Feng T, Wang L, Lei T, Wu B, Wu L, Wang J, Sun W, Li F, Li J, Ma H. A natural glutathione S-transferase gene GSTU23 confers metabolic resistance to metamifop in Echinochloa crus-galli. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 277:134078. [PMID: 39038575 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2024] [Revised: 06/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024]
Abstract
Herbicides are essential for farmers to control weed. However, prolonged use of herbicides has caused the development of herbicide resistance in weeds. Here, the resistant Echinochloa crus-galli (RL5) was obtained by continuous treatment with metamifop for five generations in paddy fields. RL5 plants showed a 13.7-fold higher resistance to metamifop compared to susceptible E. crus-galli (SL5) plants. Pre-treatment with GST inhibitor (NBD-Cl) significantly increased the susceptibility of RL5 plants to metamifop. Faster metamifop metabolism and higher GST activity in RL5 plants than in SL5 plants were also confirmed, highlighting the role of GST in metabolic resistance. RNA-Seq analysis identified EcGSTU23 as a candidate gene, and this gene was up-regulated in RL5 and field-resistant E. crus-galli plants. Furthermore, the EcGSTU23 gene was overexpressed in the transgenic EcGSTU23-Maize, and the EcGSTU23-Maize showed resistance to metamifop. In vitro metabolic studies also revealed that the purified EcGSTU23 displayed catalytic activity in glutathione (GSH) conjugation, and metamifop was rapidly metabolized in the co-incubation system containing EcGSTU23 protein. These results provide direct experimental evidence of EcGSTU23's involvement in the metabolic resistance of E. crus-galli to metamifop. Understanding the resistance mechanism can help in devising effective strategies to combat herbicide resistance and breeding of genetically modified herbicide resistant crops.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2024; 215:109083.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms by which weeds develop herbicide resistance is crucial for managing resistance effectively and optimizing herbicide use. Beckmannia syzigachne, a harmful grass weed prevalent in wheat and rice-wheat rotation areas, poses a significant threat to crop productivity. A field herbicide resistance survey identified a resistant population with a new ALS mutation (Asp-376-Glu). The Glu-376-Asp population displayed varying resistance levels to seven ALS herbicides, verified using the dCAPS method. qRT-PCR analysis showed that no significant difference existed in the ALS gene expression between the Asp-376-Glu and S populations. P450 and GST inhibitors failed to reverse resistance to mesosulfuron-methyl, suggesting no involvement of P450- and GST-based metabolic resistance. Molecular docking indicated that the Asp-376-Glu mutation reduces the binding affinity between ALS-inhibitors and BsALS. The findings provide valuable insights into herbicide resistance mechanisms for weed resistance control.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2024. [PMID: 39221966 DOI: 10.1002/ps.8398] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2023] [Revised: 08/06/2024] [Accepted: 08/19/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Echinochloa crus-galli is the most troublesome and widespread weed of most rice-growing regions of the world. Cyhalofop-butyl, a herbicide within the acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) chemical group, has been extensively used to control barnyardgrass in rice. The repeated exposure to cyhalofop-butyl has led to resistance evolution in E. crus-galli populations. RESULTS In this study, we identified a population of E. crus-galli (R-HN) in a rice field in Hunan, China, that developed resistance to cyhalofop-butyl at 4.49-fold the recommended field dose. No known target mutation was detected in the ACCase gene of the R-HN population by ACCase sequencing compared to sensitive populations. Both cytochrome P450 (CYP450) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) inhibitors could not significantly reverse the resistance to cyhalofop-butyl. The nontarget-site resistance (NTSR) mechanism was investigated by transcriptome sequencing. Validation of the screened candidate genes by quantitative real-time (qRT)-PCR revealed that six glycosyltransferases (GTs) and four ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes were consistently upregulated in the R-HN population. Five GTs and one ABC transporter genes were constitutively upregulated after cyhalofop-butyl treatment in the R-HN population. Molecular docking results showed that the significant binding energy of GT79, GT75L6 and GT74E among all candidate genes. CONCLUSION Thus, the GT genes appear to be directly implicated in NTSR to cyhalofop-butyl in the R-HN populations through metabolic enhancement, but their functional characterization needs to be studied. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

A novel mutation Trp-2027-Gly in acetyl-CoA carboxylase confers resistance to cyhalofop-butyl in Chinese sprangletop (Leptochloa chinensis). PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2024. [PMID: 39105535 DOI: 10.1002/ps.8353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2024] [Revised: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chinese sprangletop [Leptochloa chinensis (L.) Nees] control is threatened by resistance to acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides. In this study, a L. chinensis population, HFLJ18, that survived cyhalofop-butyl [aryloxyphenoxypropionate (APP) herbicide, CyB] treatment was collected from a rice field in Lujiang County, Anhui Province, China. This study aimed to evaluate the susceptibility of HFLJ18 to herbicides with different modes-of-action and investigate the potential mechanisms of resistance to CyB. RESULTS The HFLJ18 population exhibited high levels of resistance to CyB (10.92-fold) and showed resistance to the ACCase inhibitors metamifop (4.63-fold) and fenoxaprop-P-ethyl (8.39-fold), but was susceptible to clethodim, pinoxaden, florpyrauxifen-benzyl, oxadiazon and pretilachlor. Target gene sequencing revealed a novel Trp-to-Gly substitution at codon position 2027 of ACCase in the resistant plants. Molecular docking revealed that the spatial structure of ACCase changed significantly following the substitution, as indicated by reduced H-bonds. A newly derived cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (dCAPS) marker was subsequently developed to detect the Trp-2027-Gly mutation in the ACCase of L. chinensis. Additionally, pretreatment with the cytochrome P450 (P450) inhibitor piperonyl butoxide (PBO) and the glutathione S-transferase (GST) inhibitor 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD-Cl) did not reverse resistance to CyB, suggesting that nontarget-site resistance mechanisms were not involved in CyB resistance in the HFLJ18 population. CONCLUSION Overall, the resistance to CyB in the HFLJ18 population derived from the mutation of ACCase gene, and to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the ACCase Trp-2027-Gly mutation conferring resistance to ACCase-inhibiting herbicides in grass species. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Developing herbicide-resistant (HR) crop cultivars is an efficient way to control weeds and minimize crop yield losses. However, widespread and long-term herbicide application has led to the evolution of resistant weeds. Here, we established a resistant (R) E. indica population, collected from imidazolinone-resistant rice cultivar fields. RESULTS The R population evolved 4.5-fold resistance to imazamox. Acetolactate synthase (ALS) gene sequencing and ALS activity assays excluded the effect of target-site resistance in this population. P450 inhibitor malathion pretreatment significantly reversed resistance to imazamox. RNA sequencing showed that a P450 gene CYP81A104 was expressed higher in R versus susceptible (S) plants. Arabidopsis overexpressing CYP81A104 showed resistance to ALS inhibitors (imazamox, tribenuron-methyl, penoxsulam and flucarbazone-sodium), PSII inhibitor (bentazone), hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase inhibitor (mesotrione) and auxin mimics (MCPA), which was generally consistent with the results presented in the R population. CONCLUSION This study confirmed that the CYP81A104 gene endowed resistance to multiherbicides with different modes-of-action. Our findings provide an insight into the molecular characteristics of resistance and contribute to formulating an appropriate strategy for weed management in HR crops. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Tripyrasulfone is currently the only HPPD-inhibiting herbicide that possesses outstanding selectivity even for direct-seeded rice (Oryza sativa) when applied POST to control grass weeds; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, the inhibitory effects of the real active HDT of tripyrasulfone on recombinant 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPDs) from rice and barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) were similar, with consistent structural interactions and similar binding energies predicted by molecular docking. However, the HPPD expression level in rice was significantly greater than that in barnyard grass after tripyrasulfone treatment. Tripyrasulfone was rapidly taken up and hydrolyzed into HDT, which was similarly distributed within the whole plants of rice and barnyard grass at 24 h after treatment. Compared with barnyard grass, rice has more uniform epicuticular wax in the cuticle of its leaves, absorbing less tripyrasulfone and metabolizing much more tripyrasulfone. Overall, to a greater extent, the different sensitivities to tripyrasulfone between barnyard grass and rice resulted from metabolic variations.

Abstract
This study investigated the multiple herbicide resistance (MHR) mechanism of one Echinochloa crus-galli population that was resistant to florpyrauxifen-benzyl (FPB), cyhalofop-butyl (CHB), and penoxsulam (PEX). This population carried an Ala-122-Asn mutation in the acetolactate synthase (ALS) gene but no mutation in acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) and transport inhibitor response1 (TIR1) genes. The metabolism rate of PEX was 2-fold higher, and the production of florpyrauxifen-acid and cyhalofop-acid was lower in the resistant population. Malathion and 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD-Cl) could reverse the resistance, suggesting that cytochrome P450 (CYP450) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) contribute to the enhanced metabolism. According to RNA-seq and qRT-PCR validation, two CYP450 genes (CYP71C42 and CYP71D55), one GST gene (GSTT2), two glycosyltransferase genes (rhamnosyltransferase 1 and IAAGLU), and two ABC transporter genes (ABCG1 and ABCG25) were induced by CHB, FPB, and PEX in the resistant population. This study revealed that the target mutant and enhanced metabolism were involved in the MHR mechanism in E. crus-galli.

Abstract
Weeds pose a significant threat to crop production, resulting in substantial yield reduction. In addition, they possess robust weedy traits that enable them to survive in extreme environments and evade human control. In recent years, the application of multi-omics biotechnologies has helped to reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying these weedy traits. In this review, we systematically describe diverse applications of multi-omics platforms for characterizing key aspects of weed biology, including the origins of weed species, weed classification, and the underlying genetic and molecular bases of important weedy traits such as crop-weed interactions, adaptability to different environments, photoperiodic flowering responses, and herbicide resistance. In addition, we discuss limitations to the application of multi-omics techniques in weed science, particularly compared with their extensive use in model plants and crops. In this regard, we provide a forward-looking perspective on the future application of multi-omics technologies to weed science research. These powerful tools hold great promise for comprehensively and efficiently unraveling the intricate molecular genetic mechanisms that underlie weedy traits. The resulting advances will facilitate the development of sustainable and highly effective weed management strategies, promoting greener practices in agriculture.

Abstract
Together with rice, weeds strive for nutrients and space in farmland, resulting in reduced rice yield and quality. Planting herbicide-resistant rice varieties is one of the effective ways to control weeds. In recent years, a series of breakthroughs have been made to generate herbicide-resistant germplasm, especially the emergence of biotechnological tools such as gene editing, which provides an inherent advantage for the knock-out or knock-in of the desired genes. In order to develop herbicide-resistant rice germplasm resources, gene manipulation has been conducted to enhance the herbicide tolerance of rice varieties through the utilization of techniques such as physical and chemical mutagenesis, as well as genome editing. Based on the current research and persisting problems in rice paddy fields, research on the generation of herbicide-resistant rice still needs to explore genetic mechanisms, stacking multiple resistant genes in a single genotype, and transgene-free genome editing using the CRISPR system. Current rapidly developing gene editing technologies can be used to mutate herbicide target genes, enabling targeted genes to maintain their biological functions, and reducing the binding ability of target gene encoded proteins to corresponding herbicides, ultimately resulting in herbicide-resistant crops. In this review article, we have summarized the utilization of conventional and modern approaches to develop herbicide-resistant cultivars in rice as an effective strategy for weed control in paddy fields, and discussed the technology and research directions for creating herbicide-resistant rice in the future.

Liu L, Wu L, Li Z, Fang Y, Ju B, Zhang S, Bai L, Pan L. The Pro-197-Thr mutation in the ALS gene confers novel resistance patterns to ALS-inhibiting herbicides in Bromus japonicus in China. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2024; 15:1348815. [PMID: 38455726 PMCID: PMC10917945 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2024.1348815] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
Introduction Bromus japonicus is one of the most notorious agricultural weeds in China. The long-term use of ALS-inhibiting herbicides has led to rapid evolution of herbicide resistance in B. japonicus. B. japonicus population (BJ-R) surviving mesosulfuron-methyl treatment was collected from wheatland. Here, we aimed to confirm the resistance mechanisms in this putative resistant population. Methods The dose-reponse tests were used to test the resistance level of the B. japonicus to ALS-inhibiting herbicides. Pretreatment with P450 and GST inhibitors and GST activity assays were used to determine whether P450 or GST was involved in the resistance of the BJ-R population. Sanger sequencing was used to analyse the ALS mutation of the BJ-R population. RT-qPCR was used to confirm the the expression levels of the ALS gene in mesosulfuron-methyl -resistant (BJ-R) and-susceptible (BJ-S) B. japonicus. An in vitro ALS activity assay was used to determine the ALS activity of the BJ-R and BJ-S populations. Homology modelling and docking were used to determine the binding energy of the BJ-R and BJ-S populations with ALS-inhibiting herbicides. Results B. japonicus population (BJ-R) was confirmed to be 454- and 2.7-fold resistant to the SU herbicides mesosulfuron-methyl and nicosulfuron, and 7.3-, 2.3-, 1.1- and 10.8-fold resistant to the IMI herbicide imazamox, the TP herbicide penoxsulam, the PTB herbicide pyribenzoxim and the SCT herbicide flucarbazone-sodium, respectively, compared with its susceptible counterpart (BJ-S). Neither a P450 inhibitor nor a GST inhibitor could reverse the level of resistance to mesosulfuron-methyl in BJ-R. In addition, no significant differences in GST activity were found between the BJ-R and BJ-S. ALS gene sequencing revealed a Pro-197-Thr mutation in BJ-R, and the gene expression had no significant differences between the BJ-R and BJ-S. The ALS activity of BJ-R was 106-fold more tolerant to mesosulfuron-methyl than that of BJ-S. Molecular docking showed that the binding energy of the ALS active site and mesosulfuron-methyl was changed from -6.67 to -4.57 kcal mol-1 due to the mutation at position 197. Discussion These results suggested that the Pro-197-Thr mutation was the main reason for the high resistance level of BJ-R to mesosulfuron-methyl. Unlike previous reports of the cross-resistance pattern conferred by this mutation, we firstly documented that the Pro-197-Thr mutation confers broad cross-resistance spectrums to ALS-inhibiting herbicides in B. japonicus.

Abstract
Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) is an invasive species widely spread in croplands worldwide. The intensive use of glyphosate has resulted in the selection of resistance to this herbicide in Italian ryegrass. This work characterized the response to glyphosate of Italian ryegrass populations from the South and Southwest regions of Paraná, Brazil. A total of 44 Italian ryegrass populations were collected in farming areas, and were classified for glyphosate resistance with 75% of populations resistant to gloyphosate. Of these, 3 resistant (VT05AR, MR20AR and RN01AR) and three susceptible (VT07AS, MR05AS and RN01AS) of these populations were selected to determine the resistance level and the involvement of the target site mechanisms for glyphosate resistance. Susceptible populations GR50 ranged from 165.66 to 218.17 g.e.a. ha-1 and resistant populations from 569.37 to 925.94, providing RI ranging from 2.88 and 4.70. No mutation in EPSPS was observed in the populations, however, in two (MR20AR and RN02AR) of the three resistant populations, an increase in the number of copies of the EPSPs gene (11 to 57×) was detected. The number of copies showed a positive correlation with the gene expression (R2 = 0.86) and with the GR50 of the populations (R2 = 0.81). The increase in EPSPS gene copies contributes to glyphosate resistance in Italian ryegrass populations from Brazil.

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
Echinochloa phyllopogon, a malignant weed in Northeast China's paddy fields, is currently presenting escalating resistance concerns. Our study centered on the HJHL-715 E. phyllopogon population, which showed heightened resistance to penoxsulam, through a whole-plant bioassay. Pretreatment with a P450 inhibitor malathion significantly increased penoxsulam sensitivity in resistant plants. In order to determine the resistance mechanism of the resistant population, we purified the resistant population from individual plants and isolated target-site resistance (TSR) and nontarget-site resistance (NTSR) materials. Pro-197-Thr and Trp-574-Leu mutations in acetolactate synthase (ALS) 1 and ALS2 of the resistant population drove reduced sensitivity of penoxsulam to the target-site ALS, the primary resistance mechanisms. To fully understand the NTSR mechanism, NTSR materials were investigated by using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) combined with a reference genome. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) analysis further supported the enhanced penoxsulam metabolism in NTSR materials. Gene expression data and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) validation confirmed 29 overexpressed genes under penoxsulam treatment, with 16 genes concurrently upregulated with quinclorac and metamifop treatment. Overall, our study confirmed coexisting TSR and NTSR mechanisms in E. phyllopogon's resistance to ALS inhibitors.

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.

Abstract
The unique flavors of different fruits depend upon complex blends of soluble sugars, organic acids, and volatile organic compounds. 2-Phenylethanol and phenylacetaldehyde are major contributors to flavor in many foods, including tomato. In the tomato fruit, glucose, and fructose are the chemicals that most positively contribute to human flavor preferences. We identified a gene encoding a tomato aldo/keto reductase, Sl-AKR9, that is associated with phenylacetaldehyde and 2-phenylethanol contents in fruits. Two distinct haplotypes were identified; one encodes a chloroplast-targeted protein while the other encodes a transit peptide-less protein that accumulates in the cytoplasm. Sl-AKR9 effectively catalyzes reduction of phenylacetaldehyde to 2-phenylethanol. The enzyme can also metabolize sugar-derived reactive carbonyls, including glyceraldehyde and methylglyoxal. CRISPR-Cas9-induced loss-of-function mutations in Sl-AKR9 significantly increased phenylacetaldehyde and lowered 2-phenylethanol content in ripe fruit. Reduced fruit weight and increased soluble solids, glucose, and fructose contents were observed in the loss-of-function fruits. These results reveal a previously unidentified mechanism affecting two flavor-associated phenylalanine-derived volatile organic compounds, sugar content, and fruit weight. Modern varieties of tomato almost universally contain the haplotype associated with larger fruit, lower sugar content, and lower phenylacetaldehyde and 2-phenylethanol, likely leading to flavor deterioration in modern varieties.

Abstract
Frequent herbicide use selects for herbicide resistance in weeds. Cytochrome P450s are important detoxification enzymes responsible for herbicide resistance in plants. We identified and characterized a candidate P450 gene (BsCYP81Q32) from the problematic weed Beckmannia syzigachne to test whether it conferred metabolic resistance to the acetolactate synthase-inhibiting herbicides mesosulfuron-methyl, bispyribac-sodium, and pyriminobac-methyl. Transgenic rice overexpressing BsCYP81Q32 was resistant to the three herbicides. Equally, rice overexpressing the rice ortholog gene OsCYP81Q32 was more resistant to mesosulfuron-methyl. Conversely, an OsCYP81Q32 gene knockout generated using CRISPR/Cas9 enhanced mesosulfuron-methyl sensitivity in rice. Overexpression of the BsCYP81Q32 gene resulted in enhanced mesosulfuron-methyl metabolism in transgenic rice seedlings via O-demethylation. The major metabolite, demethylated mesosulfuron-methyl, was chemically synthesized and displayed reduced herbicidal effect in plants. Moreover, a transcription factor (BsTGAL6) was identified and shown to bind a key region in the BsCYP81Q32 promoter for gene activation. Inhibition of BsTGAL6 expression by salicylic acid treatment in B. syzigachne plants reduced BsCYP81Q32 expression and consequently changed the whole plant response to mesosulfuron-methyl. Sequence polymorphisms in an important region of the BsTGAL6 promoter may explain the higher expression of BsTGAL6 in resistant versus susceptible B. syzigachne plants. Collectively, the present study reveals the evolution of an herbicide-metabolizing and resistance-endowing P450 and its transcription regulation in an economically important weedy plant species.

Abstract
Polyploidy confers a selective advantage under stress conditions; however, whether polyploidization mediates enhanced herbicide adaptation remains largely unknown. Tetraploid Leptochloa chinensis is a notorious weed in the rice ecosystem, causing severe yield loss in rice. In China, L. chinensis has only one sister species, the diploid L. panicea, whose damage is rarely reported. To gain insights into the effects of polyploidization on herbicide adaptation, we first assembled a high-quality genome of L. panicea and identified genome structure variations with L. chinensis. Moreover, we identified herbicide-resistance genes specifically expanded in L. chinensis, which may confer a greater herbicide adaptability in L. chinensis. Analysis of gene retention and loss showed that five herbicide target-site genes and several herbicide nontarget-site resistance gene families were retained during polyploidization. Notably, we identified three pairs of polyploidization-retained genes including LcABCC8, LcCYP76C1 and LcCYP76C4 that may enhance herbicide resistance. More importantly, we found that both copies of LcCYP76C4 were under herbicide selection during the spread of L. chinensis in China. Furthermore, we identified another gene potentially involved in herbicide resistance, LcCYP709B2, which is also retained during polyploidization and under selection. This study provides insights into the genomic basis of the enhanced herbicide adaptability of Leptochloa weeds during polyploidization and provides guidance for the precise and efficient control of polyploidy weeds.

Abstract
The adaptation of weeds to herbicide is both a significant problem in agriculture and a model of rapid adaptation. However, significant gaps remain in our knowledge of resistance controlled by many loci and the evolutionary factors that influence the maintenance of resistance. Here, using herbicide-resistant populations of the common morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea), we perform a multilevel analysis of the genome and transcriptome to uncover putative loci involved in nontarget-site herbicide resistance (NTSR) and to examine evolutionary forces underlying the maintenance of resistance in natural populations. We found loci involved in herbicide detoxification and stress sensing to be under selection and confirmed that detoxification is responsible for glyphosate (RoundUp) resistance using a functional assay. We identified interchromosomal linkage disequilibrium (ILD) among loci under selection reflecting either historical processes or additive effects leading to the resistance phenotype. We further identified potential fitness cost loci that were strongly linked to resistance alleles, indicating the role of genetic hitchhiking in maintaining the cost. Overall, our work suggests that NTSR glyphosate resistance in I. purpurea is conferred by multiple genes which are potentially maintained through generations via ILD, and that the fitness cost associated with resistance in this species is likely a by-product of genetic hitchhiking.

[PMID: 36527683 DOI: 10.1002/ps.7325] [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: 10/21/2022] [Revised: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We have previously demonstrated that an aldo-keto reductase (AKR) from Echinochloa colona (EcAKR4-1) can metabolize glyphosate and confers glyphosate resistance. This study aims to investigate if the EcAKR4-1 orthologs from Lolium rigidum also play a role in glyphosate resistance in non-target-site based, glyphosate-resistant (R) L. rigidum populations from Western Australia. RESULTS The full-length L. rigidum AKR gene (LrAKR4C10) orthologous to EcAKR4-1, together with a distinct LrAKR1, were cloned from plants of a glyphosate-susceptible (S) (VLR1) and three glyphosate R L. rigidum populations (WALR50, WALR60 and WALR70). Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) results showed that basal expression levels of the two LrAKR genes did not differ between the R and S populations, but their expression was significantly induced by glyphosate (up to 4.3-fold) or 2,4-D treatment (up to 3.4-fold) in R populations. Escherichia coli cells transformed respectively with LrAKR4C10 and LrAKR1 were more tolerant to glyphosate. Rice (Oryza sativa) seedlings overexpressing each of the two LrAKR gene survived glyphosate rates that were lethal to the green fluorescence protein (GFP) control plants. Structural modeling predicts a similar way of glyphosate binding and detoxification by LrAKR4C10 and EcAKR4-1, but an alternative way of glyphosate binding by LrAKR1. Relatively lower capacity of the two LrAKRs in conferring glyphosate resistance than the known EcAKR4-1 was discussed in relation to structural interaction. CONCLUSION Glyphosate-induced higher expression of the two LrAKR genes in L. rigidum populations contributes to a moderate level of glyphosate resistance likely through enhanced glyphosate metabolism. The herbicide 2,4-D can also induce the LrAKR expression, indicating the potential antagonistic effect of 2,4-D to glyphosate. © 2022 The Authors.

Abstract
Glyphosate has been the most widely used herbicide for decades providing a unique tool, alone or in mixtures, to control weeds on citrus in Veracruz. Conyza canadensis has developed glyphosate resistance for the first time in Mexico. The level and mechanisms of resistance of four resistant populations Rs (R1, R2, R3, and R4) were studied and compared with that of a susceptible population (S). Resistance factor levels showed two moderately resistant populations (R2 and R3) and two highly resistant populations (R1 and R4). Glyphosate translocation through leaves to roots was ∼2.8 times higher in the S population than in the four R populations. A mutation (Pro106Ser) in the EPSPS2 gene was identified in the R1 and R4 populations. Mutation in the target site associated with reduced translocation is involved in increased glyphosate resistance in the R1 and R4 populations; whereas for the R2 and R3 populations, it was only mediated by reduced translocation. This is the first study of glyphosate resistance in C. canadensis from Mexico in which the resistance mechanisms involved are described in detail and control alternatives are proposed.

Abstract
Globally, weedy plants are a major constraint to sustainable crop production. Much of the success of weeds rests with their ability to rapidly adapt in the face of human-mediated management of agroecosystems. Alopecurus myosuroides (blackgrass) is a widespread and impactful weed affecting agriculture in Europe. Here we report a chromosome-scale genome assembly of blackgrass and use this reference genome to explore the genomic/genetic basis of non-target site herbicide resistance (NTSR). Based on our analysis of F2 seed families derived from two distinct blackgrass populations with the same NTSR phenotype, we demonstrate that the trait is polygenic and evolves from standing genetic variation. We present evidence that selection for NTSR has signatures of both parallel and non-parallel evolution. There are parallel and non-parallel changes at the transcriptional level of several stress- and defence-responsive gene families. At the genomic level, however, the genetic loci underpinning NTSR are different (non-parallel) between seed families. We speculate that variation in the number, regulation and function of stress- and defence-related gene families enable weedy species to rapidly evolve NTSR via exaptation of genes within large multi-functional gene families. These results provide novel insights into the potential for, and nature of plant adaptation in rapidly changing environments.

Constitutive overexpression of EPSPS by gene duplication is involved in glyphosate resistance in Salsola tragus. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2023; 79:1062-1068.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glyphosate-resistant Salsola tragus accessions have been identified in the USA and Argentina; however, the mechanisms of glyphosate resistance have not been elucidated. The goal of this study was to determine the mechanism/s of glyphosate resistance involved in two S. tragus populations (R1 and R2) from Argentina. RESULTS Both glyphosate-resistant populations had a six-fold lower sensitivity to glyphosate than the S population (i.e. resistance index). No evidence of differential absorption, translocation or metabolism of glyphosate was found in the R1 and R2 populations compared to a susceptible population (S). No 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) mutations were detected, but S. tragus R1 and R2 plants had ≈14-fold higher EPSPS gene relative copy number compared to the S counterpart. In R1 and R2, EPSPS duplication entailed a greater constitutive EPSPS transcript abundance by approximately seven-fold and a basal EPSPS activity approximately three-fold higher than the S population. CONCLUSION The current study reports EPSPS gene duplication for the first time as a mechanism of glyphosate resistance in S. tragus populations. The increase of glyphosate dose needed to kill R1 and R2 plants was linked to the EPSPS transcript abundance and level of EPSPS activity. This evidence supports the convergent evolution of the overexpression of the EPSPS gene in several Chenopodiaceae/Amaranthaceae species adapted to drought environments and the role of gene duplication as an adaptive advantage for plants to withstand stress. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Genes that participate in the degradation or isolation of glyphosate in plants are promising, for they endow crops with herbicide tolerance with a low glyphosate residue. Recently, the aldo-keto reductase (AKR4) gene in Echinochloa colona (EcAKR4) was identified as a naturally evolved glyphosate-metabolism enzyme. Here, we compared the glyphosate-degradation ability of theAKR4 proteins from maize, soybean and rice, which belong to a clade containing EcAKR4 in the phylogenetic tree, by incubation of glyphosate with AKR proteins both in vivo and in vitro. The results indicated that, except for OsALR1, the other proteins were characterized as glyphosate-metabolism enzymes, with ZmAKR4 ranked the highest activity, and OsAKR4-1 and OsAKR4-2 exhibiting the highest activity among the AKR4 family in rice. Moreover, OsAKR4-1 was confirmed to endow glyphosate-tolerance at the plant level. Our study provides information on the mechanism underlying the glyphosate-degradation ability of AKR proteins in crops, which enables the development of glyphosate-resistant crops with a low glyphosate residue, mediated by AKRs.

Abstract
The intensive global use of glyphosate has led to the evolution of glyphosate resistant (GR) weed species, including the economically damaging horseweed (Conyza sumatrensis). We evaluated the glyphosate resistance mechanisms of C. sumatrensis. While 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase activity was similar between the glyphosate resistant (GR) and nonresistant biotypes, plants from the GR population accumulated lower shikimate levels than susceptible ones, suggesting the absence of target-site resistance mechanisms. Decreases over time in glyphosate concentrations in GR leaves were not accompanied by increases in glyphosate concentrations in their stem and roots, indicating lower glyphosate distribution rates in GR plants. The early appearance of aminomethylphosphonic acid (the main glyphosate metabolite) in leaves, as well as its presence only in the stems and roots of GR plants, suggests faster glyphosate metabolism in GR plants than in susceptible ones. GR plants treated with glyphosate also showed greater antioxidant (ascorbate peroxidase [APX] and catalase [CAT]) and cytochrome P450-enzyme activities, indicating their great capacity to avoid glyphosate-induced oxidative stress. Three non-target mechanisms (reduced glyphosate translocation, increased metabolism, and increased antioxidant activity) therefore confer glyphosate resistance in C. sumatrensis plants. This is the first time that APX, CAT and P450-enzyme activities are related to GR in C. sumatrensis.

Abstract
Introduction Alopecurus aequalis is a grass species invading Chinese canola and wheat fields. An A. aequalis KMN-R population surviving mesosulfuron-methyl treatment with recommended rates was acquired from wheatland. Here, we aimed to confirm the resistance profiles of KMN-R to acetolactate synthetase (ALS) inhibiting herbicides and explore the possible resistance mechanisms to mesosulfuron-methyl in this weed population. Methods The dose-response tests performed in our study were used to test the toxicity of A. aequalis to ALS-inhibiting herbicides. Sanger sequencing was used to analyze the ALS gene of mesosulfuron-methyl -resistant and -susceptible A. aequalis. RNA sequencing analysis was used to find candidate genes that may confer metabolic resistance to the mesosulfuron-methyl in resistant A. aequalis population. Mesosulfuron-methyl -resistant and -susceptible A. aequalis populations fungal composition was measured via Illumina MiSeq Sequencing. Results Dose-response results indicated that KMN-R population evolved resistance to mesosulfuron-methyl and other tested ALS-inhibiting herbicides. Known resistance-conferring Trp-574-Leu gene mutation in A. aequalis ALS was detected in the KMN-R population. Pretreatment with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzoxadiazole reversed mesosulfuron-methyl resistance in KMN-R. Glutathione S-transferases (GST) gene GSTZ2 and GSTT3 were highly expressed in KMN-R population. In addition, we evaluated the alpha diversity in A. aequalis, centering on OTU abundance, equality, and multiplicity, and found that the fungal community composition had more unexplained variance between KMN-R and KMN-S A. aequalis. We also observed higher abundances of specific fungi in KMN-R A. aequalis. Discussion The results proved that resistance to mesosulfuron-methyl in A. aequalis KMN-R population is probably caused by target site- and non-target site-based relating GST and provided the basis for further research between fungal interaction and herbicide resistance.

Abstract
Glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide and is widely used for weed control in non-cultivated land in China. One susceptible (S) and five putative glyphosate-resistant (R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5) Eleusine indica biotypes were selected to investigate their resistance levels and the potential resistance mechanisms. Based on the dose-response assays, the R3 and R5 biotypes showed a low-level (2.4 to 3.5-fold) glyphosate resistance, and the R1, R2, and R4 biotypes exhibited a moderate- to high-level (8.6 to 19.2-fold) resistance, compared with the S biotype. The analysis of the target-site resistance (TSR) mechanism revealed that the P106A mutation and the heterozygous double T102I + P106S mutation were found in the R3 and R4 biotypes, respectively. In addition, the similar EPSPS gene overexpression was observed in the R1, R2, and R5 biotypes, suggesting that additional non-target-site resistance (NTSR) mechanisms may contribute to glyphosate resistance in R1 and R2 biotypes. Subsequently, an RNA-Seq analysis was performed to identify candidate genes involved in NTSR. In total, ten differentially expressed contigs between untreated S and R1 or R2 plants, and between glyphosate-treated S and R1 or R2 plants, were identified and further verified with RT-qPCR. One ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter gene, one aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) gene and one cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CytP450) gene were up-regulated in R1 or R2 plants. These results indicated that EPSPS overexpression, single or double mutation was a common TSR mechanisms in E. indica. Additional NTSR mechanisms could play an essential role in glyphosate resistance. Three genes, ABCC4, AKR4C10, and CYP88, could serve as important candidate genes and deserve further functional studies.

Abstract
Silene conoidea L. is an annual troublesome broadleaf weed in winter wheat fields in China. In recent years, field applications of tribenuron-methyl have been ineffective in controlling S. conoidea in Hebei Province, China. The aim of this study was to determine the molecular basis of tribenuron-methyl resistance in S. conoidea. Whole-plant response assays revealed that the resistant population (R) exhibited a higher level of resistance (382.3-fold) to tribenuron-methyl. The R population also showed high cross-resistance to other acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors, including imazethapyr, bispyribac-sodium and florasulam. However, the R population could be controlled by the field-recommended rates of bentazone, MCPA, fluroxypyr, carfentrazone-ethyl and bromoxynil. In vitro ALS activity assays indicated that the tribenuron-methyl I50 value for the R population was 18.5 times higher than those for the susceptible population (S). ALS gene sequencing revealed an amino acid mutation, Trp-574-Leu, in the R population. Pretreatment with the P450 inhibitor malathion indicated that the R population might have cytochrome P450-mediated metabolic resistance. These results suggest that the Trp-574-Leu mutation and P450-mediated enhanced metabolism coexist in S. conoidea to generate tribenuron-methyl resistance. This is the first time that target-site and non-target-site resistance to tribenuron-methyl has been reported in S. conoidea.

Abstract
Glyphosate residues retained in the growing meristematic tissues or in grains of glyphosate-resistant crops affect the plants physiological functions and crop yield. Removing glyphosate residues in the plants is desirable with no penalty on crop yield and quality. We report a new combination of scientific strategy to detoxify glyphosate that reduces the residual levels and improve crop resistance. The glyphosate detoxifying enzymes Aldo-keto reductase (AKR1) and mutated glycine oxidase (mGO) with different modes of action were co-expressed with modified EPSPS, which is insensitive to glyphosate in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) and rice (Oryza sativa L.). The transgenic tobacco plants expressing individual PsAKR1, mGO, CP4-EPSPS, combinations of PsAKR1:CP4EPSPS, PsAKR1:mGO, and multigene with PsAKR1: mGO: CP4EPSPS genes were developed. The bio-efficacy studies of in-vitro leaf regeneration on different concentrations of glyphosate, seedling bioassay, and spray on transgenic tobacco plants demonstrate that glyphosate detoxification with enhanced resistance. Comparative analysis of the transgenic tobacco plants reveals that double and multigene expressing transgenics had reduced accumulation of shikimic acid, glyphosate, and its primary residue AMPA, and increased levels of sarcosine were observed in all PsAKR1 expressing transgenics. The multigene expressing rice transgenics showed improved glyphosate resistance with yield maintenance. In summary, results suggest that stacking genes with two different detoxification mechanisms and insensitive EPSPS is a potential approach for developing glyphosate-resistant plants with less residual content.

Abstract
Penoxsulam is an important herbicide for the control of Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv. Two resistant populations 17GA (R1) and 16NXB (R2) showed 17- and 3-fold resistance to penoxsulam, respectively. A known resistance mutation of Trp-574-Leu in ALS gene and enhanced rates of penoxsulam metabolism likely involving GST contribute to penoxsulam resistance in R1 population. This population had resistance to the ALS-inhibitors pyribenzoxim and bispyribac‑sodium and the auxin herbicide quinclorac, but was susceptible to ACCase-inhibitors quizalofop-p-ethyl and cyhalofop-butyl. No known mutations in the ALS gene conferring target site resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides were presented in R2 population. However, penoxsulam metabolism in R2 plants was about 4-fold greater than in susceptible population 14YC (S0) plants. The enzyme inhibitors piperonyl butoxide, malathion and 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzoxadiazole reversed penoxsulam resistance in this population. GST and P450 enzyme activities and the genes of GST1-1, GST1-2, GST1-3, CYP81A18, CYP81A12, CYP81A21 were increased significantly in R2 population. These results indicate that multiple resistance mechanisms had occurred in E. crus-galli populations in central China and resistance needs to be managed effectively by diverse chemical and non-chemical methods.

Abstract
Aegilops tauschii Coss. is a malignant weed in wheat fields in China, its herbicide resistance has been threatening crop production. This study identified one mesosulfuron-methyl-resistant(R) population, JJMHN2018-05 (R), without target resistance mutations. To fully understand the resistance mechanism, non-target site resistance was investigated by using transcriptome sequencing combined with a reference genome. Results showed that the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450) inhibitor malathion significantly increased the mesosulfuron-methyl sensitivity in R plants, and greater herbicide-induced glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity was also confirmed. Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry analysis further supported the enhanced mesosulfuron-methyl metabolism in R plants. Gene expression data analysis and qRT-PCR validation indicated that eight P450s, six GSTs, two glycosyltransferases (GTs), four peroxidases, and one aldo-keto reductase (AKRs) stably upregulated in R plants. This research demonstrates that the P450s and GSTs involved in enhanced mesosulfuron-methyl metabolism contribute to mesosulfuron-methyl resistance in A. tauschii and identifies potential contributors from metabolic enzyme families.

Abstract
Glyphosate is a dominant organophosphate herbicide that inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) of the shikimate pathway. Glyphosate is extensively applied since manufactured, which has led to the emergence of various glyphosate-resistant crops and weeds. However, the molecular mechanism of many glyphosate-resistance machineries remains unclear. Recently, the upregulated expression of two homologous aldo-keto reductases (AKRs), designated as AKR4C16 and AKR4C17, were found to contribute to the glyphosate resistance in Echinochloa colona. This represents the first naturally evolved glyphosate-degrading machinery reported in plants. Here, we report the three-dimensional structure of these two AKR enzymes in complex with cofactor by performing X-ray crystallography. Furthermore, the binding-mode of glyphosate were elucidated in a ternary complex of AKR4C17. Based on the structural information and the previous study, we proposed a possible mechanism of action of AKR-mediated glyphosate degradation. In addition, a variant F291D of AKR4C17 that was constructed based on structure-based engineering showed a 70% increase in glyphosate degradation. In conclusion, these results demonstrate the structural features and glyphosate-binding mode of AKR4C17, which increases our understanding of the enzymatic mechanism of glyphosate bio-degradation and provides an important basis for the designation of AKR-based glyphosate-resistance for further applications.

Abstract
Glyphosate is one of the most widely used non-selective herbicides, and the creation of glyphosate-resistant cultivars solves the problem of limited spraying area. Therefore, it is of great significance to quickly identify resistant cultivars without destruction during the development of superior cultivars. This work took maize seedlings as the experimental object, and the spectral indices of leaves were calculated to construct a model with good robustness that could be used in different experiments. Compared with no transfer strategies, transferability of support vector machine learning model was improved by randomly selecting 14% of source domain from target domain to train and applying transfer component analysis algorithm, the accuracy on target domain reached 83% (increased by 71%), recall increased from 10 to 100%, and F1-score increased from 0.17 to 0.86. The overall results showed that both transfer component analysis algorithm and updating source domain could improve the transferability of model among experiments, and these two transfer strategies could complement each other's advantages to achieve the best classification performance. Therefore, this work is beneficial to timely understanding of the physiological status of plants, identifying glyphosate resistant cultivars, and ultimately provides theoretical basis and technical support for new cultivar creation and high-throughput selection.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2022; 78:3135-3143.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Digitaria sanguinalis has been identified as a species at high risk of evolving herbicide resistance, but thus far, there are no records of resistance to glyphosate. This weed is one of the most common weeds of summer crops in extensive cropping areas in Argentina. It shows an extended period of seedling emergence with several overlapping cohorts during spring and summer, and is commonly controlled with glyphosate. However, a D. sanguinalis population was implicated as a putative glyphosate-resistant biotype based on poor control at recommended glyphosate doses. RESULTS The field-collected D. sanguinalis population (Dgs R) from the Rolling Pampas has evolved glyphosate resistance. Differences in plant survival and shikimate levels after field-recommended and higher glyphosate doses were evident between Dgs R and the known susceptible (Dgs S) population; the resistance index was 5.1. No evidence of differential glyphosate absorption, translocation, metabolism or basal EPSPS activity was found between Dgs S and Dgs R populations; however, a novel EPSPS Pro-106-His point substitution is probably the primary glyphosate resistance-endowing mechanism. EPSPS in vitro enzymatic activity demonstrated that an 80-fold higher concentration of glyphosate is required in Dgs R to achieve similar EPSPS activity inhibition to that in the Dgs S population. CONCLUSION This study reports the first global case of glyphosate resistance in D. sanguinalis. This unlikely yet novel transversion at the second position of the EPSPS 106 codon demonstrates the intensity of glyphosate pressure in selecting unexpected glyphosate resistance alleles if they retain EPSPS functionality. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Herbicides are key weed-control tools, but their repeated use across large areas has favored the evolution of herbicide resistance. Although target-site has been the most prevalent and studied type of resistance, non-target-site resistance (NTSR) is increasing. However, the genetic factors involved in NTSR are widely unknown. In this study, four gene groups encoding putative NTSR enzymes, namely, cytochrome-P450, glutathione-S-transferase (GST), uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT), and nitronate monooxygenase (NMO) were analyzed. The monocot and dicot gene sequences were downloaded from publicly available databases. Phylogenetic trees revealed that most of the CYP450 resistance-related sequences belong to CYP81 (5), and in GST, most of the resistance sequences belonged to GSTU18 (9) and GSTF6 (8) groups. In addition, the study of upstream promoter sequences of these NTSR genes revealed stress-related cis-regulatory motifs, as well as eight transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) were identified. The discovered TFBS were commonly present in both monocots and dicots, and the identified motifs are known to play key roles in countering abiotic stress. Further, we predicted the 3D structure for the resistant CYP450 and GST protein and identified the substrate recognition site through the homology approach. Our description of putative NTSR enzymes may be used to develop innovative weed control techniques to delay the evolution of NTSR.

Abstract
Myosoton aquaticum L. is a competitive broadleaf weed commonly found in wheat fields in China and has become challenging due to its evolving herbicide resistance. In this study, one subpopulation, RF1 (derived from the tribenuron-methyl-resistant population HN10), with none of the known acetolactate synthase (ALS) resistance mutations was confirmed to exhibit resistance to tribenuron-methyl (SU), pyrithiobac‑sodium (PTB), florasulam (TP), flucarbazone-Na (SCT), and diflufenican (PDS). In vitro ALS activity assays showed that the total ALS activity of RF1 was lower than that of the susceptible (S) population. However, there was no difference in ALS gene expression induced by tribenuron-methyl between the two populations. The combination of the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450) inhibitor malathion and tribenuron-methyl resulted in the RF1 population behaving like the S population. The rapid P450-mediated tribenuron-methyl metabolism in RF1 plants was also confirmed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. In addition, approximately equal glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity was observed in RF1 and S plants of untreated and tribenuron-methyl treated groups. This study reported one M. aquaticum L. population without ALS resistance mutations exhibiting resistance to ALS inhibitors and the PDS inhibitor diflufenican, and the non-target-site resistance mechanism played a vital role in herbicide resistance.

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.

Abstract
Long-term and excessive herbicide use has led to some environmental concerns and especially, herbicide resistance evolution in weeds. Here, we confirmed acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibiting herbicide penoxsulam resistance and cross resistance to acetyl-coenzyme carboxylase (ACCase) inhibiting herbicides (cyhalofop-butyl and metamifop) in a global weed Echinochloa crus-galli population resistant to these herbicides (R). Penoxsulam metabolism study indicated that degradation rate was significantly higher in R than susceptible E. crus-galli population (S). RNA-sequencing revealed that a cytochrome P450 (P450) gene, CYP81A68, expressed higher in R versus S. Rice seedlings overexpressing this CYP81A68 gene are resistant to penoxsulam, cyhalofop-butyl and metamifop, and penoxsulam resistance is due to enhanced metabolism via O-demethylation. Deletion analysis of the CYP81A68 gene promoter identified an efficient region, in which differential methylation of CpG islands occurred between R and S. Collectively, these results demonstrate that upregulation of E. crus-galli CYP81A68 gene endows generalist metabolic resistance to commonly used ALS- and ACCase-inhibiting herbicides in rice fields and epigenetic regulation may play a role in the resistance evolution. This research could contribute to strategies reducing herbicide environmental impacts by judicious selection of alternative herbicide and non-chemical control tactics.

Barua R, Malone J, Boutsalis P, Gill G, Preston C. Inheritance and mechanism of glyphosate resistance in annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.). PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2022; 78:1377-1385. [PMID: 34894201 DOI: 10.1002/ps.6754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2021] [Revised: 12/07/2021] [Accepted: 12/11/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In initial screening, glyphosate was ineffective in controlling five Poa annua populations. These populations were tested for resistance, and studies undertaken to determine resistance mechanisms and inheritance pattern. RESULTS Dose-response studies conducted at 16/12°C and 27/20°C on the five putative resistant populations showed low-level resistance (1.4- to 2.5-fold) to glyphosate. Shikimic acid accumulation in response to glyphosate confirmed differences among the populations, with greater shikimic acid accumulation in the susceptible population. The EPSPS gene copy number was 0.5- to 5.2-fold greater in one resistant population (HT) than in the susceptible (S) population, but not in the others. EPSPS gene expression was five- to tenfold higher in HT compared with the susceptible population. Target site mutations, differences in glyphosate absorption or translocation or altered expression of aldo-keto reductase (AKR) were not identified in any of the resistant populations. Crosses were successful between one resistant population and the susceptible population (P262-16♂ ✕ S♀) and inheritance of glyphosate resistance appears to be controlled by a single, nuclear dominant gene in this population. CONCLUSION Our study identified EPSPS gene amplification in a South Australian glyphosate-resistant P. annua population (HT). This mechanism of resistance was not identified in the other four glyphosate-resistant populations, and other common mechanisms were excluded. Although the resistance mechanism in some P. annua populations remains unknown, inheritance studies with one population suggest the involvement of a single dominant gene. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Phylogenomic classification and synteny network analyses deciphered the evolutionary landscape of aldo-keto reductase (AKR) gene superfamily in the plant kingdom. Gene 2022; 816:146169. [PMID: 35026291 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2021.146169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2021] [Revised: 10/29/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Aldo-keto reductase-domain (PF00248) containing proteins (AKRs) are NAD(P)(H)-dependent oxidoreductases of a multigene superfamily that mediate versatile functions in plants ranging from detoxification, metal chelation, potassium ion efflux to specialized metabolism. To uncover the complete repertoire of AKR gene superfamily in plants, a systematic kingdom-wide identification, phylogeny reconstruction, classification and synteny network clustering analyses were performed in this study using 74 diverse plant genomes. Plant AKRs were omnipresent, legitimately classified into 4 groups (based on phylogeny) and 14 subgroups (based on the ≥ 60% of protein sequence identity). Species composition of AKR subgroups highlights their distinct emergence during plant evolution. Loss of AKR subgroups among plants was apparent and that various lineage-, order/family- and species-specific losses were observed. The subgroups IA, IVB and IVF were flourished and diversified well during plant evolution, likely related to the complexity of plant's specialized metabolism and environmental adaptation. About 65% of AKRs were in genomic synteny regions across the plant kingdom and the AKRs relevant to important functions (e.g. vitamin B6 metabolism) were in profoundly conserved angiosperm-wide synteny communities. This study underscores the evolutionary landscape of plant AKRs and provides a comprehensive resource to facilitate the functional characterization of them.

Abstract
Multiple herbicide resistance in diverse weed species endowed by enhanced herbicide detoxification or degradation is rapidly growing into a great threat to herbicide sustainability and global food safety. Although metabolic resistance is frequently documented in the economically damaging arable weed species shortawn foxtail (Alopecurus aequalis Sobol.), relevant molecular knowledge has been lacking. Previously, we identified a field population of A. aequalis (R) that had evolved metabolic resistance to the commonly used acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicide mesosulfuron-methyl. RNA sequencing was used to discover potential herbicide metabolism-related genes, and four cytochrome P450s (CYP709C56, CYP71R18, CYP94C117, and CYP94E14) were identified with higher expressions in the R vs. susceptible (S) plants. Here the full-length P450 complementary DNA transcripts were each cloned with identical sequences between the S and R plants. Transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing CYP709C56 became resistant to the sulfonylurea herbicide mesosulfuron-methyl and the triazolo-pyrimidine herbicide pyroxsulam. This resistance profile generally but does not completely in accordance with what is evident in the R A. aequalis. Transgenic lines exhibited enhanced capacity for detoxifying mesosulfuron-methyl into O-demethylated metabolite, which is in line with the detection of O-demethylated herbicide metabolite in vitro in transformed yeast. Structural modeling predicted that mesosulfuron-methyl binds to CYP709C56 involving amino acid residues Thr-328, Thr-500, Asn-129, Gln-392, Phe-238, and Phe-242 for achieving O-demethylation. Constitutive expression of CYP709C56 was highly correlated with the metabolic mesosulfuron-methyl resistance in A. aequalis. These results indicate that CYP709C56 degrades mesosulfuron-methyl and its up-regulated expression in A. aequalis confers resistance to mesosulfuron-methyl.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic resistance is a worldwide concern for weed control but has not yet been well-characterized at the genetic level. Previously, we have identified an Asia minor bluegrass (Polypogon fugax Nees ex Steud.) population AHHY exhibiting cytochrome P450 (P450)-involved metabolic resistance to fenoxaprop-P-ethyl. In this study, we aimed to confirm the metabolic fenoxaprop-P-ethyl resistance in AHHY and uncover the potential herbicide metabolism-related genes in this economically damaging weed species. RESULTS Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assays indicated the metabolic rates of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl were significantly faster in resistant (R, AHHY) than in susceptible (S, SDTS) plants. The amount of phytotoxic fenoxaprop-P peaked at 12 h after herbicide treatment (HAT) and started to decrease at 24 HAT in both biotypes. R and S plants at 24 HAT were sampled to conduct isoform-sequencing (Iso-Seq) and RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq). A reference transcriptome containing 24 972 full-length isoforms was obtained, of which 24 329 unigenes were successfully annotated. Transcriptomic profiling identified 28 detoxifying enzyme genes constitutively and/or herbicide-induced up-regulated in R than in S plants. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) confirmed 17 genes were consistently up-regulated in R and its F1 generation plants. They were selected as potential fenoxaprop-P-ethyl metabolism-related genes, including ten P450s, one glutathione-S-transferase, one UDP-glucosyltransferase, and five adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette transporters. CONCLUSION This study revealed that the enhanced rates of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl metabolism in P. fugax were very likely driven by the herbicide metabolism-related genes. The transcriptome data generated by Iso-Seq combined with RNA-Seq will provide abundant gene resources for understanding the molecular mechanisms of resistance in P. fugax.

Abstract
Long-term reliance on herbicide weed control has led to resistance evolution in Eleusine indica in sugarcane fields of Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. Ninety-six E. indica lines were collected from this region, and their response was tested to six herbicides: glyphosate; glufosinate; PSII-inhibitors diuron and atrazine; and PSI inhibitors paraquat and diquat. Target-site resistance mechanisms were examined in specific lines with multiple resistance to three herbicide modes of action. Of 96 E. indica lines, 51, 26, and 24 lines had resistance to diuron, atrazine, and diquat, respectively, while 14 and 9 had resistance to paraquat and glyphosate. Among 25 lines tested with multiple resistance, 7 lines exhibited resistance to three herbicide modes of action. In two multiple resistant lines (GXER2, GXER5), amplification/over-expression/mutations of the EPSPS gene contributed to the very high-level (up to 109-fold) glyphosate resistance. No target-site mutations/over-expression were identified in the psbA gene in these two lines, so non-target-site resistance mechanisms were likely responsible for the low-level (3-fold) resistance to the PSII herbicides diuron and atrazine. A high-level (23-fold) of paraquat resistance was observed in GXER5, and a low-level (5-fold) paraquat resistance was found in GXER2. Multiple herbicide resistance in E. indica has evolved in sugarcane fields of Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region with diverse resistance mechanisms. Therefore, diversified weed control tactics should be adopted to prevent this weed.

Abstract
As one of the great survivors of the plant kingdom, barnyard grasses (Echinochloa spp.) are the most noxious and common weeds in paddy ecosystems. Meanwhile, at least two Echinochloa species have been domesticated and cultivated as millets. In order to better understand the genomic forces driving the evolution of Echinochloa species toward weed and crop characteristics, we assemble genomes of three Echinochloa species (allohexaploid E. crus-galli and E. colona, and allotetraploid E. oryzicola) and re-sequence 737 accessions of barnyard grasses and millets from 16 rice-producing countries. Phylogenomic and comparative genomic analyses reveal the complex and reticulate evolution in the speciation of Echinochloa polyploids and provide evidence of constrained disease-related gene copy numbers in Echinochloa. A population-level investigation uncovers deep population differentiation for local adaptation, multiple target-site herbicide resistance mutations of barnyard grasses, and limited domestication of barnyard millets. Our results provide genomic insights into the dual roles of Echinochloa species as weeds and crops as well as essential resources for studying plant polyploidization, adaptation, precision weed control and millet improvements.

Abstract
Atrazine (ATZ) is an agricultural pesticide for controlling field weeds. ATZ accumulates in many crops, posing high risks to crop production and food safety. Characterizing one of the novel rice MT genes named Oryza sativa atrazine-responsive methyltransferase (OsARM) showed that the expression of OsARM was associated with DNA demethylation (hypomethylation) in its promoter region. The enhancement of OsARM expression was manifested by the attenuated symptoms of ATZ toxicity including better growth and lower ATZ accumulation in plants. The promoted capacity of detoxification was confirmed by transgenic rice overexpression OsARM lines and also functionally proved by CRISPR-Cas9 knockout mutants. The transgenic lines accumulate more ATZ metabolites in rice and lower concentrations in the growth environment, pointing out that ATZ metabolism or degradation can be intensified. The ATZ-induced DNA demethylation is an important hallmark representing the epigenetic mechanism, which is required for the extra OsARM expression to facilitate ATZ disappearance in rice and the environment.

Abstract
Herbicide resistance to chemical herbicide is a global issue that presents an ongoing threat to grain production. Though it has been frequently implicated that the production of detoxification enzymes increased in resistance development, the mechanisms for overexpression of these genes employed by herbicide-resistant weeds remain complicated. In this study, a mesosulfuron-methyl resistant Beckmannia syzigachne population (R) was found to be cross-resistant to another herbicide pyriminobac-methyl. No known target-site mutations were detected in the R population. In contrast, the decreased uptake and enhanced metabolic rates of mesosulfuron-methyl were detected in the R than the susceptible (S) population. Two candidate ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes (ABCB25 and ABCC14) that were constitutively up-regulated in the R population were identified by RNA-sequencing and validated by RT-qPCR. Alteration of antioxidant enzyme activities and gene expressions implied that mesosulfuron-methyl-induced antioxidant defenses provoked reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst. ROS scavenger assay showed that ROS induces ABCB25 and ABCC14 expression. This study reported for the first time that ABC transporters mediated non-target-site resistance contributes to mesosulfuron-methyl resistance in a B. syzigachne population, and implicated that ROS burst might be involved in the overexpression of ABC transporter genes in weeds.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a short-lived radical gas that acts as a signaling molecule in all higher organisms, and that is involved in multiple plant processes, including germination, root growth, and fertility. Regulation of NO-levels is predominantly achieved by reaction of oxidation products of NO with glutathione to form S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), the principal bioactive form of NO. The enzyme S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) is a major route of NADH-dependent GSNO catabolism and is critical to NO homeostasis. Here, we performed a proteomic analysis examining changes in the total leaf proteome of an Arabidopsis thaliana GSNOR null mutant (hot5-2/gsnor1-3). Significant increases or decreases in proteins associated with chlorophyll metabolism and with redox and stress metabolism provide insight into phenotypes observed in hot5-2/gsnor1-3 plants. Importantly, we identified a significant increase in proteins that belong to the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) protein superfamily, AKR4C8 and 9. Because specific AKRs have been linked to NO metabolism in mammals, we expressed and purified A. thaliana AKR4C8 and 9 and close homologs AKR4C10 and 11 and determined that they have NADPH-dependent activity in GSNO and S-nitroso-coenzyme A (SNO-CoA) reduction. Further, we found an increase of NADPH-dependent GSNO reduction activity in hot5-2/gsnor1-3 mutant plants. These data uncover a new, NADPH-dependent component of NO metabolism that may be integrated with NADH-dependent GSNOR activity to control NO homeostasis in plants.

Resistance to a nonselective 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase-inhibiting herbicide via novel reduction-dehydration-glutathione conjugation in Amaranthus tuberculatus.

Abstract
Metabolic resistance to 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD)-inhibiting herbicides is a threat in controlling waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus) in the USA. We investigated resistance mechanisms to syncarpic acid-3 (SA3), a nonselective, noncommercial HPPD-inhibiting herbicide metabolically robust to Phase I oxidation, in multiple-herbicide-resistant (MHR) waterhemp populations (SIR and NEB) and HPPD inhibitor-sensitive populations (ACR and SEN). Dose-response experiments with SA3 provided ED50 -based resistant : sensitive ratios of at least 18-fold. Metabolism experiments quantifying parent SA3 remaining in excised leaves during a time course indicated MHR populations displayed faster rates of SA3 metabolism compared to HPPD inhibitor-sensitive populations. SA3 metabolites were identified via LC-MS-based untargeted metabolomics in whole plants. A Phase I metabolite, likely generated by cytochrome P450-mediated alkyl hydroxylation, was detected but was not associated with resistance. A Phase I metabolite consistent with ketone reduction followed by water elimination was detected, creating a putative α,β-unsaturated carbonyl resembling a Michael acceptor site. A Phase II glutathione-SA3 conjugate was associated with resistance. Our results revealed a novel reduction-dehydration-GSH conjugation detoxification mechanism. SA3 metabolism in MHR waterhemp is thus atypical compared to commercial HPPD-inhibiting herbicides. This previously uncharacterized detoxification mechanism presents a unique opportunity for future biorational design by blocking known sites of herbicide metabolism in weeds.

Differential expression of genes associated with non-target site resistance in Poa annua with target site resistance to acetolactate synthase inhibitors. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2021; 77:4993-5000. [PMID: 34218510 PMCID: PMC8518846 DOI: 10.1002/ps.6541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Revised: 06/28/2021] [Accepted: 07/04/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Poa annua is a pervasive grassy, self-pollinating, weed that has evolved resistance to 10 different herbicide modes-of-action, third most of all weed species. We investigated constitutive overexpression of genes associated with non-target site resistance (NTSR) in POAAN-R3 and the response of those genes when treated with trifloxysulfuron despite the biotype having a known target site mutation in acetolactate synthase (ALS). RESULTS Despite having an ALS target site mutation, POAAN-R3 still had a transcriptomic response to herbicide application that differed from a susceptible biotype. We observed differential expression of genes associated with transmembrane transport and oxidation-reduction activities, with differences being most pronounced prior to herbicide treatment. CONCLUSIONS In the P. annua biotype we studied with confirmed target site resistance to ALS inhibitors, we also observed constitutive expression of genes regulating transmembrane transport, as well as differential expression of genes associated with oxidative stress after treatment with trifloxysulfuron. This accumulation of mechanisms, in addition to the manifestation of target site resistance, could potentially increase the chance of survival when plants are challenged by different modes of action.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2021; 77:4810-4817. [PMID: 34161662 DOI: 10.1002/ps.6527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2021] [Revised: 06/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Glyphosate has been used for weed control in South China in various situations for four decades, and most Eleusine indica populations are suspected to have evolved resistance to glyphosate. This research investigated underling target-site glyphosate resistance mechanisms in six field-collected, putative glyphosate-resistant (R) E. indica populations. RESULTS The six R E. indica populations were confirmed to be low (1.8 to 2.6-fold) to moderately (5.6- to 8.4-fold) resistant to glyphosate relative to the susceptible (S) population. Sixty-seven glyphosate-surviving plants from the six R populations were used to examine target-site resistance mechanisms. Target-site 5-enolpyruvylshikimate3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) overexpression (OE) (plus further induction by glyphosate treatment) and gene copy number variation (CNV) occurred in 94% R plants, and among them, 16% had the P106A mutation and 49% had the heterozygous double TIPS (T102I + P106S) mutation (plus P381L). In addition, a low number of R plants (6%) only had the homologous TIPS (plus P381L) mutation. The (CT)6 insertion mutation in the EPSPS 5†-UTR always associates with EPSPS OE and CNV. Progeny plants possessing EPSPS OE/CNV (and P106A) displayed low level (up to 4.5-fold) glyphosate resistance. In contrast, plants homozygous for the TIPS mutation displayed higher (25-fold) resistance to glyphosate and followed by plants heterozygous for this mutation plus EPSPS OE/CNV (12-fold). CONCLUSIONS Target-site glyphosate resistance in E. indica populations from South China is common with prevalence of EPSPS OE/induction/CNV conferring low level resistance. Individual plants acquiring both the TIPS mutation and EPSPS OE/CNV are favored due to evolutionary advantages. The role of (CT)6 insertion mutation in EPSPS CNV is worth further investigation. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.
