> 70% dormancy) released dormancy at a faster rate than the low dormancy group (< 40%). Percent survival status to multiple postemergence herbicides was positively correlated with 100-seed weight and fresh or initial seed dormancy. CONCLUSION Early emerging cohorts are easily controlled by pre-plant tillage and preemergence herbicides, whereas late emerging cohorts (facilitated by seed dormancy) are exposed to postemergence herbicides wherein greater opportunities exist for resistance evolution, likely explaining the occurrence of high seed dormancy in Italian ryegrass populations resistant to postemergence herbicides. High seed weights can further allow seedling emergence from greater burial depth, thereby exposing more seedlings to postemergence herbicides and increasing the likelihood of resistance evolution. Results provide unique insights into the association between seed traits and herbicide resistance in this species. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Selective β-Mono-Glycosylation of a C15-Hydroxylated Metabolite of the Agricultural Herbicide Cinmethylin Using Leloir Glycosyltransferases. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2021; 69:5491-5499.

Abstract
Cinmethylin is a well-known benzyl-ether derivative of the natural terpene 1,4-cineole that is used industrially as a pre-emergence herbicide in grass weed control for crop protection. Cinmethylin detoxification in plants has not been reported, but in animals, it prominently involves hydroxylation at the benzylic C15 methyl group. Here, we show enzymatic β-glycosylation of synthetic 15-hydroxy-cinmethylin to prepare a putative phase II detoxification metabolite of the cinmethylin in plants. We examined eight Leloir glycosyltransferases for reactivity with 15-hydroxy cinmethylin and revealed the selective formation of 15-hydroxy cinmethylin β-d-glucoside from uridine 5'-diphosphate (UDP)-glucose by the UGT71E5 from safflower (Carthamus tinctorius). The UGT71E5 showed a specific activity of 431 mU/mg, about 300-fold higher than that of apple (Malus domestica) UGT71A15 that also performed the desired 15-hydroxy cinmethylin mono-glycosylation. Bacterial glycosyltransferases (OleD from Streptomyces antibioticus, 2.9 mU/mg; GT1 from Bacillus cereus, 60 mU/mg) produced mixtures of 15-hydroxy cinmethylin mono- and disaccharide glycosides. Using UDP-glucose recycling with sucrose synthase, 15-hydroxy cinmethylin conversion with UGT71E5 efficiently provided the β-mono-glucoside (≥95% yield; ∼9 mM) suitable for biological studies.

Abstract
Agricultural practices exert selective forces on weed populations. As these practices change over time, weed adaptive traits also evolve, allowing weeds to persist in the new environment. However, only weeds having individuals showing the trait with adaptive significance will be able to cope with these changes, thus allowing a sub-population to be selected for persistence. In addition, changes in agricultural practices can select new weed species showing functional traits with characteristics adaptive to the modified system. Seed dormancy has long been recognized as a trait with enormous adaptive value to adjust weed biology to cropping systems. In this paper, we illustrate with examples of success and failure, the value of seed dormancy as a functional trait to cope with long-term changes in crop production systems. We show that successful outcomes are mostly related to the existence of sufficient variability for the functioning of physiological mechanisms that control dormancy characteristics as influenced by the agricultural environment. Presented examples illustrate how knowledge about the relationship that exists between agricultural practices and their selective pressure on seed dormancy can be instrumental in predicting changes in weed biotype dormancy characteristics or foreseeing the appearance of new weed species in future agricultural scenarios. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

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.
