Abstract
Tembotrione is a triketone herbicide widely used for broad-spectrum weed control in corn but not registered for use in wheat. A wide collection of spring, winter, and EMS-derived mutant lines of wheat was evaluated for their response to tembotrione treatment. Two winter wheat (WW) genotypes (WW-1 and WW-2) were found to be least sensitive to this herbicide, surviving >6 times the field recommended dose (92 g ai ha-1) compared to the most sensitive genotype (WW-24). Further, HPLC analysis using [14C] tembotrione suggested that both WW-1 and WW-2 metabolized tembotrione rapidly to nontoxic metabolites. Pretreatment with a P450 inhibitor (malathion) followed by tembotrione application increased the sensitivity of WW-1 and WW-2 genotypes to this herbicide, suggesting likely involvement of P450 enzymes in metabolizing tembotrione similar to corn. Overall, our results suggest that the genotypes WW-1 and WW-2 can potentially be used to develop tembotrione-resistant wheat varieties.

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
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD, EC 1.13.11.27) is one of the most valuable herbicide targets due to its unique biological functions. In search of HPPD inhibitors with promising biological performance, we designed and synthesized a series of novel tetrazolamide-benzimidazol-2-ones using a structure-based drug design strategy. Among the synthesized compounds, 1-(2-chlorobenzyl)-3-methyl-N-(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-4-carboxamide, 25, IC50 = 10 nM, was identified to be the most outstanding HPPD inhibitor, which showed more than 36-fold increased Arabidopsis thaliana HPPD (AtHPPD) inhibition potency than mesotrione (IC50 = 363 nM). Our AtHPPD-25 complex indicated that one nitrogen atom on the tetrazole ring and the oxygen atom on the amide group formed a classical bidentate chelation interaction with the metal ion, the benzimidazol-2-one ring created a tight π-π stacking interaction with Phe381 and Phe424, and some hydrophobic interactions were also found between the ortho-Cl-benzyl group and surrounding residues. Compound 32 showed more than 80% inhibition against all four tested weeds at 150 g ai/ha by the postemergence application. Our results indicated that the tetrazolamide-benzimidazol-2-one scaffold may be a new lead structure for herbicide discovery.

Abstract
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibitors (Echinochloa crus-galli 1.13.11.27, HPPD) have gained significant popularity as one of the best-selling herbicides worldwide. To identify highly effective HPPD inhibitors, a rational design approach utilizing bioisosterism was employed to create a series of 2-(arylformyl)cyclohexane-1,3-dione derivatives. A total of 29 novel compounds were synthesized and characterized through various techniques, including IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. Evaluation of their inhibitory activity against Arabidopsis thaliana HPPD (AtHPPD) revealed that certain derivatives exhibited superior potency compared to mesotrione (IC50 = 0.204 μM). Initial herbicidal activity tests demonstrated that compounds 27 and 28 were comparable to mesotrione in terms of weed control and crop safety, with compound 28 exhibiting enhanced safety in canola crops. Molecular docking analyses indicated that the quinoline rings of compounds 27 and 28 formed more stable π-π interactions with the amino acid residues Phe-360 and Phe-403 in the active cavity of AtHPPD, surpassing the benzene ring of mesotrione. Molecular dynamics simulations and molecular structure comparisons confirmed the robust binding capabilities of compounds 27 and 28 to AtHPPD. This study provides a valuable reference for the development of novel triketone herbicide structures, serving as a blueprint for future advancements in this field.

Abstract
The emergence of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) herbicides as efficacious target-site herbicides has been noteworthy. In recent years, only four species of broadleaf weeds have developed resistance due to the long-term widespread use of HPPD herbicides. This study represents the first reported instance of a grass weed exhibiting resistance to HPPD inhibitors. We identified a new HPPD-resistant Chinese sprangletop [Leptochloa chinensis (L.) Nees] population (R population). At the recommended dose of tripyrasulfone, the inhibition rate of the R population was only half that of the sensitive population (S). The mechanism underlying resistance does not involve target-site resistance triggered by amino acid mutations or depend on disparities within the HPPD INHIBITOR SENSITIVE 1 (HIS1) gene. The impetus for resistance appears to be interlinked with the metabolic activities of cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) family genes. Following RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) validation, the study suggests that five P450 genes, CYP71C1, CYP74A2, CYP72A1, CYP84A1, and CYP714C2, alongside a single GST gene GSTF1, may be implicated in the process of metabolic detoxification.

Abstract
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.27, HPPD) belongs to the non-heme Fe2+ - containing enzyme family and is an important enzyme in tyrosine decomposition. HPPD is crucial to the discovery of novel bleaching herbicides. To develop novel HPPD inhibitor herbicides containing the β-triketone motif, a series of 4-hydroxyl-3-(substituted aryl)-pyran-2-one derivatives were designed using the active fragment splicing method. The title compounds were synthesized and characterized through infrared spectroscopy (IR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR), and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The X-ray diffraction method determined the single crystal structure of I-17. Preliminary bioassay data revealed that several novel compounds, especially I-12 and II-3, showed excellent herbicidal activity against broadleaf and monocotyledonous weeds at a dose of 150 g ai/ha. The results of crop selectivity and carotenoids determination indicated that compound I-12 is more suitable for wheat and cotton fields than mesotrione. Additionally, compound II-3 is safer for soybeans and peanuts than mesotrione. The inhibitory activity of Arabidopsis thaliana HPPD (AtHPPD) verified that compound II-3 showed the most activity with an IC50 value of 0.248 μM, which was superior to that of mesotrione (0.283 μM) in vitro. The binding mode of compound II-3 and AtHPPD was confirmed through molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. This study provides insights into the future development of natural and efficient herbicides.

Abstract
Mesotrione is effective in controlling a wide spectrum of weeds in corn but not registered for postemergence use in sorghum because of crop injury. We screened a sorghum germplasm collection and identified two mesotrione-resistant sorghum genotypes (G-1 and G-10) and one susceptible genotype (S-1) in an in vitro plate assay. A mesotrione dose-response assay under greenhouse and field conditions confirmed that G-1 and G-10 are highly resistant compared to S-1. We found enhanced metabolism of mesotrione in G-1 and G-10 using HPLC assay, and a significant reduction in biomass accumulation was found in G-1 and G-10 plants pretreated with cytochrome P450 (CYP)-inhibitors malathion or piperonyl butoxide, indicating the involvement of CYPs in the metabolism of mesotrione. Genetic analyses using F1 and F2 progenies generated by crossing G-1 and G-10 separately with S-1 revealed that mesotrione resistance in sorghum is controlled by a single dominant gene along with several genes with minor effects.

Abstract
In this study, the inheritance of 2,4-D resistance in a multiple herbicide-resistant Palmer amaranth (KCTR) was investigated. Direct and reciprocal crosses were performed using 2,4-D-resistant KCTR and susceptible KSS plants to generate F1 progenies. 2,4-D dose-response assays were conducted to evaluate the response of progenies from each F1 family along with KCTR and KSS plants in controlled environmental growth chambers. Additionally, 2,4-D-resistant male and female plants from each of the F1 families were used in pairwise crosses to generate pseudo-F2 families. Segregation (resistance or susceptibility) of progenies from the F2 families in response to a discriminatory rate of 2,4-D (i.e., 560 g ae ha-1) was evaluated. Dose-response analysis of F1 progenies derived from direct and reciprocal crosses suggested that the 2,4-D resistance in KCTR is a nuclear trait. Chi-square analyses of F2 segregation data implied that 2,4-D resistance in KCTR is controlled by multiple gene(s). Overall, our data suggest that the 2,4-D resistance in KCTR Palmer amaranth is a nuclear inherited trait controlled by multiple genes. Such resistance can spread both via pollen or seed-mediated gene flow. In future, efforts will be directed towards identifying genes mediating 2,4-D resistance in KCTR population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Herbicide-resistant weeds pose a challenge to agriculture and food production. New herbicide tolerance traits in crops will provide farmers with more options to effectively manage weeds. Mesotrione, a selective pre- and post-emergent triketone herbicide used in corn production, controls broadleaf and some annual grass weeds via hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibition. Recently, the rice HIS1 gene, responsible for native tolerance to the selective triketone herbicide benzobicyclon, was identified. Expression of HIS1 also confers a modest level of mesotrione resistance in rice. Here we report the use of the HIS1 gene to develop a mesotrione tolerance trait in soybean. RESULTS Conventional soybean is highly sensitive to mesotrione. Ectopic expression of a codon-optimized version of the rice HIS1 gene (TDO) in soybean confers a commercial level of mesotrione tolerance. In TDO transgenic soybean plants, mesotrione is rapidly and locally oxidized into noninhibitory metabolites in leaf tissues directly exposed to the herbicide. These metabolites are further converted into compounds similar to known classes of plant secondary metabolites. This rapid metabolism prevents movement of mesotrione from treated leaves into vulnerable emerging leaves. Minimizing the accumulation of the herbicide in vulnerable emerging leaves protects the function of HPPD and carotenoid biosynthesis more generally while providing tolerance to mesotrione. CONCLUSIONS Mesotrione has a favorable environmental and toxicological profile. The TDO-mediated soybean mesotrione tolerance trait described here provides farmers with a new option to effectively manage difficult-to-control weeds using familiar herbicide chemistry. This trait can also be adapted to other mesotrione-sensitive crops (e.g. cotton) for effective weed management. © 2022 Bayer Crop Science.

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.

Murphy BP, Beffa R, Tranel PJ. Genetic architecture underlying HPPD-inhibitor resistance in a Nebraska Amaranthus tuberculatus population. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2021; 77:4884-4891.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Amaranthus tuberculatus is a problematic weed species in Midwest USA agricultural systems. Inhibitors of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) are an important chemistry for weed management in numerous cropping systems. Here, we characterize the genetic architecture underlying the HPPD-inhibitor resistance trait in an A. tuberculatus population (NEB). RESULTS Dose-response studies of an F1 generation identified HPPD-inhibitor resistance as a dominant trait with a resistance factor of 15.0-21.1 based on dose required for 50% growth reduction. Segregation analysis in a pseudo-F2 generation determined the trait is moderately heritable (H2 = 0.556) and complex. Bulk segregant analysis and validation with molecular markers identified two quantitative trait loci (QTL), one on each of Scaffold 4 and 12. CONCLUSIONS Resistance to HPPD inhibitors is a complex, largely dominant trait within the NEB population. Two large-effect QTL were identified controlling HPPD-inhibitor resistance in A. tuberculatus. This is the first QTL mapping study to characterize herbicide resistance in a weedy species.

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.

Recurrent Selection with Sub-Lethal Doses of Mesotrione Reduces Sensitivity in Amaranthus palmeri. PLANTS 2021; 10:plants10071293. [PMID: 34202011 PMCID: PMC8308957 DOI: 10.3390/plants10071293] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2021] [Revised: 06/03/2021] [Accepted: 06/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Amaranthus palmeri, ranked as the most prolific and troublesome weed in North America, has evolved resistance to several herbicide sites of action. Repeated use of any one herbicide, especially at lower than recommended doses, can lead to evolution of weed resistance, and, therefore, a better understanding of the process of resistance evolution is essential for the management of A. palmeri and other difficult-to-control weed species. Amaranthus palmeri rapidly developed resistance to 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors such as mesotrione. The objective of this study was to test the potential for low-dose applications of mesotrione to select for reduced susceptibility over multiple generations in an A. palmeri population collected from an agricultural field in 2001. F0 plants from the population were initially treated with sub-lethal mesotrione rates and evaluated for survival three weeks after treatment. All F0 plants were controlled at the 1× rate (x = 105 g ai ha−1). However, 2.5% of the F0 plants survived the 0.5× treatment. The recurrent selection process using plants surviving various mesotrione rates was continued until the F4 generation was reached. Based on the GR50 values, the sensitivity index was determined to be 1.7 for the F4 generation. Compared to F0, HPPD gene expression level in the F3 population increased. Results indicate that after several rounds of recurrent selection, the successive generations of A. palmeri became less responsive to mesotrione, which may explain the reduced sensitivity of this weed to HPPD-inhibiting herbicides. The results have significance in light of the recently released soybean and soon to be released cotton varieties with resistance to HPPD inhibitors.

Abstract
Herbicides are major tools for effective weed management. The evolution of resistance to herbicides in weedy species, especially contributed by non-target-site-based resistance (NTSR) is a worrisome issue in crop production globally. Glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) is one of the extremely difficult weeds in southern US crop production. In this study, we present the level and molecular basis of resistance to the chloroacetamide herbicide, S-metolachlor, in six field-evolved A. palmeri populations that had survivors at the recommended field-dose (1.1 kg ai ha-1). These samples were collected in 2014 and 2015. The level of resistance was determined in dose-response assays. The effective dose for 50% control (ED50) of the susceptible population was 27 g ai ha-1, whereas the ED50 of the resistant populations ranged from 88 to 785 g ai ha-1. Therefore, A. palmeri resistance to S-metolachlor evolved in Arkansas as early as 2014. Metabolic-inhibitor and molecular assays indicated NTSR in these populations, mainly driven by GSTs. To understand the mechanism of resistance, selected candidate genes were analyzed in leaves and roots of survivors (with 1 × S-metolachlor). Expression analysis of the candidate genes showed that the primary site of S-metolachlor detoxification in A. palmeri is in the roots. Two GST genes, ApGSTU19 and ApGSTF8 were constitutively highly expressed in roots of all plants across all resistant populations tested. The expression of both GSTs increased further in survivors after treatment with S-metolachlor. The induction level of ApGSTF2 and ApGSTF2like by S-metolachlor differed among resistant populations. Overall, higher expression of ApGSTU19, ApGSTF8, ApGSTF2, and ApGSTF2like, which would lead to higher GST activity in roots, was strongly associated with the resistant phenotype. Phylogenetic relationship and analysis of substrate binding site of candidate genes suggested functional similarities with known metolachlor-detoxifying GSTs, effecting metabolic resistance to S-metolachlor in A. palmeri. Resistance is achieved by elevated baseline expression of these genes and further induction by S-metolachlor in resistant plants.

Abstract
Postemergence grass weed control continues to be a major challenge in grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], primarily due to lack of herbicide options registered for use in this crop. The development of herbicide-resistant sorghum technology to facilitate broad-spectrum postemergence weed control can be an economical and viable solution. The 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase-inhibitor herbicides (e.g., mesotrione or tembotrione) can control a broad spectrum of weeds including grasses, which, however, are not registered for postemergence application in sorghum due to crop injury. In this study, we identified two tembotrione-resistant sorghum genotypes (G-200, G-350) and one susceptible genotype (S-1) by screening 317 sorghum lines from a sorghum association panel (SAP). These tembotrione-resistant and tembotrione-susceptible genotypes were evaluated in a tembotrione dose-response [0, 5.75, 11.5, 23, 46, 92 (label recommended dose), 184, 368, and 736 g ai ha-1] assay. Compared with S-1, the genotypes G-200 and G-350 exhibited 10- and seven fold more resistance to tembotrione, respectively. To understand the inheritance of tembotrione-resistant trait, crosses were performed using S-1 and G-200 or G-350 to generate F1 and F2 progeny. The F1 and F2 progeny were assessed for their response to tembotrione treatment. Genetic analyses of the F1 and F2 progeny demonstrated that the tembotrione resistance in G-200 and G-350 is a partially dominant polygenic trait. Furthermore, cytochrome P450 (CYP)-inhibitor assay using malathion and piperonyl butoxide suggested possible CYP-mediated metabolism of tembotrione in G-200 and G-350. Genotype-by-sequencing based quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping revealed QTLs associated with tembotrione resistance in G-200 and G-350 genotypes. Overall, the genotypes G-200 and G-350 confer a high level of metabolic resistance to tembotrione and controlled by a polygenic trait. There is an enormous potential to introgress the tembotrione resistance into breeding lines to develop agronomically desirable sorghum hybrids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Relatively new herbicides that target 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) are now available for use on the world's great grain crops (rice, wheat, corn and soybean) and for other uses. With widespread and persistent use of HPPD-inhibiting herbicides, the evolution of HPPD-inhibiting herbicide resistant weeds is inevitable. Currently, resistance to HPPD-inhibiting herbicides is known in two weed species, waterhemp and Palmer amaranth. Here, we report a HPPD-inhibiting herbicide resistant wild radish population from the Western Australia grain belt. This population was not selected with HPPD-inhibiting herbicides, rather it evolved resistance to earlier used herbicides with different modes of action and exhibits cross-resistance to HPPD-inhibiting herbicides. RESULTS Dose-response experiments showed the resistant (R) population exhibits 4 to 6.5-fold resistance to the HPPD-inhibiting herbicides mesotrione, tembotrione and isoxaflutole, compared to the susceptible (S) population. This resistance is not target-site based as cloning of full coding sequences of the HPPD genes from S and R plants did not reveal resistance-endowing single nucleotide polymorphisms. The HPPD gene expression levels are similar in S and R plants. In addition, no differences in [14 C]-mesotrione uptake and translocation were observed in the S and R plants. However, the time required for R plants to metabolise 50% [14 C]-mesotrione is 7.7-fold faster than for the S plants. CONCLUSION We confirm resistance to HPPD-inhibiting herbicides exists in a population of the economically damaging global weed wild radish. The resistance in this population is due to a non-target-site based enhanced rate of herbicide metabolism. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Evolution of multiple herbicide resistance in Palmer amaranth across the United States is a serious challenge for its management. Recently, a Palmer amaranth population (KCTR; Kansas Conservation Tillage Resistant) from a long-term conservation tillage research project in Kansas, United States, was found uncontrolled by several commonly used herbicides. Importantly, this field did not have a history of repeated use of some of the herbicides for which the KCTR Palmer amaranth population showed lack of control. The objectives of this study were to confirm the evolution of multiple resistances and determine possible mechanism(s) of resistance in KCTR Palmer amaranth plants. In response to post-emergence application, 28-100% of KCTR Palmer amaranth survived field recommended rates of 2,4-D, ALS-, PS II-, EPSPS-, PPO-, HPPD-inhibitor herbicides, or tank- or pre-mixture of PS II- and HPPD-inhibitor herbicides, confirming evolution of six-way resistance in this Palmer amaranth population. However, this population was found susceptible to the PS I- and glutamine synthetase inhibitor herbicides. Chlorsulfuron-, imazethapyr-, and atrazine-resistant plants did not show any previously reported mutation in ALS and psbA genes, the target sites of these herbicides, respectively. However, the survivors of glyphosate treatment showed amplification of EPSPS gene (up to 88 copies). The KCTR plants pretreated with cytochrome P450 or GST inhibitors along with atrazine, 2,4-D, lactofen, or mesotrione had significantly less biomass accumulation than those treated with herbicides alone. Plants treated with P450 inhibitor followed by imazethapyr showed moderate reduction of biomass in KCTR which was statistically similar to a susceptible Palmer amaranth population treated with imazethapyr. These results suggest predominance of metabolic resistance possibly mediated by cytochrome P450 and GST enzyme activity that may have predisposed the KCTR Palmer amaranth population to evolve resistance to multiple herbicides. This is the first report of evolution of six-way resistance in a single Palmer amaranth population. Appropriate management strategies, including integration of cultural, and mechanical, and herbicide mixtures, are warranted to control such Palmer amaranth populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Amaranthus palmeri S. Wats is among the most problematic annual broadleaf weed species in the USA, including in Kansas. In late summer 2015, seeds of an A. palmeri population (MHR) that had survived field-use rates of 2,4-D were collected from Barton County, KS, USA. The main objectives were to: (i) confirm and characterize 2,4-D resistance in a MHR population; (ii) characterize the resistance profile of the MHR population in relation to a multiple herbicide-susceptible (MHS) population to glyphosate, chlorsulfuron, atrazine, mesotrione, fomesafen; and (iii) determine the effectiveness of alternative POST burndown herbicides for controlling MHR population. RESULTS The MHR population had 3.2-fold resistance to 2,4-D. In addition, the MHR population also exhibited multiple resistance to glyphosate (11.8-fold), chlorsulfuron (5.0-fold), atrazine (14.4-fold), and mesotrione (13.4-fold). Furthermore, the MHR population also showed reduced sensitivity to fomesafen (2.3-fold). In a separate study, dicamba with glyphosate, atrazine or fluroxypyr + 2,4-D, and paraquat alone or with atrazine, metribuzin, saflufenacil or 2,4-D provided ≥ 99% injury to the MHR population. Similarly, saflufenacil alone or with atrazine, metribuzin or 2,4-D, and glufosinate alone or with glyphosate + 2,4-D, and glyphosate + dicamba, and a premix of bicyclopyrone + atrazine + mesotrione + S-metolachlor also effectively controlled the MHR population. CONCLUSION This research confirms the first global case of an A. palmeri population from Kansas with multiple resistance to 2,4-D, glyphosate, chlorsulfuron, atrazine and mesotrione, and reduced sensitivity to fomesafen. Dicamba, glufosinate, paraquat, and saflufenacil alone or in tank-mixtures with PRE herbicides effectively controlled this MHR population. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Non-target-site resistance (NTSR) to herbicides in weeds can be conferred as a result of the alteration of one or more physiological processes, including herbicide absorption, translocation, sequestration, and metabolism. The mechanisms of NTSR are generally more complex to decipher than target-site resistance (TSR) and can impart cross-resistance to herbicides with different modes of action. Metabolism-based NTSR has been reported in many agriculturally important weeds, although reduced translocation and sequestration of herbicides has also been found in some weeds. This review focuses on summarizing the recent advances in our understanding of the physiological, biochemical, and molecular basis of NTSR mechanisms found in weed species. Further, the importance of examining the co-existence of TSR and NTSR for the same herbicide in the same weed species and influence of environmental conditions in the altering and selection of NTSR is also discussed. Knowledge of the prevalence of NTSR mechanisms and co-existing TSR and NTSR in weeds is crucial for designing sustainable weed management strategies to discourage the further evolution and selection of herbicide resistance in weeds.

Abstract
There have been many studies on target-site resistance (TSR) to PSII-inhibiting herbicides, but only a few on the non-target-site resistance (NTSR). Here, we reported both TSR and NTSR to metribuzin in a wild radish population. Dose-response studies revealed a higher level of resistance to metribuzin in the resistant (R) compared to the susceptible (S) population. Sequencing of the target psbA gene revealed the known Ser-264-Gly mutation in R plants. In addition, a higher level of [14C]-metribuzin metabolism and, consequently, a lower level of [14C] translocation were also detected in the R plants. These results demonstrated that both psbA gene mutation and enhanced metabolism contribute to metribuzin resistance in this wild radish population. Furthermore, this resistant population showed resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides due to multiple ALS gene mutations. This is the first report in wild radish of metabolic herbicide resistance, in addition to the target-site psbA gene mutation.

Abstract
Herbicide resistance (HR) is a major concern for the agricultural producers as well as environmentalists. Resistance to commonly used herbicides are conferred due to mutation(s) in the genes encoding herbicide target sites/proteins (GETS). Identification of these genes through wet-lab experiments is time consuming and expensive. Thus, a supervised learning-based computational model has been proposed in this study, which is first of its kind for the prediction of seven classes of GETS. The cDNA sequences of the genes were initially transformed into numeric features based on the k-mer compositions and then supplied as input to the support vector machine. In the proposed SVM-based model, the prediction occurs in two stages, where a binary classifier in the first stage discriminates the genes involved in conferring the resistance to herbicides from other genes, followed by a multi-class classifier in the second stage that categorizes the predicted herbicide resistant genes in the first stage into any one of the seven resistant classes. Overall classification accuracies were observed to be ~89% and >97% for binary and multi-class classifications respectively. The proposed model confirmed higher accuracy than the homology-based algorithms viz., BLAST and Hidden Markov Model. Besides, the developed computational model achieved ~87% accuracy, while tested with an independent dataset. An online prediction server HRGPred (http://cabgrid.res.in:8080/hrgpred) has also been established to facilitate the prediction of GETS by the scientific community.

Abstract
Pollen-mediated gene flow (PMGF) might play an important role in dispersing herbicide resistance alleles in dioecious weedy Amaranthus species. Field experiments in a concentric donor-receptor design were conducted to quantify two sets of PMGF studies, an interspecific (Amaranthus tuberculatus × Amaranthus palmeri) and an intraspecific (A. tuberculatus × A. tuberculatus). In both studies, PMGF was evaluated using a resistant A. tuberculatus phenotype with enhanced mesotrione detoxification via P450 enzymes as a source of resistance alleles. For interspecific hybridization, more than 104 000 putative hybrid seedlings were screened with three markers, one phenotypic and two molecular. The two molecular markers used, including 2-bp polymorphisms in the internal transcribed spacer region, distinguished A. palmeri, A. tuberculatus and their hybrids. Results showed that 0.1% hybridization between A. tuberculatus × A. palmeri occurred under field research conditions. For intraspecific hybridization, 22 582 seedlings were screened to assess the frequency of gene flow. The frequency of gene flow (FGF ) varied with distance, direction and year of the study. The farthest distance for 90% reduction of FGF was at 69 m in 2015 however, after averaging across directions it was 13.1 and 26.1 m in 2014 and 2015, respectively. This study highlights the transfer of metabolism-based mesotrione resistance from A. tuberculatus to A. palmeri under field research conditions. The results presented here might aid in the rapid detection of A. palmeri among other Amaranthus species and show that PMFG could be expediting the increase of herbicide resistance in A. palmeri and A. tuberculatus across US crop production areas.

Abstract
Mesotrione (2-[4-(methylsulfonyl)-2-nithobenzoyl]-1, 3-cyclohexanedione) is a selective triketone herbicide that has been widely used in corn production for the past 15 years. However, its potential for risk to soil ecosystems is poorly documented. The present study investigated the soil enzyme activity and soil microbial community responses to a 20 days' mesotrione exposure at doses of 0.1, 1.0 and 5.0 mg/kg. On days 2, 5, 10 and 20, activities of soil β-glucosidase, urease and acid phosphatase, soil microbe abundances, soil microbial community structure and abundance of the AOA-amoA and AOB-amoA genes were measured. Results showed that activities of urease and acid phosphatase were relatively stable, with no difference found between the mesotrione-treated group and control at the end of exposure. But β-glucosidase activity was reduced in the 5.0 mg/kg mesotrione treatment. In the 1.0 and 5.0 mg/kg mesotrione-treated soil, abundance of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes all were reduced. In the 0.1 mg/kg mesotrione-treated soil, only fungi abundance was reduced by the end of the exposure. The analysis of terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) revealed soil microbial community structure could be affected by mesotrione at all experimental doses, and microbial diversity declined slightly after mesotrione exposure. Abundance of AOA-amoA and AOB-amoA genes were reduced markedly in 1.0 and 5.0 mg/kg mesotrione-treated soil. The present study suggests that mesotrione at higher doses might induce negative impacts on soil microbes, a finding which merits additional research and which should be accounted for when application of this herbicide is considered.

Reversing resistance to tembotrione in an Amaranthus tuberculatus (var. rudis) population from Nebraska, USA with cytochrome P450 inhibitors. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2018; 74:2296-2305.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A population of Amaranthus tuberculatus (var. rudis) was confirmed resistant to 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD)-inhibitor herbicides (mesotrione, tembotrione, and topramezone) in a seed corn/soybean rotation in Nebraska. Further investigation confirmed a non-target-site resistance mechanism in this population. The main objective of this study was to explore the role of cytochrome P450 inhibitors in restoring the efficacy of HPPD-inhibitor herbicides on the HPPD-inhibitor resistant A. tuberculatus population from Nebraska, USA (HPPD-R). RESULTS Enhanced metabolism via cytochrome P450 enzymes is the mechanism of resistance in HPPD-R. Amitrole partially restored the activity of mesotrione, whereas malathion, amitrole, and piperonyl butoxide restored the activity of tembotrione and topramezone in HPPD-R. Although corn was injured through malathion followed by mesotrione application a week after treatment, the injury was transient, and the crop recovered. CONCLUSION The use of cytochrome P450 inhibitors with tembotrione may provide a new way of controlling HPPD-inhibitor resistant A. tuberculatus, but further research is needed to identify the cytochrome P450 candidate gene(s) conferring metabolism-based resistance. The results presented here aid to gain an insight into non-target-site resistance weed management strategies. © 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
Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) is a major weed in United States cotton and soybean production systems. Originally native to the Southwest, the species has spread throughout the country. In 2004 a population of A. palmeri was identified with resistance to glyphosate, a herbicide heavily relied on in modern no-tillage and transgenic glyphosate-resistant (GR) crop systems. This project aims to determine the degree of genetic relatedness among eight different populations of GR and glyphosate-susceptible (GS) A. palmeri from various geographic regions in the United States by analyzing patterns of phylogeography and diversity to ascertain whether resistance evolved independently or spread from outside to an Arizona locality (AZ-R). Shikimic acid accumulation and EPSPS genomic copy assays confirmed resistance or susceptibility. With a set of 1,351 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), discovered by genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), UPGMA phylogenetic analysis, principal component analysis, Bayesian model-based clustering, and pairwise comparisons of genetic distances were conducted. A GR population from Tennessee and two GS populations from Georgia and Arizona were identified as genetically distinct while the remaining GS populations from Kansas, Arizona, and Nebraska clustered together with two GR populations from Arizona and Georgia. Within the latter group, AZ-R was most closely related to the GS populations from Kansas and Arizona followed by the GR population from Georgia. GR populations from Georgia and Tennessee were genetically distinct from each other. No isolation by distance was detected and A. palmeri was revealed to be a species with high genetic diversity. The data suggest the following two possible scenarios: either glyphosate resistance was introduced to the Arizona locality from the east, or resistance evolved independently in Arizona. Glyphosate resistance in the Georgia and Tennessee localities most likely evolved separately. Thus, modern farmers need to continue to diversify weed management practices and prevent seed dispersal to mitigate herbicide resistance evolution in A. palmeri.

Abstract
A Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson) biotype has evolved resistance to photosystem (PS) II- (atrazine) and 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD)-inhibiting herbicides (mesotrione, tembotrione, and topramezone) in maize seed production field in Nebraska, USA. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of soil residual pre-emergence (PRE) herbicides followed by (fb) tank-mixture of residual and foliar active post-emergence (POST) herbicides on PS-II- and HPPD-inhibitor-resistant Palmer amaranth control, maize yield, and net economic returns. Field experiments were conducted in a grower's field infested with PS II- and HPPD-inhibitor-resistant Palmer amaranth near Shickley in Fillmore County, Nebraska, USA in 2015 and 2016. The contrast analysis suggested that saflufenacil plus dimethenamid-P or pyroxasulfone plus saflufenacil applied PRE provided 80-82% Palmer amaranth control compared to 65 and 39% control with saflufenacil and pyroxasulfone applied alone at 3 weeks after PRE (WAPRE), respectively. Among the PRE fb POST herbicide programs, 95-98% Palmer amaranth control was achieved with pyroxasulfone plus safluefenacil, or saflufenacil plus dimethenamid-P applied PRE, fb glyphosate plus topramezone plus dimethenamid-P plus atrazine, glyphosate plus diflufenzopyr plus dicamba plus pyroxasulfone, glyphosate plus diflufenzopyr plus pendimethalin, or glyphosate plus diflufenzopyr plus dicamba plus atrazine applied POST at 3 weeks after POST (WAPOST) through maize harvest. Based on contrast analysis, PRE fb POST programs provided 77-83% Palmer amaranth control at 3 WAPOST through maize harvest compared to 12-15% control with PRE-only and 66-84% control with POST-only programs. Similarly, PRE fb POST programs provided 99% biomass reduction at 6 WAPOST compared to PRE-only (28%) and POST-only (87%) programs. PRE fb POST programs provided higher maize yield (13,617 kg ha-1) and net return (US $1,724 ha-1) compared to the PRE-only (2,656 kg ha-1; US $285 ha-1) and POST-only (11,429 kg ha-1; US $1,539 ha-1) programs. The results indicated that effective control of multiple herbicide-resistant Palmer amaranth can be achieved with PRE fb POST programs that include herbicides with overlapping residual activity to maintain season-long control.

Abstract
Waterhemp [Amaranthus tuberculatus (Moq.) Sauer] is a problematic dicot weed in maize, soybean, and cotton production in the United States. Waterhemp has evolved resistance to several commercial herbicides that inhibit the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate-dioxygenase (HPPD) enzyme in sensitive dicots, and research to date has shown that HPPD-inhibitor resistance is conferred by rapid oxidative metabolism of the parent compound in resistant populations. Mesotrione and tembotrione (both triketones) have been used exclusively to study HPPD-inhibitor resistance mechanisms in waterhemp and a related species, A. palmeri (S. Wats.), but the commercial HPPD inhibitor topramezone (a pyrazolone) has not been investigated from a mechanistic standpoint despite numerous reports of cross-resistance in the field and greenhouse. The first objective of our research was to determine if two multiple herbicide-resistant (MHR) waterhemp populations (named NEB and SIR) metabolize topramezone more rapidly than two HPPD inhibitor-sensitive waterhemp populations (named SEN and ACR). Our second objective was to determine if initial topramezone metabolite(s) detected in MHR waterhemp are qualitatively different than those formed in maize. An excised leaf assay and whole-plant study investigated initial rates of topramezone metabolism (<24 h) and identified topramezone metabolites at 48 hours after treatment (HAT), respectively, in the four waterhemp populations and maize. Results indicated both MHR waterhemp populations metabolized more topramezone than the sensitive (SEN) population at 6 HAT, while only the SIR population metabolized more topramezone than SEN at 24 HAT. Maize metabolized more topramezone than any waterhemp population at each time point examined. LC-MS analysis of topramezone metabolites at 48 HAT showed maize primarily formed desmethyl and benzoic acid metabolites, as expected based on published reports, whereas SIR formed two putative hydroxylated metabolites. Subsequent LC-MS/MS analyses identified both hydroxytopramezone metabolites in SIR as different hydroxylation products of the isoxazole ring, which were also present in maize 48 HAT but at very low levels. These results indicate that SIR initially metabolizes and detoxifies topramezone in a different manner than tolerant maize.

Abstract
A population of Amaranthus tuberculatus (var. rudis) evolved resistance to 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitor herbicides (mesotrione, tembotrione, and topramezone) in Nebraska. The level of resistance was the highest to mesotrione, and the mechanism of resistance in this population is metabolism-based likely via cytochrome P450 enzymes. The increasing number of weeds resistant to herbicides warrants studies on the ecology and evolutionary factors contributing for resistance evolution, including inheritance of resistance traits. In this study, we investigated the genetic control of mesotrione resistance in an A. tuberculatus population from Nebraska, USA. Results showed that reciprocal crosses in the F1 families exhibited nuclear inheritance, which allows pollen movement carrying herbicide resistance alleles. The mode of inheritance varied from incomplete recessive to incomplete dominance depending upon the F1 family. Observed segregation patterns for the majority of the F2 and back-cross susceptible (BC/S) families did not fit to a single major gene model. Therefore, multiple genes are likely to confer metabolism-based mesotrione resistance in this A. tuberculatus population from Nebraska. The results of this study aid to understand the genetics and inheritance of a non-target-site based mesotrione resistant A. tuberculatus population from Nebraska, USA.

Abstract
Despite increasing knowledge of allelochemicals as leads for new herbicides, relatively little is known about the mode of action of allelochemical-based herbicides on herbicide-resistant weeds. In this study, herbicidal activities of a series of allelochemical tricin-derived compounds were evaluated. Subsequently, a benzothiazine derivative 3-(2-chloro-4-methanesulfonyl)-benzoyl-hydroxy-2-methyl-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-1,1-dioxide with 4-hydroxyphenyl-pyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibiting activity was identified as a target compound on photosynthetic performance of penoxsulam-resistant versus -susceptible barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli). Regardless of barnyardgrass biotype, the benzothiazine derivative greatly affected chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (Fv/Fm, ETR1min and NPQ1min), reduced the chloroplast fluorescence levels and expression of HPPD gene. In particular, the benzothiazine derivative interfered with photosynthetic performance of resistant barnyardgrass more effectively than the allelochemical tricin itself. These results showed that the benzothiazine derivative effectively inhibited the growth of resistant barnyardgrass and its mode of action on photosynthesis system was similar to HPPD-inhibiting sulcotrione, making it an ideal lead compound for further development of allelochemical-based herbicide discovery.

Abstract
The development of new herbicides is receiving considerable attention to control weed biotypes resistant to current herbicides. Consequently, new enzymes are always desired as targets for herbicide discovery. 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD, EC 1.13.11.27) is an enzyme engaged in photosynthetic activity and catalyzes the transformation of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid (HPPA) into homogentisic acid (HGA). HPPD inhibitors constitute a promising area of discovery and development of innovative herbicides with some advantages, including excellent crop selectivity, low application rates, and broad-spectrum weed control. HPPD inhibitors have been investigated for agrochemical interests, and some of them have already been commercialized as herbicides. In this review, we mainly focus on the chemical biology of HPPD, discovery of new potential inhibitors, and strategies for engineering transgenic crops resistant to current HPPD-inhibiting herbicides. The conclusion raises some relevant gaps for future research directions.
