(Leptochloa virgata)

Inhibition of Enolpyruvyl Shikimate Phosphate Synthase HRAC Group 9 (Legacy G)

Mexico, Veracruz

INTRODUCTION		TROPICAL SPRANGLETOP (JUDDSGRASS)
Tropical Sprangletop (Juddsgrass) (Leptochloa virgata) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family. In Mexico this weed first evolved resistance to Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides in 2010 and infests Orchards. Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Enolpyruvyl Shikimate Phosphate Synthase (Inhibition of EPSP synthase). Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to glyphosate and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 9 (Legacy G) herbicides. The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action.

Alcántara-de la Cruz, R., Rojano-Delgado, A.M., Giménez, M.J., Cruz-Hipolito, H.E., Domínguez-Valenzuela, J.A., Barro, F. and De Prado, R.. 2016. First resistance mechanisms characterization in glyphosate-resistant Leptochloa virgata. Frontiers in Plant Science 7 : 1742 - .

Leptochloa virgata (L.) P. Beauv. is an annual weed common in citrus groves in the states of Puebla and Veracruz, Mexico limiting their production. Since 2010, several L. virgata populations were identified as being resistant to glyphosate, but studies of their resistance mechanisms developed by this species have been conducted. In this work, three glyphosate-resistant populations (R8, R14, and R15) collected in citrus orchards from Mexico, were used to study their resistance mechanisms comparing them to one susceptible population (S). Dose-response and shikimic acid accumulation assays confirmed the glyphosate resistance of the three resistant populations. Higher doses of up to 720 g ae ha-1 (field dose) were needed to control by 50% plants of resistant populations. The S population absorbed between 7 and 13% more 14C-glyphosate than resistant ones, and translocated up to 32.2% of 14C-glyphosate to the roots at 96 h after treatment (HAT). The R8, R14, and R15 populations translocated only 24.5, 26.5, and 21.9%, respectively. The enzyme activity of 5-enolpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) was not different in the S, R8 and R14 populations. The R15 Population exhibited 165.9 times greater EPSPS activity. Additionally, this population showed a higher EPSPS basal activity and a substitution in the codon 106 from Proline to Serine in the EPSPS protein sequence. EPSPS gene expression in the R15 population was similar to that of S population. In conclusion, the three resistant L. virgata populations show reduced absorption and translocation of 14C-glyphosate. Moreover, a mutation and an enhanced EPSPS basal activity at target-site level confers higher resistance to glyphosate. These results describe for the first time the glyphosate resistance mechanisms developed by resistant L. virgata populations of citrus orchards from Mexico..

Suárez, L. ; Anzalone, A. ; Moreno, O.. 2004. Evaluation of halosulfuron-methyl herbicide for weed control in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Bioagro 16 : 173 - 182.

The efficiency of weed control and selectivity for rice of halosulfuron-methyl (0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 g a.i./ha) were investigated in Venezuela. The herbicide was applied at 26 days after sowing, and the variables studied were crop damage, crown number per plant, plant height, plant loss percentage, rice grain number per panicle, 1000-grain weight, rice yield, weed control percentage and weed soil coverage. The herbicide did not show phytotoxicity at the tested rates. High number of crowns and plant height were observed under herbicide treatment. The best Cyperaceae control (>90%) was obtained at 60 g a.i./ha, and this rate also showed good control (> 80%) of Ludwigia sp. and Ischaemum rugosum. Some weeds were tolerant of the herbicide, such as Leptochloa virgata and Echinochloa colonum [E. colona]..
