Short-spike canarygrass (Phalaris brachystachys (Link.)) from Iranian wheat fields has developed resistance to acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors due a target-site mutation (Ile-1781-Thr). Target-site mutations may confer pleiotropic effects in weeds. In this paper, the possible effect of Ile-1781-Thr on ecological fitness during life cycles P. plants was investigated. ACCase gen...

The metabolic detoxication/bioactivation pathways, the levels and activity of enzymes, and endogenous cofactors mediating these reactions in crops have been well document‐ ed; however, much less evidence has been accumulated in weed species. The herbicide metabolism as a selectivity factor is summarized with special attention to acetyl-CoA car‐ boxylases (ACCase)-inhibiting aryloxyphenoxypropio...

Weed management is the major biological constraint in paddy (Oryza sativa L.) producing areas. Predominantly, barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) a rice-mimicking weed that causes 57% of yield loss rice production. Conventionally, herbicides are site-specific inhibitors often used to suppress E. crus-galli growth. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) an important target for developing novel with...

Asia minor bluegrass (Polypogon fugax) is a common annual grass weed of winter crops distributed across China. We conducted a study on the resistance level and the mechanism of resistance to ACCase-inhibiting herbicides in a P. fugax population from China. Whole-plant dose-response experiments in greenhouse showed that the resistant P. fugax population was 1991, 364, 269, 157, and 8-fold resist...

Abstract Italian ryegrass [ Lolium perenne L. spp. multiflorum (Lam.) Husnot] is one of the most troublesome weeds worldwide. also a grass seed crop cultivated on 50,000 ha in Oregon, where both diploid and tetraploid cultivars are grown. For this work, we will refer to species as multiflorum, since common names annual same species. A survey was conducted understand distribution frequency its s...
