Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of herbicide safeners effectively minimises crop damage while maintaining the full efficacy of herbicides. The present study aimed to assess the potential protective effects of neral (NR) as a safener, in order to mitigate injury caused by fenoxaprop-p-ethyl (FE) on rice. RESULTS The alleviating effect of NR was similar to that of the safener isoxadifen-ethyl (IE). The root elongation of rice was significantly promoted under the FE + NR and FE + IE treatments, as compared to the FE treatment. The transcriptome analysis further suggested that the effects of NR treatment on plant metabolic pathways differed from those of IE treatment. In total, 895 and 47 up-differentially expressed genes induced by NR (NR-inducible genes) and IE (IE-inducible genes) were identified. NR-inducible genes were mainly enriched in phytohormone synthesis and signalling response, including 'response to brassinosteroid', 'response to jasmonic acid', 'response to ethylene', 'brassinosteroid metabolic process', 'brassinosteroid biosynthesis' and 'plant hormone signal transduction'. In contrast, IE-inducible genes were predominantly enriched in glutathione metabolism. The activity of glutathione S-transferase was found to be increased after IE treatment, whereas no significant increase was observed following NR treatment. Moreover, several transcription factor genes, such as those encoding AP2/ERF-ERF and (basic helix-loop-helix) bHLH were found to be significantly induced by NR treatment. CONCLUSION This is the first report of the utilisation of NR as an herbicide safener. The results of this study suggest the toxicity of FE to rice is mitigated by NR through a distinct mechanism compared to IE. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Glutathione Transferase Photoaffinity Labeling Displays GST Induction by Safeners and Pathogen Infection. PLANT & CELL PHYSIOLOGY 2024; 65:128-141.

Abstract
Glutathione transferases (GSTs) represent a large and diverse enzyme family involved in the detoxification of small molecules by glutathione conjugation in crops, weeds and model plants. In this study, we introduce an easy and quick assay for photoaffinity labeling of GSTs to study GSTs globally in various plant species. The small-molecule probe contains glutathione, a photoreactive group and a minitag for coupling to reporter tags via click chemistry. Under UV irradiation, this probe quickly and robustly labels GSTs in crude protein extracts of different plant species. Purification and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of labeled proteins from Arabidopsis identified 10 enriched GSTs from the Phi(F) and Tau(U) classes. Photoaffinity labeling of GSTs demonstrated GST induction in wheat seedlings upon treatment with safeners and in Arabidopsis leaves upon infection with avirulent bacteria. Treatment of Arabidopsis with salicylic acid (SA) analog benzothiadiazole (BTH) induces GST labeling independent of NPR1, the master regulator of SA. Six Phi- and Tau-class GSTs that are induced upon BTH treatment were identified, and their labeling was confirmed upon transient overexpression. These data demonstrate that GST photoaffinity labeling is a useful approach to studying GST induction in crude extracts of different plant species upon different types of stress.

Cloning and functional characterization of a tau class glutathione transferase associated with haloxyfop-P-methyl resistance in Digitaria sanguinalis. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2023; 79:3950-3958. [PMID: 37248658 DOI: 10.1002/ps.7588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Haloxyfop-P-methyl, an acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicide, has been extensively used to control grass weeds. Widespread use of haloxyfop-P-methyl in cotton fields in China has led to the development of glutathione transferase (GST)-mediated resistance in Digitaria sanguinalis. An RNA-seq analysis identified DsGSTU1, a tau class glutathione transferase from the D. sanguinalis transcriptome as a potential candidate. Here, we cloned DsGSTU1 from D. sanguinalis young leaf tissues and subsequently characterized DsGSTU1 by a combination of sequence analysis, as well as functional heterologous expression in rice. RESULTS The full-length coding DNA sequence (CDS) of DsGSTU1 is 717 bp in length. Higher DsGSTU1 expression was observed in haloxyfop-P-methyl-resistant (HR) D. sanguinalis than in haloxyfop-P-methyl-susceptible (HS) plants. Overexpression of the DsGSTU1 gene was confirmed by transformation into the wild-type (WT) Nipponbare rice with pBWA(V)HS, a recombinant expression vector. GST activity in transgenic rice seedlings was 1.18-1.40-fold higher than the WT rice seedlings before and after haloxyfop-P-methyl treatment, respectively. Additionally, transgenic rice seedlings overexpressing DsGSTU1 were less sensitive to haloxyfop-P-methyl. CONCLUSION Our combined findings suggest that DsGSTU1 is involved in metabolic resistance to haloxyfop-P-methyl in D. sanguinalis. A better understanding of the major genes contributing to herbicide-resistant D. sanguinalis facilitates the development of resistance management strategies for this global invasive grass weed. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2023; 179:108185. [PMID: 37688810 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2023.108185] [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: 06/17/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/03/2023] [Indexed: 09/11/2023]
Abstract
As a representative variety of diamide insecticides, cyantraniliprole has broad application prospects. In this study, the fate and risk of cyantraniliprole and its main metabolite J9Z38 in a water-sediment system were investigated. The present result showed that more J9Z38 was adsorbed in the sediment at the end of exposure. However, the bioaccumulation capacity of cyantraniliprole in zebrafish was higher than that of J9Z38. Cyantraniliprole had stronger influence on the antioxidant system and detoxification system of zebrafish than J9Z38. Moreover, cyantraniliprole induced more significant oxidative stress effect and more differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in zebrafish. Cyantraniliprole had significantly influence on the expression of RyR-receptor-related genes, which was confirmed by resolving their binding modes with key receptor proteins using AlphaFold2 and molecular docking techniques. In the sediment, both cyantraniliprole and J9Z38 had inhibitory effects on microbial community structure diversity and metabolic function, especially cyantraniliprole. The methane metabolism pathway, mediated by methanogens such as Methanolinea, Methanoregula, and Methanosaeta, may be the main pathway of degradation of cyantraniliprole and J9Z38 in sediments. The present results demonstrated that metabolism can reduce the environmental risk of cyantraniliprole in water-sediment system to a certain extent.

Sun L, Yang M, Su W, Xu H, Xue F, Lu C, Wu R. Transcriptomic analysis of maize uncovers putative genes involved in metabolic detoxification under four safeners treatment. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 194:105465. [PMID: 37532342 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2023.105465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
Isoxadifen-ethyl (IDF) and cyprosulfamide (CSA) can effectively protect maize from nicosulfuron (NIC) injury, while mefenpyr-diethyl (MPR) and fenchlorazole-ethyl (FCO) did not. Their chemical diversity and requirement to use them in combination with the corresponding herbicides suggest that their elicitation of gene expression are complex and whether it is associated with the safening activity remains elusive. In this study, our first objective was to determine whether or not the ability of four safeners to enhance the metabolic rate of nicosulfuron. It was found that nicosulfuron degradation in maize was accelerated by IDF and CSA, but not by FCO and MPR. Transcriptomic analysis showed that the number of genes induced by IDF and CSA were larger than that induced by FCO and MPR. Overall, 34 genes associated with detoxification were identified, including glutathione S-transferase (GST), cytochrome P450 (CYP450), UDP-glucosyltransferase (UGT), transporter and serine. Moreover, 14 detoxification genes were screened for further verification by real-time PCR in two maize inbred lines. Two maize inbred lines exhibited high expression levels of four genes (GST31, GST39, AGXT2 and ADH) after IDF treatment. GST6, GST19, MATE, SCPL18 and UF3GT were specifically up-regulated in telerant maize inbred line under IDF and IDF + NIC treatments. Seven genes, namely GST31, GST6, GST19, UF3GT, MATE, ADH and SCPL18, are induced by IDF and CSA to play a vital role in regulating the detoxification process of NIC. Accordingly, the GST activity in maize was accelerated by IDF and CSA, but not by FCO and MPR. This result is consistent with transcriptome and metabolic data.These results indicate that the mitigation of NIC damage is associated with enhanced herbicide metabolism. IDF and CSA were more effective in protecting maize from NIC injury due to their ability to enhance the detoxification of specific types of herbicides, compared to FCO and MPR. The chemical specificity of four safeners is attributed to the up-regulated genes related to the detoxification pathway.

Abstract
Herbicide safeners are agricultural chemicals that protect crops from herbicide injury and improve the safety of herbicides and the effectiveness of weed control. Safeners induce and enhance the tolerance of crops to herbicides through the synergism of multiple mechanisms. The principal mechanism is that the metabolic rate of the herbicide in the crop is accelerated by safeners, resulting in the damaging concentration at the site of action being reduced. We focused on discussing and summarizing the multiple mechanisms of safeners to protect crops in this review. It is also emphasized how safeners alleviate herbicide phytotoxicity to crops by regulating the detoxification process and conducting perspectives on future research on the action mechanism of safeners at the molecular level.

Abstract
Glyphosate, one of the most widely used herbicides, plays an important role in controlling weeds and ensuring crop production. While using glyphosate, adjuvants are commonly added to improve its deposition on weeds and control efficacy. However, changes in weed leaf surface characteristics may reduce glyphosate penetration and contribute to evolved glyphosate resistance. Therefore, it is significant to introduce an improved method for regularizing leaf surface characterization and guide adjuvant selection to improve glyphosate efficacy. In this work, surface characteristics of typical weed leaves have been systematically investigated by 3D surface analysis and scanning electron microscopy, finally quantified by apparent surface free energy (ASFE) due to its comprehensive and quantitative evaluation of leaf surfaces. Moreover, the relationship between the weed leaf surface characteristics and the retention of glyphosate on weeds was established, further related to the control efficacy against weeds. To maximize the utilization rate of glyphosate, the types and concentrations of adjuvants should be regulated according to the ASFE of weeds. Our findings not only regularize the surface properties of weed leaves but also reveal their influencing mechanism on the deposition and biological activity of glyphosate, which provide effective guidance for the use of glyphosate.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2022; 78:2287-2298.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some herbicides are commercially formulated with safeners to increase crop selectivity. Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl is formulated with the safener isoxadifen-ethyl for Echinochloa crus-galli control in rice. Safeners act on crops by increasing herbicide metabolism, but this effect may also occur in weeds. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the safener isoxadifen-ethyl on the resistance to fenoxaprop-p-ethyl in a biotype of E. crus-galli. RESULTS A screening of 52 biotypes identified lack of control in the biotype SANTPAT-R treated with the recommended dose of 69 g ha-1 of the commercial formulation of fenoxaprop-p-ethyl with the safener isoxadifen-ethyl. While this biotype survived doses greater than 2208 g ha-1 of the formulation fenoxaprop-p-ethyl + isoxadifen-ethyl, it was killed with 69 g ha-1 of fenoxaprop-p-ethyl without the safener. A glutathione-s-transferase (GST) enzymes inhibitor reduced the resistance factor in two dose-response curves. A minor effect of a CytP450 inhibitor was observed. The previous spraying of the safener isoxadifen-ethyl followed by fenoxaprop-p-ethyl induced survival in the resistant but not in the susceptible biotype. The GST1 and GSTF1 genes were up-regulated in the resistant biotype. ACCase gene mutations were not found, and no cross-resistance to other ACCase inhibitors was identified. CONCLUSION The safener isoxadifen-ethyl present in the commercial herbicide formulation of fenoxaprop-p-ethyl is associated with resistance in the E. crus-galli SANTPAT-R biotype. This resistance is related with herbicide metabolization mediated by GST pathways. This is the first field-selected weed biotype with herbicide resistance due to safener presence in the sprayed formulation. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Monitoring agrochemical distribution within plant tissues delivers significant insights into the adsorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of agrochemicals. Detection and imaging of the safener cyprosulfamide (CSA) and the herbicide thiencarbazone-methyl (TCM) after micro-droplet application on the surface of maize leaves (Zea mays L.) have been achieved using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI). The agrochemicals were deposited onto the adaxial surface of maize leaves on growing plants, and their uptake, distribution, and metabolism were investigated at four timepoints (3 h, 24 h, 4 days, and 7 days) to assess the influence of CSA treatment on TCM metabolism. MALDI MSI visualized significant changes for the metabolism of TCM after 24 h. Although TCM metabolism was detected neither in the control without the safener nor in the approach with CSA on the second leaf, the co-application on the same leaf showed significant metabolism of the herbicide by detecting the metabolite N-demethylated TCM. These findings suggest that safener protection against herbicide injury is a rapid process in which CSA and TCM need to be present in the same tissues. This study showcases the use of MALDI MSI to visualize and analyze indirect interactions of two substances in planta.

Abstract
Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl (FE) is a highly effective weed control agent for rice fields, but it causes phytotoxicity in crops. A whole-plant bioassay has revealed that isoxadifen-ethyl hydrolysate (IH) can significantly improve the tolerance of rice to FE, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are still unclear. In this study, we performed RNA-Seq analysis using rice seedlings treated with FE and IH to determine the IH-regulated candidate genes involved in metabolic resistance to FE. We also analyzed spatiotemporal expression using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to reveal the expression patterns of these genes under different treatments. The results showed that genes encoding metabolic enzymes, such as cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, glutathione-s-transferases, UDP-glycosyltransferase, carboxylesterase, and ATP-binding cassette transporter, were influenced by the application of IH. Most of these genes were upregulated, and their products were involved in various stages of FE metabolism. Tolerance to FE was primarily mediated by CarE15, CYP86A1, GSTU6, GST4, UGT13248, UGT79, and ABCC4, all of which played a vital role in regulating the detoxification process of FE. Our findings elucidated the protective mechanisms of IH, which can help alleviate the phytotoxic effects of FE and expand its potential for application in agriculture.

Abstract
Isoxaflutole (IXF), a 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitor, causes injury to crops leading to reductions in grain yield. In order to solve the phytotoxicity caused by IXF, the present work evaluated the protective response of the substituted quinoxaline derivatives as potential safeners on Zea mays. The bioassay results showed that all of the test compounds displayed protection against IXF. In particular, safener I-6 exhibited excellent safener activity against IXF injury via enhancing glutathione (GSH) content, glutathione S transferases (GSTs) and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYP450) activity. The tested compounds induced the activity of CYP450 and GSTs in Z. mays. The physicochemical properties and ADMET properties of safener I-6, benoxacor and diketonitrile (DKN, IXF metabolite) were compared to predict pharmaceutical behavior. The present work demonstrates that the safener I-6 could be considered as a potential candidate for developing novel safeners in the future.
