Target-site resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides in Stellaria media, Papaver rhoeas, Glebionis segetum and Veronica persica from Ireland

The increasing reliance on acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides alone has resulted in the evolution of resistance in key broad-leaf species in cereal farms in Ireland. Our objective was to confirm and characterise the resistance levels and mechanisms in resistance-suspect populations (R...

Sumario:The increasing reliance on acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides alone has resulted in the evolution of resistance in key broad-leaf species in cereal farms in Ireland. Our objective was to confirm and characterise the resistance levels and mechanisms in resistance-suspect populations (R) of Stellaria media (STEME-R1, STEME-R2 and STEME-R3), Papaver rhoeas (PAPRH-R), Glebionis segetum (GLESE-R) and Veronica persica (VERPE-R) to two different ALS-inhibiting herbicide chemistries, sulfonylurea (SU) and triazolopyrimidine (TP). Following single-dose testing that confirmed inadequate control of all six R populations, dose–response experiments revealed varying resistance levels to SU and/or TP, which were associated with target-site resistance mutations. Weed species populations, STEME-R1 and STEME-R3 (both Trp-574-Leu), and STEME-R2 (combined Trp-574-Leu and Pro-197-Ser; first report for this species), and PAPRH-R (Trp-574-Leu, which was detected for the first time in all population plants, combined with Pro-197-His or Pro-197-Leu) and VERPE-R (Trp-574-Leu; first worldwide case) showed high resistance or cross-resistance to SU and TP. All herbicide-surviving plants tested were heterozygous for single or combined mutations. The G. segetum population, GLESE-R, had multiple substitutions and zygosity (Pro/Leu, Leu, Leu/Gln or Thr/Leu) at Pro-197, which was identified for the first time for this species conferred SU resistance only. Cytochrome P450 inhibitor studies on selected species did not detect metabolism-mediated resistance to SU or TP. Alternative herbicide modes of action alone or in co-formulation with ALS-TP should be used to manage these resistant populations. This study has added new information to the current knowledge of the resistance spectrum to ALS inhibitors in several broad-leaved weeds.
