Abstract
BACKGROUND Knowledge of herbicidal targets is critical for weed management and food safety. The phytotoxin isovaleric acid (ISA) is effective against weeds with a broad spectrum, carries low environmental risks, and is thus an excellent herbicide lead. However, the biochemical and molecular mechanisms underlying the action of ISA remain unclear. RESULTS Multi-omics data showed that acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) was the key affected metabolite, and that citrate synthase (CS) 4 was substantially down-regulated under ISA treatment in Echinochloa crus-galli leaves. In particular, the transcript level of EcCS4 was the most significantly regulated among the six genes involved in the top 10 different pathways. The EcCS4 encodes a protein of 472 amino acids and is localized to the cell membrane and mitochondria, similar to the CS4s of other plants. The protein content of EcCS4 was down-regulated after ISA treatment at 0.5 h. ISA markedly inhibited the CS4 activity in vitro in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 = 41.35 μM). In addition, the transgenic rice plants overexpressing EcCS4 (IC50 = 111.8 mM for OECS4-8 line) were more sensitive, whereas loss-of-function rice mutant lines (IC50 = 746.5 mM for oscs4-19) were more resistant to ISA, compared to wild type (WT) plants (IC50 = 355.6 mM). CONCLUSION CS4 was first reported as a negative regulator of plant responses to ISA. These results highlight that CS4 is a candidate target gene for the development of novel herbicides and for breeding herbicide-resistant crops. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, suspected cyhalofop-butyl-resistant populations of allohexaploid weed Echinochloa crus-galli var. crus-galli were discovered in rice fields in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Analyzing the target-site ACCase genes of cyhalofop-butyl helps understand the resistance mechanism. However, in E. crus-galli, the presence of multiple ACCase genes and the lack of detailed gene investigations have complicated the analysis of target-site genes. Therefore, in this study, we characterized the herbicide response of E. crus-galli lines and thoroughly characterized the ACCase genes, including the evaluation of gene mutations in the ACCase genes of each line. RESULT Four suspected resistant lines collected from Aichi Prefecture showed varying degrees of resistance to cyhalofop-butyl and other FOP-class ACCase inhibitors but were sensitive to herbicides with other modes of action. Through genomic analysis, six ACCase loci were identified in the E. crus-galli genome. We renamed each gene based on its syntenic relationship with other ACCase genes in the Poaceae species. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that all ACCase genes, except the pseudogenized copy ACCase2A, were transcribed at a similar level in the shoots of E. crus-galli. Mutations known to confer resistance to FOP-class herbicides, that is W1999C, W2027C/S and I2041N, were found in all resistant lines in either ACCase1A, ACCase1B or ACCase2C. CONCLUSION In this study, we found that the E. crus-galli lines were resistant exclusively to ACCase-inhibiting herbicides, with a target-site resistance mutation in the ACCase gene. Characterization of ACCase loci in E. crus-galli provides a basis for further research on ACCase herbicide resistance in Echinochloa spp. © 2023 The Authors.

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 Echinochloa crus-galli var. zelayensis is a troublesome weed in rice fields and can be controlled by using quinclorac. However, over-reliance on quinclorac has resulted in resistant (R) barnyardgrass, which differs significantly in its ability to transport quinclorac compared to susceptible (S) barnyardgrass. This study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanisms for this different translocation between R and S barnyardgrass. RESULTS Larger amount of quinclorac was transferred from shoots to roots in R compared to S barnyardgrass. After 1 day of quinclorac [300 g active ingredient (a.i.) ha-1 ] foliar treatment, its content in shoots of R was 81.92% of that in S barnyardgrass; correspondingly, in roots of R was 1.17 fold of that in S barnyardgrass. RNA-sequencing and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) confirmed the expression levels of PIPs belonging to aquaporins (AQPs) in R were higher than in S barnyardgrass, with or without quinclorac treatment. With co-application of quinclorac and AQPs inhibitors [mercury(II) chloride (HgCl2 )] treatment, even though the expression levels of PIPs and the transport rates of quinclorac were both suppressed in R and S barnyardgrass, this process was less pronounced in R than in S barnyardgrass. CONCLUSION This report provides clear evidence that higher PIPs expression results in rapid quinclorac translocation from shoots to roots and reduces the quinclorac accumulation in the shoot meristems in R barnyardgrass, thus reducing the control efficacy of quinclorac. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Echinochloa crus-galli var. crus-galli, E. crus-galli var. zelayensis, and E. glabrescens, morphologically similar at the seedling stage, are the most pernicious barnyard grass species in paddy fields worldwide. Chloroplast (cp) genomes could be conducive to their identification. In this study, we assembled the complete cp genome sequences of Echinochloa crus-galli var. crus-galli (139,856 bp), E. crus-galli var. zelayensis (139,874 bp), and E. glabrescens (139,874 bp), which exhibited a typical circular tetramerous structure, large and small single-copy regions, and a pair of inverted repeats. In Echinochloa crus-galli var. crus-galli, there were 136 simple sequence (SSRs) and 62 long (LRs) repeats, and in the other two species, 139 SSRs and 68 LRs. Each cp genome contains 92 protein-encoding genes. In Echinochloa crus-galli var. crus-galli and E. glabrescens, 321 and 1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms were detected compared to Echinochloa crus-galli var. zelayensis. IR expansion and contraction revealed small differences between the three species. The phylogenetic tree based on cp genomes demonstrated the phylogenetic relationship between ten barnyard grass species and other common Gramineae plants, showing new genetic relationships of the genus Echinochloa. This study provides valuable information on cp genomes, useful for identifying and classifying the genus Echinochloa and studying its phylogenetic relationships and evolution.

Abstract
The resistance of weeds to herbicides poses a major threat to agricultural production, and non-target-site resistance (NTSR) is often a serious problem as its mechanisms can in some cases confer resistance to herbicides with different modes of action. In this study, we hypothesized that bZIP transcription factors (TFs), which regulate abiotic stress responses in many plants, play a regulatory role in NTSR. Whole-plant assays indicated that the wild grasses Echinochloa crus-galli and E. glabrescens are resistant to the herbicides penoxsulam, cyhalofop-butyl, and quintrione. Transcriptome sequencing then identified 101 and 49 bZIP TFs with differential expression following penoxsulam treatment in E. crus-galli and E. glabrescens, respectively. Twelve of these genes had >60% homology with rice genes. The expression of bZIP88 was considerably up-regulated 6 h after treatment with the three different herbicides, and it was similar between resistant and susceptible populations; however, the relative expression levels before herbicide treatment and 24 h after were the same. We used rice (Oryza sativa ssp. japonica cv Nipponbare) as a model system for functional validation and found that CRISPR-Cas9-knockout of the rice bZIP88 ortholog increased the sensitivity to herbicide, whereas overexpression reduced it. The OsbZIP88 protein was localized to the nucleus. Using ChIP coupled with high-throughput sequencing, OsbZIP88 was found to form a network regulatory center with other TFs such as bZIP20/52/59 to regulate OsKS1, OsCOE1, and OsIM1, which are related to auxin, abscisic acid, brassinosteroids, and gibberellic acid. Based on these results, we have established a database of bZIP TFs corresponding to herbicide stress, and resolved the mechanisms of the positive regulation of herbicide resistance by bZIP88, thereby providing new insights for NTSR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CYP81A cytochrome P450s (CYP81As) play a key role in herbicide detoxification in Poaceae plants. Crop CYP81As confer natural tolerance to multiple herbicides, whereas CYP81As in weeds disrupt herbicide action. Identifying differences in CYP81A herbicide specificity between crops and weeds could provide valuable information for controlling weeds. In this study, we quantitatively compared herbicide specificity between CYP81A6 from rice (Oryza sativa) and CYP81A12 and CYP81A21 from a weed, Echinochloa phyllopogon, using transgenic Escherichia coli and Arabidopsis. RESULTS All three CYP81As metabolized the five tested herbicides and formed similar metabolites, with the highest relative activities of 400 to 580% toward bentazone compared to their activity on bensulfuron-methyl (defined as 100%). However, they showed differing activity toward propyrisulfuron. The relative activities of Echinochloa phyllopogon CYP81A12 (12.2%) and CYP81A21 (34.4%) toward propyrisulfuron were lower than that of rice CYP81A6 (98.5%). Additionally, rice CYP81A6 produced O-demethylated propyrisulfuron and hydroxylated products, whereas Echinochloa phyllopogon CYP81As produced only hydroxylated products. Arabidopsis expressing CYP81A12 and CYP81A21 exhibited lower levels of resistance against propyrisulfuron compared to that in Arabidopsis expressing CYP81A6. Homology modeling and in silico docking revealed that bensulfuron-methyl docked well into the active centers of all three CYP81As, whereas propyrisulfuron docked into rice CYP81A6 but not into Echinochloa phyllopogon CYP81As. CONCLUSION The differing herbicide specificity displayed by rice CYP81A6 and Echinochloa phyllopogon CYP81A12 and CYP81A21 will help design inhibitors (synergists) of weed CYP81As, as well as develop novel herbicide ingredients that are selectively metabolized by crop CYP81As, to overcome the problem of herbicide resistance. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Momilactone A, an important plant labdane-related diterpenoid, functions as a phytoalexin against pathogens and an allelochemical against neighboring plants. The genes involved in the biosynthesis of momilactone A are found in clusters, i.e., momilactone A biosynthetic gene clusters (MABGCs), in the rice and barnyardgrass genomes. In addition, we know little about the origin and evolution of MABGCs. Here, we integrated results from comprehensive phylogeny and comparative genomic analyses of the core genes of MABGC-like clusters and MABGCs in 40 monocot plant genomes, providing convincing evidence for the birth and evolution of MABGCs in grass species. The MABGCs found in the PACMAD clade of the core grass lineage (including Panicoideae and Chloridoideae) originated from a MABGC-like cluster in Triticeae (BOP clade) via lateral gene transfer (LGT) and followed by recruitment of MAS1/2 and CYP76L1 genes. The MABGCs in Oryzoideae originated from PACMAD through another LGT event and lost CYP76L1 afterwards. The Oryza MABGC and another Oryza diterpenoid cluster c2BGC are two distinct clusters, with the latter originating from gene duplication and relocation within Oryzoideae. Further comparison of the expression patterns of the MABGC genes between rice and barnyardgrass in response to pathogen infection and allelopathy provides novel insights into the functional innovation of MABGCs in plants. Our results demonstrate LGT-mediated origination of MABGCs in grass and shed lights into the evolutionary innovation and optimization of plant biosynthetic pathways.

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
BACKGROUND Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv) has evolved resistance to the acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor penoxsulam which is used to control weeds in rice fields in China. The present study is conducted to identify the target-site resistance (TSR) mechanisms conferring resistance in a penoxsulam-resistant population. RESULTS The ALS sensitivity in vitro of the resistant population was sixfold lower to penoxsulam than that of the sensitive population. ALS sequencing revealed that no known mutation conferring ALS herbicide resistance was detected. However, a novel mutation Phe-206-Leu was identified in the ALS gene. Additionally, ALS gene expression level of the resistant population was lower than that of the sensitive population. Therefore, the penoxsulam resistance was not due to the overexpression of ALS gene. Molecular docking revealed that this mutation may change the interaction of the penoxsulam-ALS binding and weaken its mutual affinity by approximately 10%. Arabidopsis thaliana transformed with mutant ALS had fourfold greater resistance to penoxsulam and varied cross-resistance to other ALS herbicides than those transformed with sensitive ALS. Mutant and sensitive ALS proteins expressed by the baculovirus system exhibited different in vitro penoxsulam sensitivity levels. Mutant ALS had eightfold lower sensitivity to penoxsulam than sensitive ALS. CONCLUSION This report provides clear evidence that the ALS mutation at position 206 (Phe-206-Leu) confers penoxsulam resistance in barnyardgrass. Phe-206 was confirmed to be the ninth amino acid residue related to ALS herbicide resistance in weeds. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

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.

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
Dose-response experiments were conducted to assess the sensitivity of one susceptible and three putative resistant (R1, R2, and R3) barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv.] biotypes to florpyrauxifen-benzyl and cyhalofop-butyl alone and as a formulated premix. Subsequently, potential resistance mechanisms of the barnyardgrass were evaluated. Based on biomass reduction results, resistant/susceptible ratios were calculated for R1 (7.0-50), R2 (7.0-150), and R3 (18-214) biotypes. Absorption and translocation of [14C]-florpyrauxifen-benzyl decreased in R1 and R3 biotypes, but not for [14C]-cyhalofop-butyl. The metabolism of [14C]-florpyrauxifen-benzyl to [14C]-florpyrauxifen-acid was >2-fold less in resistant biotypes (9-11%) than in the susceptible biotype (23%). Moreover, the production of [14C]-florpyrauxifen-acid in susceptible barnyardgrass (not in the R biotypes) increased 3-fold when florpyrauxifen-benzyl and cyhalofop-butyl were applied in mixture compared to florpyrauxifen-benzyl applied alone. The tested barnyardgrass biotypes had no mutation in the Transport Inhibitor Response1, auxin-signaling F-box, and acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase genes. Although further studies on cyhalofop-butyl resistance with respect to analysis of specific metabolites are needed, our findings in this study demonstrates that the evolution of florpyrauxifen-benzyl resistance in multiple resistant barnyardgrass can be related to non-target-site resistance mechanisms reducing absorption and translocation of the herbicide and causing reduced conversion or rapid degradation of florpyrauxifen-acid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Florpyrauxifen-benzyl (FPB) is an arylpicolinate herbicide (Group IV) for barnyardgrass control in rice. One susceptible (Sus) and three putative FPB-resistant (R1, R2, and R3) barnyardgrass biotypes were selected based on resistant/susceptible (R/S) ratios obtained from dose-response tests and used to investigate the potential resistance mechanisms. RESULTS Based on visual control results, the R/S ratios of barnyardgrass biotypes R1, R2, and R3 were 60-, 33-, and 16-fold greater than the Sus standard, respectively. Sequencing results of TIR1 and AFB genes in the tested barnyardgrass revealed no difference between Sus and R barnyardgrass biotypes. Absorption of [14 C]-FPB in Sus barnyardgrass increased over time and reached 90%, which was >10 percentage points greater than that in R biotypes. The [14 C]-FPB absorption in all R barnyardgrass equilibrated after 48 h. For both Sus and R barnyardgrass, most [14 C]-FPB absorbed was present in the treated leaf (79.8-88.8%), followed by untreated aboveground (9.5-18.6%) and belowground tissues (1.3-2.2%). No differences in translocation were observed. Differences between Sus and R barnyardgrass biotypes were found for FPB metabolism. Production of the active metabolite, florpyrauxifen-acid, was greater in Sus barnyardgrass (21.5-52.1%) than in R barnyardgrass (5.5-34.9%). CONCLUSION In conclusion, reductions in FPB absorption and florpyrauxifen-acid production may contribute to the inability to control barnyardgrass with FPB. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Safeners are chemical compounds used to improve selectivity and safety of herbicides in crops by activating genes that enhance herbicide metabolic detoxification. The genes activated by safeners in crops are similar to the genes causing herbicide resistance through increased metabolism in weeds. This work investigated the effect of the safener isoxadifen-ethyl (IS) in combination with fenoxaprop-p-ethyl (FE) on the evolution of herbicide resistance in Echinochloa crus-galli under recurrent selection. Reduced susceptibility was observed in the progeny after recurrent selection with both FE alone and with FE + IS for two generations (G2) compared to the parental population (G0). The resistance index found in G2 after FE + IS selection was similar as when FE was used alone, demonstrating that the safener did not increase the rate or magnitude of herbicide resistance evolution. G2 progeny selected with FE alone and the combination of FE + IS had increased survival to herbicides from other mechanisms of action relative to the parental G0 population. One biotype of G2 progeny had increased constitutive expression of glutathione-S-transferase (GST1) after recurrent selection with FE + IS. G2 progeny had increased expression of two P450 genes (CYP71AK2 and CYP72A122) following treatment with FE, while G2 progeny had increased expression of five P450 genes (CYP71AK2, CYP72A258, CYP81A12, CYP81A14 and CYP81A21) after treatment with FE + IS. Repeated selection with low doses of FE with or without the safener IS decreased E. crus-galli control and showed potential for cross-resistance evolution. Addition of safener did not further decrease herbicide sensitivity in second generation progeny; however, the recurrent use of safener in combination with FE resulted in safener-induced increased expression of several CYP genes. This is the first report using safener as an additional factor to study herbicide resistance evolution in weeds under experimental recurrent selection.

Abstract
Herbicide resistance is frequently reported in E. crus-galli globally with target and non-target site resistance mechanism to acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides. However, resistance to certain herbicides can result in increased sensitivity to other herbicides, a phenomenon called negative cross-resistance. The objective of this study is to identify the occurrence of negative cross-resistance (NCR) to the pro-herbicide clomazone in populations of E. crus-galli resistant to ALS inhibitors due to increased metabolization. Clomazone dose-response curves, with and without malathion, were performed in imazethapyr-resistant and -susceptible E. crus-galli biotypes. CYPs genes expression and antioxidant enzymes activity were also evaluated. The effective dose to reduce 50% (ED50) of dry shoot weight obtained in the clomazone dose-response curves of the metabolic based imazethapyr-resistant and -susceptible biotypes groups were 22.712 and 58.745 g ha-1, respectively, resulting in a resistance factor (RF) of 0.37, indicating the occurrence of NCR. The application of malathion prior to clomazone increased the resistance factor from 0.60 to 1.05, which indicate the reversion of the NCR. Some CYP genes evaluated were expressed in a higher level, ranging from 2.6-9.1 times according to the biotype and the gene, in the imazethapyr-resistant than in -susceptible biotypes following clomazone application. Antioxidant enzyme activity was not associated with NCR. This study is the first report of NCR directly related to the mechanism of resistance increased metabolization in plants. The occurrence of NCR to clomazone in E. crus-galli can help delay the evolution of herbicide resistance.

Abstract
Understanding the fate of heterogenous herbicide resistant weed populations in response to management practices can help towards overcoming the resistance issues. We selected one pair of susceptible (S) and resistant (R) phenotypes (2B21-R vs 2B21-S and 2B37-R vs 2B37-S) separately from two glyphosate resistant heterogeneous populations (2B21 and 2B37) of Echinochloa colona and their fate and adaptive plasticity were evaluated after glyphosate application. Our study revealed the glyphosate concentration required to cause a 50% plant mortality (LD50) was 1187, 200, 3064, and 192 g a. e. ha-1 for the four phenotypes 2B21-R, 2B21-S, 2B37-R, and 2B37-S respectively. Both S phenotypes accumulated more biomass than the R phenotypes at the lower application rates (34 and 67.5 g a. e. ha-1) of glyphosate. However, the R phenotypes generally produced more biomass at rates of glyphosate higher than 100 g a. e. ha-1 throughout the growth period. Plants from the R phenotypes of 2B21 and 2B37 generated 32% and 38% fewer spikesplant-1 than their respective S counterparts in the absence of glyphosate respectively. The spike and seed numbersplant-1 significantly higher in R than S phenotypes at increased rates of glyphosate and these relationships were significant. Our research suggests that glyphosate-resistant E. colona plants will be less fit than susceptible plants (from the same population) in the absence of glyphosate. But in the presence of glyphosate, the R plants may eventually dominate in the field. The use of glyphosate is widespread in field, would favour the selection towards resistant individuals.

Abstract
Fenclorim (Fen) is a safener developed for pretilachlor (Pre) that can protect rice from injury caused by Pre but does not lower the weed control effects of Pre. Unfortunately, the mechanism of selective action of Fen between rice and weeds, such as Echinochloa crusgalli (barnyard grass), has not been clarified. In this study, the differences in physiology, biochemistry, and gene transcription between rice and E. crusgalli response to Fen were compared. Comparing the protection effects of Fen on plant growth, it was found that Fen significantly protected rice from Pre, but did not protect E. crusgalli. The detection of malondialdehyde (MDA) content and activities of antioxidant enzymes showed that Pre induced significant oxidative damage both in rice and E. crusgalli; however, Fen reduced oxidative damage in rice but not in E. crusgalli. Transcriptome analysis revealed that Fen induced more genes related to herbicide metabolism in rice than in E. crusgalli, especially the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) genes, with six upregulated in rice but no genes upregulated in E. crusgalli. Accordingly, the GST activity analysis showed that Fen increased the activity of rice instead of E. crusgalli. These results indicate that the elevation of detoxifying enzyme activities and antioxidative defense may be the mechanism of selective action of Fen in rice but not in E. crusgalli.

Abstract
Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in world agriculture and for general vegetation control in a wide range of situations. Global and often intensive glyphosate selection of very large weedy plant populations has resulted in widespread glyphosate resistance evolution in populations of many weed species. Here, working with a glyphosate-resistant (GR) Echinochloa colona population that evolved in a Western Australia agricultural field, we identified an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter (EcABCC8) that is consistently up-regulated in GR plants. When expressed in transgenic rice, this EcABCC8 transporter endowed glyphosate resistance. Equally, rice, maize, and soybean overexpressing the EcABCC8 ortholog genes were made resistant to glyphosate. Conversely, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of the EcABCC8 ortholog gene OsABCC8 increased rice susceptibility to glyphosate. Subcellular localization analysis and quantification of glyphosate cellular levels in treated ABCC8 transgenic rice plants and isolated leaf protoplasts as well as structural modeling support that EcABCC8 is likely a plasma membrane-localized transporter extruding cytoplasmic glyphosate to the apoplast, lowering the cellular glyphosate level. This is a report of a membrane transporter effluxing glyphosate in a GR plant species, and its function is likely conserved in crop plant species.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa spp.) is a global weed in rice fields. Quinclorac is commonly used to control barnyardgrass. However, due to persistent use, quinclorac resistance has evolved. We obtained quinclorac-susceptible (QS) and -resistant (QR1, QR2) lines from the progeny of a single resistant E. crus-pavonis for a resistance mechanism study. RESULTS Line QR1 exhibited resistance to high quinclorac rates (up to 6400 g ha-1 ), whereas line QR2 exhibited a resistance/susceptibility segregation ratio of 3:1 at the field or lower rates (400, 100 g ha-1 ). Intriguingly, a lower level of 14 C-quinclorac metabolism and hence a higher level of 14 C-quinclorac translocation was observed in QR1 than QS plants. The basal expression levels of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase (ACS) and ACC oxidase 2 (ACO2) genes did not differ significantly between the QR1 and QS lines. However, more expression of ACS and ACO genes was induced by quinclorac treatment in QS than in QR1. Basal levels of β-cyanoalanine synthase (β-CAS) gene expression were similar in QS and QR1 plants, but a greater level of down-regulation was detected in QS than in QR1 plants after quinclorac treatment. CONCLUSION These results indicate QR plants are less responsive to quinclorac than QS plants in terms of up-regulating quinclorac metabolism and ethylene synthesis. Resistance in this E. crus-pavonis line is likely controlled by a single major gene, involving possibly an alteration in auxin signal perception/transduction to the ethylene biosynthesis pathway. The β-CAS is unlikely to play a major role in quinclorac resistance in this particular population.

Abstract
This work reports halogenated 5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyrazoles as pseudilin analogues with the potential to target the enzyme IspD in the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway. Such analogues were designed using the bioisosteric replacement of the pseudilin core structure and synthesized via an efficient three-step route. With AtIspD-based screening and pre- and post-emergence herbicidal tests, these compounds were demonstrated to have considerable activities against AtIspD, with IC50 up to 3.27 μM, and against model plants rape and barnyard grass, with moderate to excellent activities. At a rate of 150 g/ha in the greenhouse test, three compounds exhibited higher or comparable herbicidal activities than pseudilin. Molecular docking of representative compounds into the allosteric site of AtIspD revealed a binding mode similar to that of pseudilin. The established bioisosterism and synthesis method in this work may serve as an important tool for the development of new herbicides and antimicrobials targeting IspD in the MEP pathway.

Abstract
Neighbor detection and allelochemical response are important mediators in plant-plant interactions. Although there is increasing knowledge about plant allelochemicals released in response to the presence of competitors and involved in neighbor-derived signaling, less is known about which signaling chemicals are responsible for the neighbor-induced allelochemical response. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that (-)-loliolide, a carotenoid metabolite, acts as a signaling chemical in barnyardgrass-rice allelopathic interactions. The production of the rice allelochemicals momilactone B and tricin was increased in the presence of five biotypes of barnyardgrass. (-)-Loliolide was found in all the biotypes of barnyardgrass and their root exudates and rhizosphere soils. There were significant positive relationships between rice allelochemicals and (-)-loliolide concentrations across the biotypes of barnyardgrass. Furthermore, (-)-loliolide elicited the production of momilactone B and tricin. Comparative transcriptomic analysis revealed regulatory activity of (-)-loliolide on the diterpenoid and flavonoid biosynthesis pathway. The expression of key genes involved in the biosynthesis of momilactone B (CPS4, KSL4, and MAS) and tricin (CYP75B3 and CYP75B4) was up-regulated by (-)-loliolide. These findings suggest that (-)-loliolide acts as a signaling chemical and participates in barnyardgrass-rice allelopathic interactions. Allelopathic rice plants can detect competing barnyardgrass through the presence of this signaling chemical and respond by increasing levels of their allelochemicals to achieve an advantage for their own growth.

Abstract
Expression of genes involved in diterpene biosynthesis, especially momilactone and gibberellins (GAs), in rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) in response to barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) stress was examined. The three analyzed class II diterpene synthases had the highest fold change expression. Transcription patterns of genes for two homologs of momilactone synthases, OsMAS and OsMAS2, suggests their distinct roles in response to the presence of barnyard grass.

Abstract
Napropamide is a chiral acetamide herbicide commonly applied to control Echinochloa crus-galli in maize. The inhibition effect may be enantioselective for Echinochloa crus-galli and maize. It may also be affected by the potential allelopathy at field condition. To investigate this, we have examined the inhibition effect of napropamide on Echinochloa crus-galli mono-cultured or co-cultured with maize at field conditions. Our results on morphology, physiology, chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence suggest that R-napropamide has stronger inhibitory effect than Rac-napropamide and S-napropamide on Echinochloa crus-galli, while none of them affects maize. We found that both glutathione-S-transferase (GST) genes and oxidative enzymes (superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde) played roles in the inhibition. Accumulations of napropamide in Echinochloa crus-galli were more prominent in roots than in shoots, and no enantioselectivity was found in medium dissipation. We have observed relative allelopathy when applying napropamide to Echinochloa crus-galli co-cultured with maize. The results warrant further field studies on the enantioselectivity and allelopathy of herbicides.

Abstract
Herbicide resistance identification is essential for effective chemical weed control. In this study, we quantified the differences in growth response between penoxsulam resistant (R) and sensitive (S) Echinochloa crus-galli populations, explored the changes in ALS, and performed genetic analyses to identify metabolic genes that are up-regulated by the application of penoxsulam and other common herbicides. The R population showed a 26.0-fold higher resistance to penoxsulam and varied resistance to most tested herbicides with indices ranging from 4.9 to 145.9. A Trp-574-Arg amino acid mutation in ALS and low penoxsulam ALS sensitivity were the main mechanisms underlying herbicide resistance. The penoxsulam resistance can be significantly reversed by two P450s inhibitors and one GST inhibitor. By RNA-Seq, thirty-six highly expressed contigs were selected, and 30 of them were up-regulated in the R population treated by penoxsulam. Many of these genes were significantly expressed when treated with pyroxsulam, metamifop, and quinclorac. These upregulated genes appear to be complementary for plant resistance to penoxsulam and other common herbicides.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450s (P450s) confer resistance against herbicides, and this is increasingly becoming a concern for weed control. As a widespread Gramineae weed in paddy fields, Echinocloa glabrescens has become resistant to the acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting triazolopyrimidine herbicide penoxsulam. In this study, we found that the GR50 of the resistant population (SHQP-R) decreased substantially from 25.6 to 5.0 and 6.2 g a.i. ha-1 after treatment with the P450 inhibitors piperonyl butoxide (PBO) and malathion, respectively. However, P450 inhibitors almost had no effects on the susceptibility of the sensitive population (JYJD-S) to penoxsulam. To investigate the mechanisms of metabolic resistance, transcriptome sequencing analysis was performed to find candidate genes that may confer resistance to penoxsulam in E. glabrescens. A total of 233 P450 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by transcriptome sequencing. We found that the metabolic process and metabolic pathways were the most highly enriched in DEGs. Further, twenty-seven candidate P450 DEGs were selected for qPCR validation analyses. After penoxsulam treatment, the relative expression levels were significantly higher in SHQP-R than in JYJD-S. Among these, the relative expression of twenty-three P450 DEGs (eighteen from the CYP72A-71C-74A-96A-734A subfamily; five from CYP81E1-94C1-94B3-714C1-714C2) were upregulated and four P450 DEGs (from CYP724B1-711A1-707A7-97B2) were downregulated. Changes in the expression of these candidate P450 genes in E. glabrescens were in response to penoxsulam, which provides preliminary evidence for the role of P450s in herbicide metabolism in E. glabrescens. However, further functional studies on metabolic resistance to penoxsulam in a resistant E. glabrescens population are required.

Abstract
Echinochloa crus-galli is one of the most noxious weeds in the world and causes yield losses in a variety of different field crops. Napropamide and acetochlor are herbicides commonly employed to control this weed. Both compounds are chiral, with enantiomers displaying different activities. However, it is unclear how the enantiomers of these two chiral herbicides act on different tissues of E. crus-galli. The objective of this paper is to investigate the action mechanism of napropamide and acetochlor in the roots and shoots of E. crus-galli. R‑enantiomers were found to be more active than either the racemates or S-enantiomers on the weed. The content of chlorophyll was not significantly affected by treatment with either enantiomer. The impacts on the activity for the oxidative stress enzymes, except catalase (CAT), showed that both napropamide and acetochlor enantiomers could induce oxidative stress. Furthermore, R‑enantiomers caused greater oxidative damage. Enhanced glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity and expression of GST genes suggested both EcGSTF1 and EcGSTZ1 were present in the roots and shoots, and this will be helpful for detoxification. The changes in both the roots and shoots revealed the two herbicides displayed tissue selectivity in E. crus-galli. These results enable a better understanding on the mechanism of action for napropamide and acetochlor enantiomers on different tissues, including the shoots and roots in E. crus-galli.

Abstract
Californian populations of Echinochloa phyllopogon have evolved multiple-herbicide resistance (MHR), posing a threat to rice production in California. Previously, we identified two CYP81A cytochrome P450 genes whose overexpression is associated with resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors from two chemical groups. Resistance mechanisms to other herbicides remain unknown. We analyzed the sensitivity of an MHR line to acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors from three chemical groups, followed by an analysis of herbicide metabolism and segregation of resistance of the progenies in sensitive (S) and MHR lines. ACCase herbicide metabolizing function was investigated in the two previously identified P450s. MHR plants exhibited resistance to all the ACCase inhibitors by enhanced herbicide metabolism. Resistance to the ACCase inhibitors segregated in a 3 : 1 ratio in the F2 generation and completely co-segregated with ALS inhibitor resistance in F6 lines. Expression of the respective P450 genes conferred resistance to the three herbicides in rice, which is in line with the detection of hydroxylated herbicide metabolites in vivo in transformed yeast. CYP81As are super P450s that metabolize multiple herbicides from five chemical classes, and concurrent overexpression of the P450s induces metabolism-based resistance to the three ACCase inhibitors in MHR E. phyllopogon, as it does to ALS inhibitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In California specialty cropping systems such as vineyards and orchards, Echinochloa colona is present as a summer annual weed. It is able to germinate throughout the growing season whenever favorable conditions are present, and management relies heavily on glyphosate applications. Glyphosate-resistant (GR) E. colona biotypes are present in the state, but the levels of resistance observed suggest that there may be differences in mechanisms of resistance among populations. RESULTS Echinochloa colona lines collected from different regions of California's Central Valley presented resistance levels ranging from 1.4 to 4.3-fold compared to susceptible lines. No differences in the absorption and translocation of [14 C]-glyphosate were observed among lines. Resistant lines accumulated eight-fold less shikimic acid after treatment with 435 and 870 g a.e. ha-1 glyphosate compared to the most susceptible line. Sequencing of a region of the EPSPS gene revealed three single nucleotide changes leading to amino acid substitutions at Proline 106, including Pro106Leu, Pro106Thr and Pro106Ser. CONCLUSION These results indicate that an altered target site in EPSPS is contributing to resistance in these lines and resistance has evolved independently, multiple times in the Central Valley of California. Additional research is needed to further understand the genomic contributions of resistance loci in this polyploid weed species. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
We previously reported that the mechanism of quinclorac resistance in Echinochloa crus-galli var. zelayensis may be closely related to ethylene biosynthesis and the detoxification of cyanide. Differences in EcCAS gene sequences and expression levels may result in higher capacity to detoxify cyanide in resistant biotypes, which may avoid cyanide accumulation and avoid more ethylene and cyanide production and then avoid damage. In the present study, we focused on the mechanism of resistance related to ethylene biosynthesis in E. crus-galli var. zelayensis. The fresh weight of susceptible and moderately resistant biotypes were significantly reduced after treatment with quinclorac. However, AOA, an ethylene biosynthesis inhibitor, reduced the impact of quinclorac. On pretreatment with AOA, ethylene production was significantly reduced in the three biotypes. The highly resistant biotype produced less ethylene compared to the other two biotypes. Three ACS and seven ACO genes, which are the key genes in ethylene biosynthesis, were obtained. The expression levels of EcACS-like, EcACS7, and EcACO1 varied in the three biotypes upon treatment with quinclorac, which could be manipulated by AOA. In summary, it is inferred that the expression of EcACS-like, EcACS7, and EcACO1 can be stimulated to varying extent after quinclorac treatment in three E. crus-galli var. zelayensis biotypes, which consequently results in varying levels of ethylene production. Lower expression of these three genes results in more resistance to quinclorac, which may also be related to quinclorac resistance in E. crus-galli var. zelayensis.

Abstract
Presented here is the first Echinochloa colona leaf transcriptome. Analysis of gene expression before and after herbicide treatment reveals that E. colona mounts a stress response upon exposure to herbicide. Herbicides are the most frequently used means of controlling weeds. For many herbicides, the target site is known; however, it is considerably less clear how plant gene expression changes in response to herbicide exposure. In this study, changes in gene expression in response to herbicide exposure in imazamox-sensitive (S) and- resistant (R) junglerice (Echinochloa colona L.) biotypes was examined. As no reference genome is available for this weed, a reference leaf transcriptome was generated. Messenger RNA was isolated from imazamox-treated- and untreated R and S plants and the resulting cDNA libraries were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq2000. The transcriptome was assembled, annotated, and differential gene expression analysis was performed to identify transcripts that were upregulated or downregulated in response to herbicide exposure for both biotypes. Differentially expressed transcripts included transcription factors, protein-modifying enzymes, and enzymes involved in metabolism and signaling. A literature search revealed that members of the families represented in this analysis were known to be involved in abiotic stress response in other plants, suggesting that imazamox exposure induced a stress response. A time course study examining a subset of transcripts showed that expression peaked within 4-12 h and then returned to untreated levels within 48 h of exposure. Testing of plants from two additional biotypes showed a similar change in gene expression 4 h after herbicide exposure compared to the resistant and sensitive biotypes. This study shows that within 48 h junglerice mounts a stress response to imazamox exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite increasing knowledge of allelopathic rice interference with barnyardgrass, relatively little is known about its action on herbicide-resistant barnyardgrass. The incidence of herbicide-resistant barnyardgrass is escalating in paddy fields. Knowledge of the interference of allelopathic rice with herbicide-resistant barnyardgrass and the potential mechanisms involved is warranted. RESULTS Penoxsulam-resistant and -susceptible barnyardgrass biotypes were identified and segregated from a putative penoxsulam-resistant population occurring in paddy fields in China. Allelopathic rice inhibited the growth of barnyardgrass roots more than shoots, regardless of biotype. In particular, there was a stronger inhibition for resistant barnyardgrass than for susceptible barnyardgrass. Allelopathic rice significantly reduced total root length, total root area, maximum root amplitude and maximum root depth in barnyardgrass. Furthermore, the rice allelochemicals tricin and momilactone B inhibited the growth of both resistant and susceptible barnyardgrass. Compared with root contact, root segregation significantly increased inhibition of barnyardgrass with an increase in rice allelochemicals. Root exudates from barnyardgrass induced the production of rice allelochemicals, but the effect of susceptible barnyardgrass was much stronger than that of resistant barnyardgrass. CONCLUSION Allelopathic rice can interfere with the growth of penoxsulam-resistant barnyardgrass through allelochemical-mediated root interactions. This type of allelopathic interference may provide a non-herbicidal alternative for herbicide-resistant weed management in paddy systems. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

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
Quinclorac, an auxin-type herbicide, is widely used to control barnyardgrass and some dicotyledon weeds. Echinochloa crus-galli var. zelayensis, a variety of E. crus-galli (L.) Beauv., is widespread in China and some populations have resistance to quinclorac. E. crus-galli var. zelayensis seeds with varying sensitivity to quinclorac were used in the present study. The expression of the ADP/ATP carrier protein (ANT) gene, which plays an important role in the maintenance of cellular energy balance, dramatically rose in the S biotype after exposure to quinclorac, while no change was found in two R biotypes. The activity of β-cyanoalanine synthase (β-CAS), which is the key enzyme for cyanide degradation, was higher in two R biotypes than in the S biotype before and after treatment with quinclorac. One single-nucleotide difference was detected in the EcCAS gene of two R biotypes compared with the S biotype. The nucleotide change, which caused one amino acid substitution, replacing Methionine (Met)-295 with Lysine (Lys)-295 in the two R biotypes, which are same as the rice β-CAS gene at this position. In addition, EcCAS gene expression was higher in the two R biotypes than in the S biotype. In conclusion, β-CAS may play a crucial role in the resistance of E. crus-galli var. zelayensis to quinclorac. EcCAS gene mutation and higher gene expression may enhance the activity of β-CAS to avoid the accumulation of toxic cyanide in resistant populations, thus contributing to the resistance mechanism of E. crus-galli var. zelayensis. to quinclorac.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Echinochloa colona is an important summer-growing weed species in cropping regions of northern Australia that has evolved resistance to glyphosate owing to intensive use of this herbicide in summer fallow. RESULTS Pot trials conducted at 20 and 30 °C on six E. colona populations showed a significant increase in the level of glyphosate resistance in resistant populations at 30 °C compared with 20 °C. However, there was no influence of growth temperature on glyphosate susceptibility of the sensitive population. Sequencing of the target-site gene (EPSPS) of the six populations identified a mutation at position 106 leading to a change from proline to serine in the most resistant population A533.1 only. EPSPS gene amplification was not detected in any of the resistant populations examined. Examining (14) C-glyphosate uptake on two resistant and one susceptible population showed a twofold increase at 20 °C; however, few differences in glyphosate translocation occurred from the treated leaf to other plant parts between populations or temperatures. CONCLUSION There is reduced efficacy of glyphosate at high temperatures on resistant E. colona populations, making these populations harder to control in summer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study confirms and characterises glyphosate resistance in two polyploid Echinochloa colona populations from north-eastern Australia. RESULTS Glyphosate dose response revealed that the two resistant populations were marginally (up to twofold) resistant to glyphosate. Resistant plants did not differ in non-target-site foliar uptake and translocation of (14) C-glyphosate, but contained the known target-site 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) mutation Pro-106-Thr and/or Pro-106-Leu. Although plants carrying either a single or two EPSPS mutations were glyphosate resistant relative to the susceptible population, they were still controlled at the field rate of glyphosate (450 g a.e. ha(-1) ) when treated under warm conditions (25/20 °C). However, when treated in hot conditions (35/30 °C), most mutant resistant plants (68%) can survive the field rate, and an increase (2.5-fold) in glyphosate LD50 was found for both the R and S populations. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that one or two EPSPS Pro-106 mutations are insufficient to confer field-rate glyphosate resistance in polyploidy E. colona at mild temperatures. However, control of these mutant plants at the glyphosate field rate is poor at high temperatures, probably owing to reduced glyphosate efficacy. Therefore, glyphosate should be applied during relatively mild (warm) temperature periods in the summer growing season to improve E. colona control.

Abstract
The C4 pathway is a highly complex trait that increases photosynthetic efficiency in more than 60 plant lineages. Although the majority of C4 plants occupy disturbed, arid, and nutrient-poor habitats, some grow in high-nutrient, waterlogged conditions. One such example is Echinochloa glabrescens, which is an aggressive weed of rice paddies. We generated comprehensive transcriptome datasets for C4 E. glabrescens and C3 rice to identify genes associated with adaption to waterlogged, nutrient-replete conditions, but also used the data to better understand how C4 photosynthesis operates in these conditions. Leaves of E. glabrescens exhibited classical Kranz anatomy with lightly lobed mesophyll cells having low chloroplast coverage. As with rice and other hygrophytic C3 species, leaves of E. glabrescens accumulated a chloroplastic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase protein, albeit at reduced amounts relative to rice. The arid-grown species Setaria italica (C4) and Brachypodium distachyon (C3) were also found to accumulate chloroplastic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase. We identified a molecular signature associated with C4 photosynthesis in nutrient-replete, waterlogged conditions that is highly similar to those previously reported from C4 plants that grow in more arid conditions. We also identified a cohort of genes that have been subjected to a selective sweep associated with growth in paddy conditions. Overall, this approach highlights the value of using wild species such as weeds to identify adaptions to specific conditions associated with high-yielding crops in agriculture.

Abstract
Rice allelopathy is a hot topic in the field of allelopathy, and behaviour of donor allelopathic rice has been well documented. However, few study addresses response of receiver barnyardgrass (BYG). We found that expression of miRNAs relevant to plant hormone signal transduction, nucleotide excision repair and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor and p53 signalling pathways was enhanced in BYG co-cultured with the allelopathic rice cultivar PI312777, the expression levels of these miRNAs in BYG plants were positively correlated with allelopathic potential of the co-cultured rice varieties. Treatment of BYG plants with rice-produced phenolic acids also increased miRNA expression in BYG, while treatment with rice-produced terpenoids had no obvious effect on miRNA expression. In the hydroponic system, the largest number of Myxococcus sp. was found in the growth medium containing rice with the highest allelopathic potential. The addition of phenolic acids in the hydroponic medium also increased the number of Myxococcus sp. More interestingly, inoculation with Myxococcus xanthus significantly increased miRNA expression in the treated BYG. Jointed treatments of ferulic acid and M. xanthus led to strongest growth inhibition of BYG. The results suggest that there exist involvement of Myxococcus sp. and mediation of miRNA expression in rice allelopathy against BYG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Echinochloa colona is an annual weed affecting field crops and orchards in California. An E. colona population carrying a mutation in the EPSPS gene endowing resistance to glyphosate, the most widely used non-selective herbicide, was recently identified in the Northern Sacramento Valley of California. Plants from this population, from a suspected glyphosate-resistant (GR) population, and from one susceptible (S) population collected in the Northern Sacramento Valley of California, were used to generate three GR and one S selfed lines to study possible mechanisms involved in glyphosate resistance. RESULTS Based on the amount of glyphosate required to kill 50% of the plants (LD50 ), GR lines were 4-9-fold more resistant than S plants and accumulated less shikimate after glyphosate treatment. GR and S lines did not differ in glyphosate absorption, translocation or metabolism. A different target-site mutation was found in each of two of the GR lines corresponding to Pro106Thr and Pro106Ser substitutions; the mutations were found in different homoeologous EPSPS genes. No mutation was found in the third GR line, which exhibited 1.4-fold higher basal EPSPS activity and a fivefold greater LD50 than S plants. Quantitative RT-PCR revealed that GR lines had similar or lower EPSPS expression than S plants. CONCLUSION It is demonstrated that individuals with different glyphosate resistance mechanisms can coexist in the same population, individuals from different populations may carry different resistance mechanisms and different mechanisms can act in concert within single E. colona plants. However, other plant factors or resistance mechanisms appear to modulate plant expression of EPSPS sensitivity to glyphosate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies offer tremendous possibilities for accurate detection of mutations endowing pesticide resistance, yet their use for this purpose has not emerged in crop protection. This study aims at promoting NGS use for pesticide resistance diagnosis. It describes a simple procedure accessible to virtually any scientist and implementing freely accessible programs for the analysis of NGS data. RESULTS Three PCR amplicons encompassing seven codons of the acetolactate-synthase gene crucial for herbicide resistance were sequenced using non-quantified pools of crude DNA extracts from 40 plants in each of 28 field populations of barnyard grass, a polyploid weed. A total of 63,959 quality NGS sequence runs were obtained using the 454 technology. Three herbicide-resistance-endowing mutations (Pro-197-Ser, Pro-197-Leu and/or Trp-574-Leu) were identified in seven populations. The NGS results were confirmed by individual plant Sanger sequencing. CONCLUSION This work demonstrated the feasibility of NGS-based detection of pesticide resistance, and the advantages of NGS compared with other molecular biology techniques for analysing large numbers of individuals. NGS-based resistance diagnosis has the potential to play a substantial role in monitoring resistance, maintaining pesticide efficacy and optimising pesticide applications.

Abstract
Biotypes of Echinochloa crus-galli var. formosensis with resistance to cyhalofop-butyl, an acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitor, have been found in dry-seeded rice fields in Okayama, Japan. We collected two lines with suspected resistance (Ecf27 and Ecf108) from dry-seeded rice fields and investigated their sensitivity to cyhalofop-butyl and other herbicides. Both lines exhibited approximately 7-fold higher resistance to cyhalofop-butyl than a susceptible line. Ecf108 was susceptible to penoxsulam, an acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor. On the other hand, Ecf27 showed resistance to penoxsulam and two other ALS inhibitors: propyrisulfuron and pyriminobac-methyl. The alternative herbicides butachlor, thiobencarb, and bispyribac-sodium effectively controlled both lines. To examine the molecular mechanisms of resistance, we amplified and sequenced the target-site encoding genes in Ecf27, Ecf108, and susceptible lines. Partial sequences of six ACCase genes and full-length sequences of three ALS genes were examined. One of the ACCase gene sequences encodes a truncated aberrant protein due to a frameshift mutation in both lines. Comparisons of the genes among Ecf27, Ecf108, and the susceptible lines revealed that none of the ACCases and ALSs in Ecf27 and Ecf108 have amino acid substitutions that are known to confer herbicide resistance, although a single amino acid substitution was found in each of three ACCases in Ecf108. Our study reveals the existence of a multiple-herbicide resistant biotype of E. crus-galli var. formosensis at Okayama, Japan that shows resistance to cyhalofop-butyl and several ALS inhibitors. We also found a biotype that is resistant only to cyhalofop-butyl among the tested herbicides. The resistance mechanisms are likely to be non-target-site based, at least in the multiple-herbicide resistant biotype.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pollen-mediated gene flow (PMGF) can facilitate the dispersal and spread of herbicide resistance from one weed population to another within an agricultural landscape. The aim of this study was to quantify the extent of PMGF in Echinochloa crus-galli (barnyardgrass), an important herbicide-resistant weed species in the United States and across the world. RESULTS Gene flow declined exponentially with distance, and the double exponential decay model predicted an average gene flow of 5.6% when the pollen donor and recipient plants were at a close distance of 0.25 m from each other (12.5% at 0 m). Gene flow declined by 90% at 0.9 m from the pollen source, yet gene flow was detected as far as 50 m (the farthest distance studied). The farthest gene flow occurred in directions of the fastest wind events, but mean gene flow levels were similar among the directions. CONCLUSION Results indicate that long-distance, landscape-scale PMGF is unlikely in barnyardgrass, but gene flow is likely to occur between adjacent fields at levels greater than initial frequencies of resistance alleles in natural, unselected populations. Thus, any resistance management strategy should consider the likelihood that PMGF can contribute to the spread of herbicide resistance between production fields.

Upon exposure to bispyribac, strong induction of bispyribac-metabolising P450 activity has been reported in the resistant line, indicating that P450s induced by bispyribac are involved in the bispyribac resistance. RESULTS A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based cloning strategy was used to isolate 39 putative P450 genes from the bispyribac-resistant line of E. phyllopogon. Expression analysis by real-time PCR revealed that seven of the isolated genes were upregulated in response to bispyribac treatment of seedlings at the three-leaf stage. The transcript levels and protein sequences of the seven genes were compared between the bispyribac-resistant line and a susceptible line. CYP71AK2 and CYP72A254 were transcribed prominently in the bispyribac-resistant line. Amino acid polymorphisms were found in three genes, including CYP72A254. CONCLUSION Upregulated expression of these genes is consistent with the inducible herbicide-metabolising P450 activity under bispyribac stress that was reported in a previous study. This is the first study to compare P450 genes in arable weed species in order to elucidate the mechanism for P450-mediated herbicide resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies were carried out to elucidate the mechanism of resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides in 29 Echinochloa accessions from water-seeded rice fields of northern Greece and to discriminate the Echinochloa species. RESULTS Two E. oryzicola accessions were found to be cross-resistant to penoxsulam, bispyribac-sodium, imazamox, foramsulfuron, nicosulfuron and rimsulfuron, whereas all accessions were susceptible (S) to profoxydim. Sequencing of the ALS gene revealed that resistant (R) accessions had a Trp574Leu mutation, which was also confirmed by TspRI endonuclease digestion. Use of cpDNA sequence comparison analysis of Echinochloa species discriminated successfully E. crus-galli and E. oryzicola accessions. CONCLUSION This is the first report of Echinochloa oryzicola cross-resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides as a result of Trp574Leu mutation. The cpDNA sequence comparison analysis is a reliable tool for discrimination of conventionally classified E. crus-galli and E. oryzicola accessions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Target-site resistance is the major cause of herbicide resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS)- and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides in arable weeds, whereas non-target-site resistance is rarely reported. In the Echinochloa phyllopogon biotypes resistant to these herbicides, target-site resistance has not been reported, and non-target-site resistance is assumed to be the basis for resistance. To explore why target-site resistance had not occurred, the target-site genes for these herbicides were isolated from E. phyllopogon, and their expression levels in a resistant biotype were determined. RESULTS Two complete ALS genes and the carboxyltransferase domain of four ACCase genes were isolated. The expression levels of ALS and ACCase genes were higher in organs containing metabolically active meristems, except for ACC4, which was not expressed in any organ. The differential expression among examined organs was more prominent for ALS2 and ACC2 and less evident for ALS1, ACC1 and ACC3. CONCLUSION E. phyllopogon has multiple copies of the ALS and ACCase genes, and different expression patterns were observed among the copies. The existence of three active ACCase genes and the difference in their relative expression levels could influence the occurrence of target-site resistance to ACCase inhibitors in E. phyllopogon.

Abstract
China is one of the origin centers of rice (Oryza sativa), with a distribution of abundant wild rice germplasm resources. Since the biosafety certificates were issued to Bt transgenic rice containing cry1Ac gene against lepidopteran pests, concerns are raised on the gene flow from transgenic rice to its wild relatives. This paper reviewed the occurrence of transgenic rice gene flow and its potential ecological consequences. Most studies suggested that transgenic rice could successfully hybridize with cultivated rice, wild rice (O. rufipogon), red rice (O. sativa f. spontanea), and barnyard grass (Echinochloa caudata), and the gene flow from transgenic rice had a lower occurrence frequency and was highly variable. Once the gene flow successfully occurred, the transgenes could introgress into a wild population within only a few generations because of the fitness advantage of transgenic rice due to the new selective traits of transgenes. When the transgenic plants invaded and persisted in a wild population, the dynamic changes of the mixed population would depend on the relative fitness and competition capability. To study the effects of the gene flow of transgenic rice and its long-term ecological consequences would have significance in rationally protecting and utilizing wild rice germplasm resources in China.

Abstract
Plant-plant interference is the combined effect of allelopathy, resource competition, and many other factors. Separating allelopathy from resource competition is almost impossible in natural systems but it is important to evaluate the relative contribution of each of the two mechanisms on plant interference. Research on allelopathy in natural and cultivated plant communities has been hindered in the absence of a reliable method that can separate allelopathic effect from resource competition. In this paper, the interactions between allelopathic rice accession PI312777, non-allelopathic rice accession Lemont and barnyardgrass were explored respectively by using a target (rice)-neighbor (barnyardgrass) mixed-culture in hydroponic system. The relative competitive intensity (RCI), the relative neighbor effect (RNE) and the competitive ratio (CR) were used to quantify the intensity of competition between each of the two different potentially allelopathic rice accessions and barnyardgrass. Use of hydroponic culture system enabled us to exclude any uncontrolled factors that might operate in the soil and we were able to separate allelopathy from resource competition between each rice accession and barnyardgrass. The RCI and RNE values showed that the plant-plant interaction was positive (facilitation) for PI312777 but that was negative (competition) for Lemont and barnyardgrass in rice/barnyardgrass mixed-cultures. The CR values showed that one PI312777 plant was more competitive than 2 barnyardgrass plants. The allelopathic effects of PI312777 were much more intense than the resource competition in rice/barnyardgrass mixed cultures. The reverse was true for Lemont. These results demonstrate that the allelopathic effect of PI312777 was predominant in rice/barnyardgrass mixed-cultures. The most significant result of our study is the discovery of an experimental design, target-neighbor mixed-culture in combination with competition indices, can successfully separate allelopathic effects from competition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quinclorac (3,7-dichloro-quinoline-carboxylic acid) is a selective herbicide widely used to control annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds. Echinochloa phyllopogon (Stapf) Koss. is the most noxious grass weed in California rice fields and has evolved resistance to multiple herbicides with different modes of action. A quinclorac-resistant (R) E. phyllopogon biotype found in a Sacramento Valley rice field where quinclorac has never been applied was investigated. RESULTS Resistant to susceptible (S) GR(50) (herbicide rate for 50% growth reduction) ratios ranged from 6 to 17. The cytochrome P450 inhibitor malathion (200 mg L(-1)) caused R plants to become as quinclorac susceptible as S plants. Quinclorac rapidly (6 HAT) stimulated ethylene formation in S plants, but only marginally in R plants. Malathion pretreatment did not reduce ethylene formation by quinclorac-treated S and R plants. Activity of β-cyanoalanine synthase (β-CAS) in tissue extracts was 2-3-fold greater in R than in S plants, and incubation of shoot extracts with 1 mM malathion reduced β-CAS activity by 40% in both biotypes. CONCLUSION Resistance to quinclorac in R E. phyllopogon involved at least two mechanisms: (a) insensitivity along the response pathway whereby quinclorac induces ethylene production; (b) enhanced β-CAS activity, which should enable greater HCN detoxification following quinclorac stimulation of ethylene biosynthesis. This unveils new resistance mechanisms for this multiple-resistant biotype widely spread throughout California rice fields.
