Abstract
Ammannia auriculata Willd. is a noxious broadleaf weed, commonly infesting rice ecosystems across southern China. A putative resistant A. auriculata population (AHSC-5) was sampled from a rice field of Anhui Province, where bensulfuron-methyl (BM) was unable to control its occurrence. This study aimed to determine the sensitivities of the AHSC-5 population to common-use herbicides, and to investigate the underlying resistance mechanisms. The bioassays showed that the AHSC-5 population was 138.1-fold resistant to BM, compared with the susceptible population (JSGL-1). Pretreatment of malathion reduced the resistance index to 19.5. ALS sequencing revealed an Asp376Glu substitution in the AHSC-5 population, and in vitro ALS activity assays found that 50% activity inhibition (I50) of BM in AHSC-5 was 75.4 times higher than that of JSGL-1. Moreover, the AHSC-5 population displayed cross-resistance to pyrazosulfuron-ethyl (10.6-fold), bispyribac‑sodium (3.6-fold), and imazethapyr (2.2-fold), and was in the process of evolving multiple resistance to synthetic auxin herbicides fluroxypyr (2.3-fold) and florpyrauxifen-benzyl (3.1-fold). This study proved the BM resistance in A. auriculata caused by the Asp376Glu mutation and P450-regulated metabolism. This multi-resistant population can still be controlled by penoxsulam, MCPA, bentazone, and carfentrazone-ethyl, which aids in developing targeted and effective weed management strategies.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 197:105683. [PMID: 38072540 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2023.105683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023]
Abstract
Wild Brassica juncea is a troublesome weed that infests wheat fields in China. Two suspected wild B. juncea populations (19-5 and 19-6) resistant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors were collected from wheat fields in China. To clarify their resistance profiles and resistance mechanism, the resistance levels of populations 19-5 and 19-6 to ALS-inhibiting herbicides and their underlying target-site resistance mechanism were investigated. The results showed that the 19-5 population exhibited resistance to tribenuron-methyl, pyrithiobac‑sodium and florasulam, while the 19-6 population was resistant to tribenuron-methyl, pyrithiobac‑sodium, imazethapyr and florasulam. Using the homologous cloning method, two ALS genes were identified in wild B. juncea, with one gene (ALS1) encoding 652 amino acids and the other (ALS2) encoding 655 amino acids. Pro-197-Arg mutation on ALS2 and Trp-574-Leu mutation on ALS1, together with the combination of these two mutations in a single plant, were observed in both 19-5 and 19-6 populations. ALS2 enzymes carrying the Pro-197-Arg mutation were cross-resistant to tribenuron-methyl, pyrithiobac‑sodium, imazerthapyr and florasulam, with resistance index (RI) values of 6.23, 32.81, 7.97 and 1162.50, respectively. Similarly, ALS1 enzymes with Trp-574-leu substitutions also displayed high resistance to these four herbicides (RI values ranging from 132.61 to 3375.00). In addition, the combination of Pro-197-Arg (ALS2) and Trp-574-Leu (ALS1) mutations increased the resistance level of the ALS enzyme to ALS inhibitors, with its RI values 3.83-214.19, 6.88-37.34, 1.91-31.82 and 2.03-5.90-fold higher than a single mutation for tribenuron-methyl, pyrithiobac‑sodium, imazerthapyr and florasulam, respectively. Collectively, Pro-197-Arg mutation on ALS2, Trp-574-Leu mutation on ALS1 and the combination of Pro-197-Arg (ALS2) and Trp-574-Leu (ALS1) mutations in wild B. juncea could endow broad-spectrum resistance to ALS inhibitors, which might provide guides for establishing effective strategies to prevent or delay such resistance evolution in this weed.

Abstract
Recently, the herbicide fomesafen has frequently failed to control the troublesome weed Ipomoea nil in soybean fields in Liaoning Province, China. Hence, we collected 10 suspected resistant populations and evaluated their sensitivity to fomesafen. The results revealed various degrees of Ipomoea nil resistance to fomesafen, with a resistance index of 2.88 to 22.43; the highest value occurred in the LN3 population. Therefore, the mechanisms of the resistance in LN3 to fomesafen were explored. After fomesafen treatment, the expression levels of InPPX1 and InPPX2 genes were 4.19- and 9.29-fold higher, respectively, in LN3 than those in the susceptible (LN1) population. However, mutations and copy number variations were not detected between the two populations. Additionally, malathion pretreatment reduced the dose necessary to halve the growth rate of LN3 by 58%. Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry demonstrated that metabolism of fomesafen was significantly suppressed by malathion. Moreover, LN3 displayed increased reactive oxygen species scavenging capacity, which was represented by higher superoxide dismutase and peroxidase activities after fomesafen application than those in LN1. An orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis revealed that the high resistance in LN3 could be attributed mainly to enhanced metabolism. Fortunately, the fomesafen-resistant I. nil remained sensitive to 2,4-D-ethylhexylester and bentazon, providing methods for its control.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2022; 190:240-247. [PMID: 36148723 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2022.09.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 09/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Weeds tend to develop resistance to herbicides with time. Understanding the resistance mechanisms evolved by weeds would help manage weed infestation. Sagittaria trifolia, a paddy weed found in the rice fields of Liaoning, China, has developed resistance to bensulfuron-methyl, causing severe yield losses in rice. This study deciphers the underlying mechanisms in terms of non-target-site resistance toward bensulfuron-methyl. We compared the ability of glutathione S-transferase (GST) mediated detoxification metabolism and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging between sensitive (NHS) and resistant (NHR) populations of S. trifolia. The resistance ratio of NHR was 210; but the ratio was significantly decreased after GST-inhibitor treatment (44.9). This indicated that a GST-mediated enhancement of detoxification metabolism stimulated the development of resistance. Similarly, higher GST activity was observed in NHR; but the activity equaled that of NHS after GST-inhibitor treatment. However, treatment with the GST-inhibitor did not completely reverse bensulfuron-methyl resistance in NHR, indicating that additional factors contributed to herbicide resistance in these plants. We observed a rapid increase in H2O2 and malondialdehyde accumulation in the case of NHS after bensulfuron-methyl application, whereas those of NHR remained relatively stable, implying that NHR exhibited higher ROS-scavenging capacity under herbicide stress. Further, NHR showed higher glutathione and ascorbic acid contents and higher activities of glutathione reductase and dehydrogenase reductase, all of which contribute towards herbicide resistance in these plants. Our results indicate that GST-mediated detoxification metabolism of bensulfuron-methyl and ROS scavenging capacity contributed to the development of resistance in S. trifolia.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2022; 184:105111.

Abstract
Ipomea purpurea (L.) Roth. reduces dry land crop yield and quality in Northeast China, especially in Liaoning Province. Frequent use of thifensulfuron-methyl in recent years has resulted in herbicide resistance in I. purpurea. We evaluated resistance levels of I. purpurea to thifensulfuron-methyl, an acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor, in Liaoning Province and further investigated the resistance mechanisms. The results showed that 15 populations of I. purpurea have evolved up to 5.81-34.44-fold resistance to thifensulfuron-methyl, compared to the susceptible population (S), among which LN3 was the most resistant. DNA sequencing of the ALS gene in susceptible and resistant populations did not reveal any target site mutations that could be associated with resistance to thifensulfuron-methyl in I. purpurea. Additionally, no significant difference was detected between the in vitro ALS activity of LN3 and S. The GR50 of LN3 decreased sharply by 47% when malathion (a P450 inhibitor) was applied with thifensulfuron-methyl. Absorption of thifensulfuron-methyl by LN3 was equal to that of S; however, LN3 metabolized the herbicide significantly faster. This was repressed after the inhibition of P450s activity. Collectively, our results confirmed that I. purpurea in Liaoning Province has developed resistance to thifensulfuron-methyl and implied that the resistance was conferred by the increase in detoxification mediated by P450s. Furthermore, LN3 was sensitive to fluroxypyr, which can be used as an alternative to control I. purpurea.
