Abstract
Johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers.] is a troublesome weed species in different agricultural and non-agricultural areas. Because of its biology, reproductive system, and seed production, effective management is challenging. An accession with low susceptibility to the acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides fluazifop-p-butyl (fluazifop) and pinoxaden was collected in eastern Arkansas. In this research, the molecular mechanisms responsible for ACCase resistance were investigated. Dose-response experiments showed a resistance factor of 181 and 133 for fluazifop and pinoxaden, respectively. Molecular analysis of both ACCase1 and ACCase2 genes was researched. Nucleotide comparison of ACCase1 between resistant and susceptible accessions showed no single nucleotide polymorphisms. Nonetheless, analysis of ACCase2 in fluazifop-resistant johnsongrass plants revealed the Ile1781Leu target-site mutation was dominant (nearly 75%), whereas the majority of pinoxaden-resistant johnsongrass plants had the Ile2041Asn (60%). Not all sequenced johnsongrass plants displayed a target-site mutation, suggesting the presence of additional resistance mechanisms. Amplification of ACCase1 and ACCase2 was not responsible for resistance because of the similar values obtained in both resistant and susceptible accessions. Experiments with malathion and NBD-Cl suggest the presence of herbicide metabolism. Outcomes of this research demonstrated that fluazifop- and pinoxaden-resistant johnsongrass plants displayed a target-site mutation in ACCase2, but also that non-target-site resistance mechanisms would be involved and require a detailed study.

González-Torralva F, Norsworthy JK. Overexpression of Acetyl CoA Carboxylase 1 and 3 ( ACCase1 and ACCase3), and CYP81A21 were related to cyhalofop resistance in a barnyardgrass accession from Arkansas. PLANT SIGNALING & BEHAVIOR 2023; 18:2172517. [PMID: 36722712 PMCID: PMC9897766 DOI: 10.1080/15592324.2023.2172517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv.] is the most difficult-to-control weed species of rice production systems worldwide. It has evolved resistance to different herbicide sites of action, including the acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides. Target-site mutations conferring resistance to ACCase-inhibiting herbicides are well documented; however, the role of the different ACCase genes in conferring resistance to cyhalofop-p-butyl (cyhalofop), an ACCase-inhibiting herbicide, remains poorly understood. This research assessed the contribution of gene amplification and expression of ACCase genes in a cyhalofop-resistant barnyardgrass accession. Additionally, the expression of glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) genes as possible contributors to resistance to cyhalofop were investigated. Results demonstrated that ACCase gene amplification does not contribute to cyhalofop resistance. However, ACCase1 and ACCase3 were found to be overexpressed in the cyhalofop-resistant barnyardgrass accession. At 24 h after cyhalofop treatment, an overexpression of 2.0- and 2.8-fold was detected in ACCase1 and ACCase3, respectively. In addition, CYP81A21 (a P450 gene) was found to be 2.5-fold overexpressed compared to the susceptible accession in the same time period. These results suggest that ACCase1, ACCase3, and CYP81A21 are crucial genes in contributing cyhalofop resistance in this barnyardgrass accession.

Abstract
Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv.), one of the worst weeds in paddy fields in China, has been frequently reported evolving resistance to acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibiting herbicides. However, in the previous research, more attention was paid to target-site resistance (TSR) mechanisms, the non-target-site resistance (NTSR) mechanisms have not been well-established. In this study, the potential mechanism of resistance in a metamifop-resistant E. crus-galli collected from Kunshan city, Jiangsu Province, China was investigated. Dose-response assays showed that the phenotypic resistant population (JS-R) has evolved 4.3-fold resistance to metamifop compared with the phenotypic susceptible population (YN-S). The ACCase CT gene sequencing and relative ACCase gene expression levels studies showed that no mutations were detected in the ACCase CT gene in both YN-S and JS-R, and there was no significant difference in the relative ACCase gene expression between YN-S and JS-R. After the pre-processing of glutathione-S-transferase (GSTs) inhibitor NBD-Cl, the resistance level of JS-R to metamifop was reversed 18.73%. Furthermore, the GSTs activity of JS-R plants was significantly enhanced compared to that of YN-S plants. UPLC-MS/MS revealed that JS-R plants had faster metabolic rates to metamifop than YN-S plants. Meanwhile, the JS-R popultion exhibited resistant to cyhalofop-butyl and penoxsulam. In summary, this study presented a novel discovery regarding the global emergence of metabolic resistance to metamifop in E. crus-galli. The low-level resistance observed in the JS-R population was not found to be related to TSR but rather appeared to be primarily associated with the overexpression of genes in the GSTs metabolic enzyme superfamily.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 194:105488. [PMID: 37532350 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2023.105488] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
Digitaria sanguinalis is a competitive and annual grass weed that commonly infests crops across the world. In recent years, the control of D. sanguinalis by nicosulfuron has declined in Hebei Province, China. To determine the resistance mechanisms of D. sanguinalis to nicosulfuron, a population of D. sanguinalis where nicosulfuron had failed was collected from a maize field of Hebei Province, China. Whole-plant dose-response experiments demonstrated that the resistant population (HBMT-15) displayed 6.9-fold resistance to nicosulfuron compared with the susceptible population (HBMT-5). Addition of the glutathione S-transferase (GSTs) inhibitor 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD-Cl) significantly reduced the resistance level of the HBMT-15 population to nicosulfuron, and the GSTs activity of the HBMT-15 population was higher than the HBMT-5 population after nicosulfuron treatment. In vitro acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme experiments revealed that the nicosulfuron I50 value for the HBMT-15 population was 41 times higher than that of the HBMT-5 population. An Asp376 to Glu substitution in the ALS gene was identified in the HBMT-15 population. The HBMT-15 population had a moderate (2- to 4-fold) level of cross-resistance to three other ALS inhibitors (imazethapyr, pyroxsulam, and flucarbazone‑sodium), but was susceptible to pyrithiobac‑sodium. This study demonstrated that both an Asp376 to Glu substitution in the ALS gene and GSTs-involved metabolic resistance to ALS inhibitors coexisted in a D. sanguinalis population.

Abstract
Echinochloa crus-galli L., a notorious weed in rice paddy fields, is usually kept under control by mefenacet application at the pre-emergence or early post-emergence stage. Due to continuous and repeated usage, E. crus-galli is developing resistance to mefenacet in China. Two putative resistant and one susceptible E. crus-galli populations were collected from paddy fields in Jiangsu Province to characterize their herbicide resistance. Compared with the susceptible population, the two mefenacet-resistant populations had 2.8- and 4.1-times greater pre-emergence resistance, and 10- and 6.8-times greater early post-emergence resistance to mefenacet. These mefenacet-resistant E. crus-galli populations also exhibited cross- or multiple-resistance to acetochlor, pyraclonil, imazamox, and quinclorac. However, when the glutathione S-transferase (GST) inhibitor 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD-Cl) was applied prior to post-emergence treatment, mefenacet resistance levels were reduced in both populations. Additionally, GST activity in vivo in one resistant population was much higher than the susceptible population after mefenacet application. The very long chain fatty acid elongases (VLCFAEs) from both mefenacet-resistant populations required much higher mefenacet concentration to inhibit their activity. The reduced sensitivity of VLCFAEs to mefenacet indicates the presence of a target-site resistance mechanism and induction of high GST activity may provide additional contribution to E. crus-galli mefenacet resistance through a non-target-site mechanism.
