Abstract
Metabolic resistance to the maize-selective, HPPD-inhibiting herbicide, mesotrione, occurs via Phase I ring hydroxylation in resistant waterhemp and Palmer amaranth; however, mesotrione detoxification pathways post-Phase I are unknown. This research aims to (1) evaluate Palmer amaranth populations for mesotrione resistance via survivorship, foliar injury, and aboveground biomass, (2) determine mesotrione metabolism rates in Palmer amaranth populations during a time course, and (3) identify mesotrione metabolites including and beyond Phase I oxidation. The Palmer amaranth populations, SYNR1 and SYNR2, exhibited higher survival rates (100%), aboveground biomass (c.a. 50%), and lower injury (25-30%) following mesotrione treatment than other populations studied. These two populations also metabolized mesotrione 2-fold faster than sensitive populations, PPI1 and PPI2, and rapidly formed 4-OH-mesotrione. Additionally, SYNR1 and SYNR2 formed 5-OH-mesotrione, which is not produced in high abundance in waterhemp or naturally tolerant maize. Metabolite features derived from 4/5-OH-mesotrione and potential Phase II mesotrione-conjugates were detected and characterized by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS).

Abstract
Palmer amaranth has evolved target and nontarget site resistance to protoporphyrinogen oxidase-inhibitor herbicides in the United States. Recently, a population (KCTR) from a long-term conservation tillage study in Kansas was found to be resistant to herbicides from six sites of action, including to PPO-inhibitors, even with this herbicide group being minimally used in this field. This research investigated the level of resistance to postemergence PPO-inhibitors, target- and nontarget-site resistance mechanism(s), and efficacy of pre-emergence chemistries. The greenhouse experiments confirmed 6.1- to 78.9-fold resistance to lactofen in KCTR, with the level of resistance increasing when KCTR was purified for the resistance trait. PPO2 sequences alignment revealed the absence of known mutations conferring resistance to PPO-inhibitors in KCTR Palmer amaranth, and differential expression of the PPO2 gene did not occur. KCTR metabolized fomesafen faster than the susceptible population, indicating that herbicide detoxification is the mechanism conferring resistance in this population. Further, treatment with the cytochrome P450-inhibitor malathion followed by lactofen restored the sensitivity of KCTR to this herbicide. Despite being resistant to POST applied PPO-inhibitors, KCTR Palmer amaranth was completely controlled by the labeled rate of the PRE applied PPO-inhibitors fomesafen, flumioxazin, saflufenacil, sulfentrazone, and oxadiazon. The overall results suggest that P450-mediated metabolism confers resistance to PPO-inhibitors in KCTR, rather than alterations in the PPO2, which were more commonly found in other Palmer amaranth populations. Future work will focus on identifying the fomesafen metabolites and on unravelling the genetic basis of metabolic resistance to PPO-inhibitor herbicides in KCTR Palmer amaranth.

Abstract
Safeners are agrochemicals co-applied with herbicides that facilitate selective control of weeds by protecting monocot crops from chemical injury through enhancing the expression of detoxifying enzymes such as glutathione transferases (GSTs). Even though the application of safeners causes the induction of genes encoding GSTs in model dicots such as Arabidopsis thaliana, safeners do not protect broadleaf crops from herbicide injury. In this study, we proposed that the localized induction of Arabidopsis GSTs and the fundamental differences in their detoxifying activity between dicot and monocot species, underpin the failure of safeners to protect Arabidopsis from herbicide toxicity. Using the herbicide safener, isoxadifen-ethyl, we showed that three tau (U) family GSTs namely AtGSTU7, AtGSTU19 and AtGSTU24 were induced with different magnitude by isoxadifen treatment in root and rosette tissues. The higher magnitude of inducibility of these AtGSTUs in the root tissues coincided with the enhanced metabolism of flufenacet, a herbicide that is active in root tissue, protecting Arabidopsis plants from chemical injury. Assay of the recombinant enzyme activities and the significant reduction in flufenacet metabolism determined in the T-DNA insertion mutant of AtGSTU7 (gstu7) in Arabidopsis plants identified an important function for AtGSTU7 protein in flufenacet detoxification. In-silico structural modeling of AtGSTU7, suggested the unique high activity of this enzyme toward flufenacet was due to a less constrained active site compared to AtGSTU19 and AtGSTU24. We demonstrate here that it is possible to induce herbicide detoxification in dicotyledonous plants by safener treatment, albeit with this activity being restricted to very specific combinations of herbicide chemistry, and the localized induction of enzymes with specific detoxifying activities.

PLoS One 2023; 18:e0295927. [PMID: 38134124 PMCID: PMC10745185 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0295927] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Resistance to preemergence (PRE) soil-applied herbicides, such as inhibitors of very-long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) elongases, was documented in two waterhemp [Amaranthus tuberculatus (Moq.) J.D. Sauer] populations (SIR and CHR) from Illinois, USA. To limit the spread of resistant weed populations, rapid detection measures are necessary. Soil-based resistance assays are limited by edaphic factors, application timing, variable seeding depth and rainfall amount. Therefore, cost-effective techniques mitigating effects of edaphic factors that are appropriate for small- to large-scale assays are needed. Our research goal was to identify and quantify resistance to the VLCFA-inhibiting herbicides, S-metolachlor and pyroxasulfone, using a soilless greenhouse assay. Dose-response experiments were conducted under greenhouse conditions with pre-germinated waterhemp seeds planted on the vermiculite surface, which had been saturated with S-metolachlor (0.015-15 μM), pyroxasulfone (0.0005-1.5 μM), or S-metolachlor plus the cytochrome P450 (P450) inhibitor, malathion. Lethal dose estimates of 50% (LD50) and growth reduction of 50% (GR50) were calculated for S-metolachlor and pyroxasulfone PRE and used to determine resistance indices (RI) for resistant populations (CHR and SIR) relative to sensitive populations, SEN and ACR. RI values for S-metolachlor using LD50 values calculated relative to SEN and ACR were 17.2 and 15.2 (CHR) or 11.5 and 10.1 (SIR), while RI values for pyroxasulfone using LD50 values calculated relative to SEN and ACR were 3.8 and 3.1 (CHR) or 4.8 and 3.8 (SIR). Malathion decreased the GR50 of S-metolachlor to a greater degree in CHR compared to ACR, consistent with P450 involvement in S-metolachlor resistance in CHR. Results from these soilless assays are in accord with previous findings in soil-based systems that demonstrate CHR and SIR are resistant to S-metolachlor and pyroxasulfone. This method provides an effective, reproducible alternative to soil-based systems for studying suspected PRE herbicide-resistant populations and will potentially assist in identifying non-target-site resistance mechanisms.

Recombinant glutathione transferases from flufenacet-resistant black-grass (Alopecurus myosuroides Huds.) form different flufenacet metabolites and differ in their interaction with pre- and post-emergence herbicides. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2023; 79:3376-3386.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Black-grass (Alopecurus myosuroides Huds.) has become a problematic weed in cereals in Europe. Besides resistance to post-emergent herbicides becoming increasingly widespread, enhanced metabolism of inhibitors of the synthesis of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), such as flufenacet, is evolving. Yet, cross-resistance patterns and evolution of this resistance remains poorly understood. RESULTS The cDNA sequences of five glutathione transferases (GSTs) upregulated in flufenacet resistant black-grass were identified and used for recombinant protein expression. Moderate to slow detoxification of flufenacet was verified for all candidate GSTs expressed in E. coli, and the most active protein produced flufenacet-alcohol instead of a glutathione conjugate, in the presence of reduced glutathione (GSH). Moreover, cross-resistance to other VLCFA-inhibitors e.g., acetochlor and pyroxasulfone and the ACCase inhibitor fenoxaprop was verified in vitro. Various other herbicides of different modes of action including VLCFA-inhibitors were not detoxified by the candidate GSTs. CONCLUSIONS As several in planta upregulated GSTs detoxified flufenacet in vitro, the shift in sensitivity observed in black-grass populations, is likely a result of an additive effect. The polygenic character and the relatively low turnover rate of the individual GSTs may explain the slow evolution of flufenacet resistance. In addition, flufenacet resistance was accompanied by cross-resistance with some, but not all, herbicides of the same mode of action, and furthermore to the ACCase inhibitor fenoxaprop-ethyl. Hence, not only the rotation of herbicide modes of action, but also of individual active ingredients is important for resistance management. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
The application of herbicides is the most effective strategy for weed control and the development of herbicide-resistant crops will facilitate the weed management. The acetolactate synthase-inhibiting herbicide, tribenuron-methyl (TBM), is broadly used for weed control. However, its application in rapeseed field is restricted since rapeseed is sensitive to TBM. Herein, an integrated study of cytological, physiological and proteomic analysis of the TBM-resistant rapeseed mutant M342 and its wild-type (WT) plants was conducted. After TBM spraying, M342 showed improved tolerance to TBM, and proteins implicated in non-target-site resistance (NTSR) to herbicides had a significantly higher level in M342 as compared with the WT. Differentially accumulated proteins (DAPs) between these two genotypes were enriched in glutathione metabolism and oxidoreduction coenzyme metabolic process, which protected the mutant from oxidative stress triggered by TBM. Important DAPs related to stress or defence response were up-accumulated in M342 regardless of the TBM treatment, which might serve as the constitutive part of NTSR to TBM. These results provide new clues for further exploration of the NTSR mechanism in plants and establish a theoretical basis for the development of herbicide-resistant crops.

Abstract
A Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Wats.) biotype resistant to S-metolachlor was confirmed from crop fields in Arkansas, USA. This study investigated the metabolic effects of malathion (cytochrome P450 inhibitor) and 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan [NBD-Cl; glutathione S-transferase inhibitor] on the S-metolachlor-resistant A. palmeri biotype. Root elongation of the resistant biotype was 20% more inhibited by treatment of NBD-Cl (50 nM) and S-metolachlor (2 μM) in mixture than by treatment of S-metolachlor alone. Metabolites of S-metolachlor were 1.4-12.1 times greater produced in the resistant biotype for 7 d than in the susceptible standard. Production of cerotic acid, one of the very-long-chain fatty acids containing 26 carbons, was more reduced in the susceptible standard (3.8-fold) than in the resistant biotype (1.8-fold) by S-metolachlor treatment. Conclusively, evolution of S-metolachlor resistance observed in this study was likely associated with improved activity of glutathione S-transferases. Further studies are needed to genetically evaluate plant endogenous enzymes involving cerotic acid production.

Abstract
Pyroxasulfone (PYS) is an isoxazole herbicide favored for its high activity. However, the metabolic mechanism of PYS in tomato plants and the response mechanism of tomato to PYS are still lacking. In this study, it was found that tomato seedlings had a strong ability to absorb and translocate PYS from roots to shoots. The highest accumulation of PYS was in the apex tissue of the tomato shoots. Using UPLC-MS/MS, five metabolites of PYS were detected and identified in tomato plants, and their relative contents in different parts of tomato plants varied greatly. The serine conjugate, DMIT [5, 5-dimethyl-4, 5-dihydroisoxazole-3-thiol (DMIT)] &Ser, was the most abundant metabolites of PYS in tomato plants. In tomato plants, the conjugation of thiol-containing metabolic intermediates of PYS to serine may mimic the cystathionine β-synthase-catalyzed condensation of serine and homocysteine (in the pathway sly00260 sourced from KEGG database). This study ground breakingly proposed that serine may play an important role in plant metabolism of PYS and fluensulfone (whose molecular structure is similar to PYS). PYS and atrazine (whose toxicity profile is similar to PYS but not conjugate with serine) produced different regulatory outcomes for endogenous compounds in the pathway sly00260. Differential metabolites in tomato leaves exposed to PYS compared with the control, including amino acids, phosphates, and flavonoids, may play important roles in tomato response to PYS stress. This study provides inspiration for the biotransformation of sulfonyl-containing pesticides, antibiotics and other compounds in plants.
