Li Q, Wang H, Yu J, Zhang W, Guo W, Liu Y. Metabolism-Based Herbicide Resistance to Mesosulfuron-methyl and Identification of Candidate Genes in Bromus japonicus. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:1751. [PMID: 38999592 PMCID: PMC11244151 DOI: 10.3390/plants13131751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
The evolved resistance of Bromus japonicus Houtt. to ALS-inhibiting herbicides is well established. Previous studies have primarily focused on target-site resistance; however, non-target-site resistance has not been well characterized. This investigation demonstrated that ALS gene sequencing did not detect any previously known resistance mutations in a mesosulfuron-methyl-resistant (MR) population, and notably, treatment with the P450 monooxygenase (P450) inhibitor malathion markedly heightened susceptibility to mesosulfuron-methyl. Utilizing UPLC-MS/MS analysis confirmed elevated mesosulfuron-methyl metabolism in MR plants. The integration of Isoform Sequencing (Iso-Seq) and RNA Sequencing (RNA-Seq) facilitated the identification of candidate genes associated with non-target sites in a subpopulation with two generations of herbicide selection. Through qRT-PCR analysis, 21 differentially expressed genes were characterized, and among these, 10 genes (comprising three P450s, two glutathione S-transferases, one glycosyltransferase, two ATP-binding cassette transporters, one oxidase, and one hydrolase) exhibited constitutive upregulation in resistant plants. Our findings substantiated that increased herbicide metabolism is a driving force behind mesosulfuron-methyl resistance in this B. japonicus population.

[PMID: 38219012 PMCID: PMC11009161 DOI: 10.1016/j.xplc.2024.100816] [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: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/15/2024]
Abstract
Weeds pose a significant threat to crop production, resulting in substantial yield reduction. In addition, they possess robust weedy traits that enable them to survive in extreme environments and evade human control. In recent years, the application of multi-omics biotechnologies has helped to reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying these weedy traits. In this review, we systematically describe diverse applications of multi-omics platforms for characterizing key aspects of weed biology, including the origins of weed species, weed classification, and the underlying genetic and molecular bases of important weedy traits such as crop-weed interactions, adaptability to different environments, photoperiodic flowering responses, and herbicide resistance. In addition, we discuss limitations to the application of multi-omics techniques in weed science, particularly compared with their extensive use in model plants and crops. In this regard, we provide a forward-looking perspective on the future application of multi-omics technologies to weed science research. These powerful tools hold great promise for comprehensively and efficiently unraveling the intricate molecular genetic mechanisms that underlie weedy traits. The resulting advances will facilitate the development of sustainable and highly effective weed management strategies, promoting greener practices in agriculture.

Abstract
Identification of translocator protein-related genes involved in bensulfuron-methyl (BSM) uptake and transport in rice could facilitate the development of herbicide-tolerant cultivars by inactivating them. This study found that the OsCNGC12 mutants not only reduced BSM uptake but also compromised the Ca2 ⁺ efflux caused by BSM in the roots, regulating dynamic equilibrium of Ca2 ⁺ inside the cell and conferring non-target-site tolerance to BSM.

Recurrent Selection of Echinochloa crus-galli with a Herbicide Mixture Reduces Progeny Sensitivity. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2023; 71:6871-6881.

Abstract
Herbicide mixtures are used to increase the spectrum of weed control and to manage weeds with target-site resistance to some herbicides. However, the effect of mixtures on the evolution of herbicide resistance caused by enhanced metabolism is unknown. This study evaluated the effect of a fenoxaprop-p-ethyl and imazethapyr mixture on the evolution of herbicide resistance in Echinochloa crus-galli using recurrent selection at sublethal doses. The progeny from second generations selected with the mixture had lower control than parental plants or the unselected progeny. GR50 increased 1.6- and 2.6-fold after two selection cycles with the mixture in susceptible (POP1-S) and imazethapyr-resistant (POP2-IR) biotypes, respectively. There was evidence that recurrent selection with this sublethal mixture had the potential to evolve cross-resistance to diclofop, cyhalofop, sethoxydim, and quinclorac. Mixture selection did not cause increased relative expression for a set of analyzed genes (CYP71AK2, CYP72A122, CYP72A258, CYP81A12, CYP81A14, CYP81A21, CYP81A22, and GST1). Fenoxaprop, rather than imazethapyr, is the main contributor to the decreased control in the progenies after recurrent selection with the mixture in low doses. This is the first study reporting the effect of a herbicide mixture at low doses on herbicide resistance evolution. The lack of control using the mixture may result in decreased herbicide sensitivity of the weed progenies. Using mixtures may select important detoxifying genes that have the potential to metabolize herbicides in patterns that cannot currently be predicted. The use of fully recommended herbicide rates in herbicide mixtures is recommended to reduce the risk of this type of resistance evolution.

Transcriptome changes in chlorsulfuron-treated plants are caused by acetolactate synthase inhibition and not induction of a herbicide detoxification system in Marchantia polymorpha. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 191:105370.

Abstract
A sensing mechanism in mammals perceives xenobiotics and induces the transcription of genes encoding proteins that detoxify these molecules. However, it is unclear if plants sense xenobiotics, and activate an analogous signalling system leading to their detoxification. Using the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, we tested the hypothesis that there is a sensing system in plants that perceives herbicides resulting in the increased transcription of genes encoding proteins that detoxify these herbicides. Consistent with the hypothesis, we show that chlorsulfuron-treatment induces changes in the M. polymorpha transcriptome. However, these transcriptome changes do not occur in chlorsulfuron (CS)-treated target site resistant mutants, where the gene encoding the target carries a mutation that confers resistance to chlorsulfuron. Instead, we show that inactivation of the chlorsulfuron target, acetolactate synthase (ALS) (also known as acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS)), is required for the transcriptome response. These data demonstrate that the transcriptome changes in chlorsulfuron-treated plants are caused by disrupted amino acid synthesis and metabolism resulting from acetolactate synthase inhibition, and indicate that the transcriptome changes are not caused by a herbicide sensing mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Echinochloa glabrescens Munro ex Hook. f. is one of the main Echinochloa spp. seriously invading Chinese rice fields and has evolved resistance to commonly used herbicides. Previously, an E. glabrescens population (LJ-02) with suspected resistance to the acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicide metamifop was collected. This study aimed to determine its resistance status to metamifop and investigate the internal molecular mechanisms of resistance. RESULTS Single-dose testing confirmed that the LJ-02 population had evolved resistance to metamifop. Gene sequencing and a relative expression assay of ACCase ruled out target-site based resistance to metamifop in LJ-02. Whole-plant bioassays revealed that, compared with the susceptible population XZ-01, LJ-02 was highly resistant to metamifop and exhibited cross-resistance to fenoxaprop-P-ethyl. Pretreatment with the known glutathione S-transferase (GST) inhibitor, 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD-Cl), largely reversed the resistance to metamifop by approximately 81%. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis indicated that the metabolic rates of one of the major metabolites of metamifop, N-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-N-methylpropionamide (HPFMA), were up to 383-fold faster in LJ-02 plants than in XZ-01 plants. There were higher basal and metamifop-inducible GST activities toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) in LJ-02 than in XZ-01. Six GST genes were metamifop-induced and overexpressed in the resistant LJ-02 population. CONCLUSION This study reports, for the first time, the occurrence of metabolic metamifop resistance in E. glabrescens worldwide. The high-level metamifop resistance in the LJ-02 population may mainly involve specific isoforms of GSTs that endow high catalytic activity and strong substrate specificity. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Diversity of Herbicide-Resistance Mechanisms of Avena fatua L. to Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase-Inhibiting Herbicides in the Bajio, Mexico. PLANTS 2022; 11:plants11131644.

Abstract
Herbicide resistance is an evolutionary process that affects entire agricultural regions’ yield and productivity. The high number of farms and the diversity of weed management can generate hot selection spots throughout the regions. Resistant biotypes can present a diversity of mechanisms of resistance and resistance factors depending on selective conditions inside the farm; this situation is similar to predictions by the geographic mosaic theory of coevolution. In Mexico, the agricultural region of the Bajio has been affected by herbicide resistance for 25 years. To date, Avena fatua L. is one of the most abundant and problematic weed species. The objective of this study was to determine the mechanism of resistance of biotypes with failures in weed control in 70 wheat and barley crop fields in the Bajio, Mexico. The results showed that 70% of farms have biotypes with target site resistance (TSR). The most common mutations were Trp–1999–Cys, Asp–2078–Gly, Ile–2041–Asn, and some of such mutations confer cross-resistance to ACCase-inhibiting herbicides. Metabolomic fingerprinting showed four different metabolic expression patterns. The results confirmed that in the Bajio, there exist multiple selection sites for both resistance mechanisms, which proves that this area can be considered as a geographic mosaic of resistance.

Abstract
Descurainia sophia L. (flixweeds) is a noxious broad-leaf weed infesting winter wheat fields in China that has evolved high resistance to tribenuron-methyl. In this work, a brand new gene CYP77B34 was cloned from tribenuron-methyl-resistant (TR) D. sophia and transferred into Arabidopsis thaliana, and the sensitivities of Arabidopsis with or without the CYP77B34 transgene to herbicides with a different mode of actions (MoAs) were tested. Compared to Arabidopsis expressing pCAMBIA1302-GFP (empty plasmid), Arabidopsis transferring pCAMBIA1302-CYP77B34 (recombinant plasmid) became resistant to acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicide tribenuron-methyl, protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO)-inhibiting herbicides carfentrazone-ethyl and oxyfluorfen. Cytochrome P450 inhibitor malathion could reverse the resistance to tribenuron-methyl, carfentrazone-ethyl and oxyfluorfen in transgenic Arabidopsis plants. In addition, the metabolic rates of tribenuron-methyl in Arabidopsis expressing CYP77B34 were significantly higher than those in Arabidopsis expressing pCAMBIA1302-GFP. Other than that, the transgenic plants showed some tolerance to very-long-chain fatty acid synthesis (VLCFAs)-inhibiting herbicide pretilachlor and photosystem (PS) II-inhibiting herbicide bromoxynil. Subcellular localization revealed that the CYP77B34 protein was located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These results clearly indicated that CYP77B34 mediated D. sophia resistance to tribenuron-methyl and may have been involved in D. sophia cross-resistance to carfentrazone-ethyl, oxyfluorfen, pretilachlor and bromoxynil.

Abstract
Safeners are chemical compounds used to improve selectivity and safety of herbicides in crops by activating genes that enhance herbicide metabolic detoxification. The genes activated by safeners in crops are similar to the genes causing herbicide resistance through increased metabolism in weeds. This work investigated the effect of the safener isoxadifen-ethyl (IS) in combination with fenoxaprop-p-ethyl (FE) on the evolution of herbicide resistance in Echinochloa crus-galli under recurrent selection. Reduced susceptibility was observed in the progeny after recurrent selection with both FE alone and with FE + IS for two generations (G2) compared to the parental population (G0). The resistance index found in G2 after FE + IS selection was similar as when FE was used alone, demonstrating that the safener did not increase the rate or magnitude of herbicide resistance evolution. G2 progeny selected with FE alone and the combination of FE + IS had increased survival to herbicides from other mechanisms of action relative to the parental G0 population. One biotype of G2 progeny had increased constitutive expression of glutathione-S-transferase (GST1) after recurrent selection with FE + IS. G2 progeny had increased expression of two P450 genes (CYP71AK2 and CYP72A122) following treatment with FE, while G2 progeny had increased expression of five P450 genes (CYP71AK2, CYP72A258, CYP81A12, CYP81A14 and CYP81A21) after treatment with FE + IS. Repeated selection with low doses of FE with or without the safener IS decreased E. crus-galli control and showed potential for cross-resistance evolution. Addition of safener did not further decrease herbicide sensitivity in second generation progeny; however, the recurrent use of safener in combination with FE resulted in safener-induced increased expression of several CYP genes. This is the first report using safener as an additional factor to study herbicide resistance evolution in weeds under experimental recurrent selection.

A high diversity of mechanisms endows ALS-inhibiting herbicide resistance in the invasive common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.). Sci Rep 2021; 11:19904. [PMID: 34620913 PMCID: PMC8497474 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-99306-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. (common ragweed) is a globally invasive, allergenic, troublesome arable weed. ALS-inhibiting herbicides are broadly used in Europe to control ragweed in agricultural fields. Recently, ineffective treatments were reported in France. Target site resistance (TSR), the only resistance mechanism described so far for ragweed, was sought using high-throughput genotyping-by-sequencing in 213 field populations randomly sampled based on ragweed presence. Additionally, non-target site resistance (NTSR) was sought and its prevalence compared with that of TSR in 43 additional field populations where ALS inhibitor failure was reported, using herbicide sensitivity bioassay coupled with ALS gene Sanger sequencing. Resistance was identified in 46 populations and multiple, independent resistance evolution demonstrated across France. We revealed an unsuspected diversity of ALS alleles underlying resistance (9 amino-acid substitutions involved in TSR detected across 24 populations). Remarkably, NTSR was ragweed major type of resistance to ALS inhibitors. NTSR was present in 70.5% of the resistant plants and 74.1% of the fields harbouring resistance. A variety of NTSR mechanisms endowing different resistance patterns evolved across populations. Our study provides novel data on ragweed resistance to herbicides, and emphasises that local resistance management is as important as mitigating gene flow from populations where resistance has arisen.

Abstract
Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson (Palmer amaranth) is considered a problematic and troublesome weed species in many crops in the USA, partly because of its ability to evolve resistance to herbicides. In this study, we explored the mechanism of resistance in a trifluralin-resistant A. palmeri accession collected from Arkansas, USA. Dose-response assays using agar plates demonstrated an EC50 (effective concentration that reduces root length by 50%) of 1.02 µM trifluralin compared to 0.39 µM obtained in the susceptible accession. Thus, under these conditions, the resistant accession required 2.6 times more trifluralin to inhibit root length by 50%. Seeds in the presence or absence of the cytochrome P450-inhibitior malathion displayed a differential response with no significant influence on root length, suggesting that resistance is not P450-mediated. In addition, application of 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Cl), a glutathione S-transferase (GST) inhibitor, showed significant differences in root length, indicating that GSTs are most likely involved in the resistance mechanism. Sequencing of α- and β-tubulin genes revealed no single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously described between accessions. In addition, relative gene copy number of α- and β-tubulin genes were estimated; however, both resistant and susceptible accessions displayed similar gene copy numbers. Overall, our results revealed that GST-mediated metabolism contributes to trifluralin resistance in this A. palmeri accession from Arkansas.

Non-target Site Herbicide Resistance Is Conferred by Two Distinct Mechanisms in Black-Grass ( Alopecurus myosuroides). FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2021; 12:636652.

Abstract
Non-target site resistance (NTSR) to herbicides in black-grass (Alopecurus myosuroides) results in enhanced tolerance to multiple chemistries and is widespread in Northern Europe. To help define the underpinning mechanisms of resistance, global transcriptome and biochemical analysis have been used to phenotype three NTSR black-grass populations. These comprised NTSR1 black-grass from the classic Peldon field population, which shows broad-ranging resistance to post-emergence herbicides; NTSR2 derived from herbicide-sensitive (HS) plants repeatedly selected for tolerance to pendimethalin; and NTSR3 selected from HS plants for resistance to fenoxaprop-P-ethyl. NTSR in weeds is commonly associated with enhanced herbicide metabolism catalyzed by glutathione transferases (GSTs) and cytochromes P450 (CYPs). As such, the NTSR populations were assessed for their ability to detoxify chlorotoluron, which is detoxified by CYPs and fenoxaprop-P-ethyl, which is acted on by GSTs. As compared with HS plants, enhanced metabolism toward both herbicides was determined in the NTSR1 and NTSR2 populations. In contrast, the NTSR3 plants showed no increased detoxification capacity, demonstrating that resistance in this population was not due to enhanced metabolism. All resistant populations showed increased levels of AmGSTF1, a protein functionally linked to NTSR and enhanced herbicide metabolism. Enhanced AmGSTF1 was associated with increased levels of the associated transcripts in the NTSR1 and NTSR2 plants, but not in NTSR3, suggestive of both pre- and post-transcriptional regulation. The related HS, NTSR2, and NTSR3 plants were subject to global transcriptome sequencing and weighted gene co-expression network analysis to identify modules of genes with coupled regulatory functions. In the NTSR2 plants, modules linked to detoxification were identified, with many similarities to the transcriptome of NTSR1 black-grass. Critical detoxification genes included members of the CYP81A family and tau and phi class GSTs. The NTSR2 transcriptome also showed network similarities to other (a)biotic stresses of plants and multidrug resistance in humans. In contrast, completely different gene networks were activated in the NTSR3 plants, showing similarity to the responses to cold, osmotic shock and fungal infection determined in cereals. Our results demonstrate that NTSR in black-grass can arise from at least two distinct mechanisms, each involving complex changes in gene regulatory networks.

Abstract
Rapid and widespread evolution of multiple herbicide resistance in global weed species endowed by increased capacity to metabolize (degrade) herbicides (metabolic resistance) is a great threat to herbicide sustainability and global food production. Metabolic resistance in the economically damaging crop weed species Lolium rigidum is well known but a molecular understanding has been lacking. We purified a metabolic resistant (R) subset from a field evolved R L. rigidum population. The R, the herbicide susceptible (S) and derived F2 populations were used for candidate herbicide resistance gene discovery by RNA sequencing. A P450 gene CYP81A10v7 was identified with higher expression in R vs. S plants. Transgenic rice overexpressing this Lolium CYP81A10v7 gene became highly resistant to acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase- and acetolactate synthase-inhibiting herbicides (diclofop-methyl, tralkoxydim, chlorsulfuron) and moderately resistant to hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase-inhibiting herbicide (mesotrione), photosystem II-inhibiting herbicides (atrazine and chlorotoluron) and the tubulin-inhibiting herbicide trifluralin. This wide cross-resistance profile to many dissimilar herbicides in CYP81A10v7 transgenic rice generally reflects what is evident in the R L. rigidum. This report clearly showed that a single P450 gene in a cross-pollinated weed species L. rigidum confers resistance to herbicides of at least five modes of action across seven herbicide chemistries.

Abstract
Annual ryegrass species (Lolium spp.) infest cereal crops worldwide. Ryegrass populations with multiple resistance to the acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) and acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors are an increasing problem in several European countries. We investigated the resistance pattern and level of resistance in ryegrass populations collected in Denmark, Greece and Italy and studied the diversity of mechanisms endowing resistance, both target-site and metabolism based. All populations showed high resistance indexes (RI) to the ALS inhibitors, iodosufuron-methyl-sodium + mesosulfuron-methyl (RI from 8 to 70), whereas the responses to the two ACCase inhibitors, clodinafop-propargyl and pinoxaden, differed. The Greek and Italian populations were moderately to highly resistant to clodinafop (RI > 8) and showed low to moderate resistance to pinoxaden (RI ranged from 3 to 13) except for one Italian population. In contrast, the Danish Lolium populations showed low to moderate resistance to clodinafop (RI ranged from 2 to 7) and only one population was resistant to pinoxaden. Different mutant ACCase alleles (Leu1781, Cys2027, Asn2041, Val2041, Gly2078, Arg2088, Ala2096) and ALS alleles (Gly122, Ala197, Gln197, Leu197, Ser197, Thr197, Val205, Asn376, Glu376, Leu574) endowing resistance were detected in the Greek and Italian populations. In several plants, no mutated ALS and ACCase alleles were found showing a great heterogeneity within and among the Greek and Italian populations. Conversely, no mutant ACCase alleles were identified in the four Danish populations and only one mutant ALS allele (Leu574) was detected in two Danish populations. The expression level of nitronate monooxygenase (NMO), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and cytochrome P450s (CYP72A1 and CYP72A2) varied broadly among populations and individual plants within the populations. Constitutive up-regulation of GST, CYP72A1 and CYP72A2 was detected in resistant plants respect to susceptible plants in one Danish and one Italian population. It appears that the mechanisms underlying resistance are rather complex and diversified among Lolium spp. populations from the three countries, coevolution of both target-site resistance and metabolic based herbicide resistance appears to be a common feature in Denmark and Italy. This must be considered and carefully evaluated in adopting resistance management strategies to control Lolium spp. in cereal crops.

Abstract
Knowledge about the mechanisms of herbicide resistance provide valuable insights into evolving weed populations in response to selection pressure and should be used as a basis for designing management strategies for herbicide-resistant weeds. The selection pressure associated with reactive management against glyphosate-resistant Lolium spp. populations would have favored the herbicide resistance to ACCase- and ALS-inhibitors. This work was aimed to determine the sensitivity of 80 Argentinean Lolium spp. populations to ALS- and ACCase-inhibitor herbicides for use in wheat or barley and to study the mechanisms of resistance involved. Sensitivity to pinoxaden and iodosulfuron-mesosulfuron were positively correlated (r = 0.84), even though both affect different target sites. Inhibitors of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) increased the sensitivity to pinoxaden and iodosulfuron-mesosulfuron in 94% of herbicide-resistant populations and target-site ACCase resistance mutations were detected only in two cases. Polymorphic variants were obtained with a pair primer designed on P450 sequences, cluster analysis discriminated around 80% of susceptible and P450-metabolic resistant plants sampled from a single population or different populations. Five markers corresponding to herbicide sensitivity were identified to be significantly associated with phenotypic variance in plants. Resistance to ALS- and ACCase-inhibitor herbicides were closely related, challenging the rotation of herbicides of both sites of action as a practice against resistance. In that sense, the use of pinoxaden and iodosulfuron-mesosulfuron would have provoked a selection on P450 genes that conduced a convergence of P450-metabolism based resistant Lolium spp. populations, which was detected by markers in a contribution to elucidate the molecular basis of this type of resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asia minor bluegrass (Polypogon fugax Nees ex Steud.) is an invasive grass species severely infesting wheat and canola fields in China. In May 2017, a suspected resistant P. fugax population AHHY that survived fenoxaprop-P-ethyl applied at its field-recommended rate was collected from a wheat field in Huaiyuan County, Anhui Province, China. This study aimed to determine the resistance profile of AHHY to acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors and to investigate its mechanisms of resistance to fenoxaprop. RESULTS Single-dose testing indicated that the AHHY population had evolved resistance to fenoxaprop. The partial carboxyltransferase domain of ACCase in P. fugax was amplified and compared. Four loci encoding plastidic ACCase were isolated from both the resistant and sensitive individuals. Combining gene sequencing with the derived cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence assay, we found that 100% of the plants of AHHY carried Trp-1999-Ser mutation in their ACCase1,1-2 allele. Whole-plant dose-response bioassay indicated that AHHY was highly resistant to fenoxaprop and pinoxaden (resistance index (RI) ≥ 10) with low resistance to clodinafop-propargyl, sethoxydim, and clethodim (2 ≤ RI < 5). Pre-treatment with piperonyl butoxide largely reduced (55%) the weed's resistance to fenoxaprop. Both basal and fenoxaprop-induced glutathione S-transferases activities toward 1-chloro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene were significantly higher in resistant plants than in susceptible plants. CONCLUSION This study revealed that P. fugax had multiple alleles encoding plastidic ACCase, and reported for the first time the occurrence of Trp-1999-Ser mutation and non-target-site resistance in this species. Fenoxaprop resistance in AHHY plants was conferred by target-site mutation and P450s-involved enhanced metabolism. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The introduction of glyphosate-resistant (GR) crops revolutionized weed management; however, the improper use of this technology has selected for a wide range of weeds resistant to glyphosate, referred to as superweeds. We characterized the high glyphosate resistance level of an Amaranthus hybridus population (GRH)-a superweed collected in a GR-soybean field from Cordoba, Argentina-as well as the resistance mechanisms that govern it in comparison to a susceptible population (GSH). The GRH population was 100.6 times more resistant than the GSH population. Reduced absorption and metabolism of glyphosate, as well as gene duplication of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) or its overexpression did not contribute to this resistance. However, GSH plants translocated at least 10% more 14C-glyphosate to the rest of the plant and roots than GRH plants at 9 h after treatment. In addition, a novel triple amino acid substitution from TAP (wild type, GSH) to IVS (triple mutant, GRH) was identified in the EPSPS gene of the GRH. The nucleotide substitutions consisted of ATA102, GTC103 and TCA106 instead of ACA102, GCG103, and CCA106, respectively. The hydrogen bond distances between Gly-101 and Arg-105 positions increased from 2.89 Å (wild type) to 2.93 Å (triple-mutant) according to the EPSPS structural modeling. These results support that the high level of glyphosate resistance of the GRH A. hybridus population was mainly governed by the triple mutation TAP-IVS found of the EPSPS target site, but the impaired translocation of herbicide also contributed in this resistance.

Abstract
The antioxidant defense system acts to maintain the equilibrium between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the elimination of toxic levels of ROS in plants. Overproduction and accumulation of ROS results in metabolic disorders and can lead to the oxidative destruction of the cell. Several stress factors cause ROS overproduction and trigger oxidative stress in crops and weeds. Recently, the involvement of the antioxidant system in weed interference and herbicide treatment in crops and weeds has been the subject of investigation. In this review, we address ROS production and plant mechanisms of defense, alterations in the antioxidant system at transcriptional and enzymatic levels in crops induced by weed interference, and herbicide exposure in crops and weeds. We also describe the mechanisms of action in herbicides that lead to ROS generation in target plants. Lastly, we discuss the relations between antioxidant systems and weed biology and evolution, as well as the interactive effects of herbicide treatment on these factors.

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
The high activity and broad weed spectrum of BS has made it widely used in China. However, accidental crop injuries, particularly occurring in Jiangsu, Hunan, Hubei and Heilongjiang provinces in recent years, have resulted in limiting the application of BS in China. In this study, glutathione homeostasis was measured in the contrasting sensitivity of indica and japonica rice cultivar after bispyribac-sodium (BS) treatment. The results showed that japonica rice cultivar Nanjing 9108 was more sensitive to BS than indica rice Nanjing 11 and indica-hybrid cultivar Guangliangyou 6326. In response to the exposure of BS in all rice cultivars, especially Nanjing 9108, the perturbation of glutathione homeostasis occurred, including the decreased reduced glutathione (GSH) and increased oxidized glutathione (GSSG). These results were supported by increased activities of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) in Nanjing 11 and Guangliangyou 6326. Further tests revealed that when Nanjing 11 was pretreated with the glutathione-depleting agents L-buthionine-sulfoximine (BSO) or diethylmaleate (DEM), the GSH levels, the activity of GSTs, and the gene expression levels of GR and GSTs decreased, finally increasing the phytotoxicity of BS. The aforementioned DEM inhibitory responses were further rescued by exogenously applied GSH. In contrast, the pretreatment of glutathione or N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) not only increased the contents of GSH, the activities of GSTs, and the expression level of GR and GSTs gene, but also alleviated BS phytotoxicity in Nanjing 9108. In both cultivars, DEM increased phytotoxicity and GSH partially reversed this. This study suggests that increasing tolerance to BS was able to allow glutathione homeostasis to recover in indica rice cultivar compared with japonica rice cultivar.

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
Transcriptomic profiling, specifically via RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), is becoming one of the more commonly used methods for investigating non-target site resistance (NTSR) to herbicides due to its high throughput capabilities and utility in organisms with little to no previous sequence information. A review of the weed science RNA-seq literature revealed some basic principles behind generating quality data from these types of studies. First, studies that included more replicates per biotype and took steps to control for genetic background had significantly better control of false positives and, consequently, shorter lists of potential resistance genes to sift through. Pooling of biological replicates prior to sequencing was successful in some cases, but likely contributed to an overall increase in the false discovery rate. Although the inclusion of herbicide-treated samples was common across most of the studies, it ultimately introduced difficulties in interpretation of the final results due to challenges in capturing the right sampling window after treatment and to the induction of stress responses in the injured herbicide-sensitive plants. RNA-seq is an effective tool for NTSR gene discovery, but careful consideration should be given to finding the most powerful and cost-effective balance between replicate number, sequencing depth and treatment number. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resistance to the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD)-inhibiting herbicide tembotrione in an Amaranthus palmeri population from Nebraska (NER) has previously been confirmed to be attributable to enhanced metabolism. The objective of this study was to identify and quantify the metabolites formed in Nebraska susceptible (NES) and resistant (NER) biotypes. RESULTS NER and NES formed the same metabolites. Tembotrione metabolism in NER differed from that in NES in that resistant plants showed faster 4-hydroxylation followed by glycosylation. The T50 value (time for 50% production of the maximum 4-hydroxylation product) was 4.9 and 11.9 h for NER and NES, respectively. This process is typically catalyzed by cytochrome P450 enzymes. Metabolism differences between NER and NES were most prominent under 28 °C conditions and herbicide application at the four-leaf stage. CONCLUSION Further research with the aim of identifying the gene or genes responsible for conferring metabolic resistance to HPPD inhibitors should focus on cytochrome P450s. Such research is important because non-target-site-based resistance (NTSR) poses the threat of cross resistance to other chemical classes of HPPD inhibitors, other herbicide modes of action, or even unknown herbicides. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The evolution of resistant weed populations in response to intensive herbicide selection pressure is a global issue. Resistance to post-emergence herbicides is widespread, whereas soil-applied pre-emergence herbicides can often remain effective. For example, in Australia pyroxasulfone is a new pre-emergence soil-applied herbicide which provides control of Lolium rigidum populations resistant to multiple post-emergence herbicide modes of action. A fundamental knowledge of the genetic basis of metabolic resistance in weeds is important for understanding plant evolution pathways under herbicide selection and sustaining long-term weed resistance management. In this study we define the mechanistic basis of resistance to pyroxasulfone in a L. rigidum population. TLC provides evidence that pyroxasulfone resistance is metabolism-based with approximately 88% of parental [14C]-labelled pyroxasulfone metabolized in resistant plants 24 h after the herbicide treatment. HPLC-MS allowed identification of several metabolites of pyroxasulfone formed via a glutathione (GSH) conjugation pathway in pyroxasulfone-resistant L. rigidum plants. However, the initial pyroxasulfone-glutathione conjugate was not found likely due to its labile nature. The observed constitutive over-expression from six to nine-fold of two putative resistance-endowing GST genes was associated with the pyroxasulfone resistance phenotype. The most logical conclusion, based on the data thus far available, is that rapid detoxification of pyroxasulfone mediates pyroxasulfone resistance in L. rigidum plants. Future research is warranted to confirm the hypothesis advanced by this study of rapid pyroxasulfone metabolism due to GSH conjugation mediated by GST over-expressed in pyroxasulfone-resistant plants which similarly leads to the production of distinctive GSH-pyroxasulfone metabolites in L. rigidum and wheat.

Abstract
Descurainia sophia is one of the most notorious broadleaf weeds in China and has evolved extremely high resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicide tribenuron-methyl. The target-site resistance due to ALS gene mutations was well-known, while the non-target-site resistance is not yet well-characterized. Metabolic resistance, which is conferred by enhanced rates of herbicide metabolism, is the most important NTSR. To explore the mechanism of metabolic resistance underlying resistant (R) D. sophia plants, tribenuron-methyl uptake and metabolism levels, qPCR reference gene stability, and candidate P450 genes expression patterns were investigated. The results of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis indicated that the metabolic rates of tribenuron-methyl in R plants was significantly faster than in susceptible (S) plants, and this metabolism differences can be eliminated by P450 inhibitor malathion. The genes for 18S rRNA and TIP41-like were identified as the most suitable reference genes using programs of BestKeeper, NormFinder, and geNorm. The P450 gene CYP96A146 constitutively overexpressed in R plants compared to S plants; this overexpression in R plants can be suppressed by malathion. Taken together, a higher expression level of P450 genes, leading to higher tribenuron-methyl metabolism, appears to be responsible for metabolic resistance to tribenuron-methyl in R D. sophia plants.

Herbicide Safeners Decrease Sensitivity to Herbicides Inhibiting Acetolactate-Synthase and Likely Activate Non-Target-Site-Based Resistance Pathways in the Major Grass Weed Lolium sp. (Rye-Grass).

Abstract
Herbicides are currently pivotal to control weeds and sustain food security. Herbicides must efficiently kill weeds while being as harmless as possible for crops, even crops taxonomically close to weeds. To increase their selectivity toward crops, some herbicides are sprayed in association with safeners that are bioactive compounds exacerbating herbicide-degrading pathways reputedly specifically in crops. However, exacerbated herbicide metabolism is also a key mechanism underlying evolved non-target-site-based resistance to herbicides (NTSR) in weeds. This raised the issue of a possible role of safeners on NTSR evolution in weeds. We investigated a possible effect of the respective field rates of the two broadly used safeners cloquintocet-mexyl and mefenpyr-diethyl on the sensitivity of the troublesome global weed Lolium sp. (rye-grass) to the major herbicides inhibiting acetolactate-synthase (ALS) pyroxsulam and iodosulfuron + mesosulfuron, respectively. Three Lolium sp. populations were studied in three series of experiments. The first experiment series compared the frequencies of plants surviving application of each herbicide alone or in association with its safener. Safener co-application caused a net increase ranging from 5.0 to 46.5% in the frequency of plants surviving the field rate of their associated herbicide. In a second series of experiments, safener effect was assessed on individual plant sensitivity using vegetative propagation. A reduction in sensitivity to pyroxsulam and to iodosulfuron + mesosulfuron was observed for 44.4 and 11.1% of the plants in co-treatment with cloquintocet-mexyl and mefenpyr-diethyl, respectively. A third series of experiments investigated safener effect on the expression level of 19 Lolium sp. NTSR marker genes. Safeners showed an enhancing effect on the expression level of 10 genes. Overall, we demonstrated that cloquintocet-mexyl and mefenpyr-diethyl both reduced the sensitivity of Lolium sp. to their associated ALS-inhibiting herbicide and most likely exacerbated herbicide-degrading secondary metabolism pathways. This suggests that genetic variation for safener response is present in Lolium sp. Thus, a possible, uninvestigated way to NTSR evolution could be selection for increased responsiveness to safener action. Delivering safeners exclusively to the crop could mitigate the risk for NTSR evolution in weeds.

Abstract
Non-target-site resistance (NTSR) to herbicides is a worldwide concern for weed control. However, as the dominant NTSR mechanism in weeds, metabolic resistance is not yet well-characterized at the genetic level. For this study, we have identified a shortawn foxtail (Alopecurus aequalis Sobol.) population displaying both TSR and NTSR to mesosulfuron-methyl and fenoxaprop-P-ethyl, yet the molecular basis for this NTSR remains unclear. To investigate the mechanisms of metabolic resistance, an RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis was used to find candidate genes that may confer metabolic resistance to the herbicide mesosulfuron-methyl in this plant population. The RNA-Seq libraries generated 831,846,736 clean reads. The de novo transcriptome assembly yielded 95,479 unigenes (averaging 944 bp in length) that were assigned putative annotations. Among these, a total of 29,889 unigenes were assigned to 67 GO terms that contained three main categories, and 14,246 unigenes assigned to 32 predicted KEGG metabolic pathways. Global gene expression was measured using the reads generated from the untreated control (CK), water-only control (WCK), and mesosulfuron-methyl treatment (T) of R and susceptible (S). Contigs that showed expression differences between mesosulfuron-methyl-treated R and S biotypes, and between mesosulfuron-methyl-treated, water-treated and untreated R plants were selected for further quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) validation analyses. Seventeen contigs were consistently highly expressed in the resistant A. aequalis plants, including four cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CytP450) genes, two glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes, two glucosyltransferase (GT) genes, two ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes, and seven additional contigs with functional annotations related to oxidation, hydrolysis, and plant stress physiology. These 17 contigs could serve as major candidate genes for contributing to metabolic mesosulfuron-methyl resistance; hence they deserve further functional study. This is the first large-scale transcriptome-sequencing study to identify NTSR genes in A. aequalis that uses the Illumina platform. This work demonstrates that NTSR is likely driven by the differences in the expression patterns of a set of genes. The assembled transcriptome data presented here provide a valuable resource for A. aequalis biology, and should facilitate the study of herbicide resistance at the molecular level in this and other weed species.
