Herbicide resistance or tolerance in weeds mediated by cytochrome P450 monooxygenase is a considerable problem. However, cytochrome P450 mediated resistance or tolerance in weeds was less studied. Thus, in this work, the role of the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase in the different responses of Poa annua and Alopecurus aequalis to fenoxaprop-P-ethyl was studied. We found that the effect of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl could be synergized by piperonyl butoxide (PBO) in P. annua , but not by malathion. After being treated with fenoxaprop-P-ethyl (containing mefenpyr-diethyl), the contents of cytochrome P450 and cytochrome b 5 in P. annua increased significantly compared to plants treated with mefenpyr-diethyl only or untreated plants. However, the increase was less in A. aequalis , which was susceptible to fenoxaprop-P-ethyl. The activities of ρ-nitroanisole O-demethylase (PNOD), ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD), ethoxycoumarin oxidase (ECOD) and NADPH-dependent cytochrome P450 reductase mediated by cytochrome P450 monooxygenase increased in P. annua after treatment with fenoxaprop-P-ethyl, especially the activities of ECOD and cytochrome P450 reductase. Besides this, cytochrome P450 monooxygenase activity toward fenoxaprop-P-ethyl in P. annua increased significantly compared to untreated or treated with mefenpyr-diethyl plants and treated or untreated A. aequalis . Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase may play an important role in the different responses to fenoxaprop-P-ethyl in P. annua and A. aequalis .

Polypogon fugaxis a common winter weed in China and other Asia countries. We have previously found aP. fugaxbiotype (R) resistant to acetyl co-enzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) herbicides also cannot be effectively controlled by some acetolactate synthase (ALS) herbicides. This study evaluated the level of resistance to four ALS herbicides (metsulfuron-methyl, chlorsulfuron, monosulfuron, pyribambenz isopropyl) in the R biotype and the associated resistance mechanism. The R biotype exhibited moderate level of resistance to metsulfuron-methyl (6.0-fold) compared with the sensitive biotype (S). Sequence analysis ofALSgene revealed that twoALSgenes existed inP. fugax. However, no substitution associated with ALS resistance mechanism were found inALSgenes between the S and R biotypes. The activity of ALS enzyme isolated from the R biotype was inherently higher and less sensitive to metsulfuron-methyl than the S biotype. Glutathione S-transferases (GST) activity was also less sensitive to metsulfuron-methyl in the R than as the S biotypes. Malathion, a cytochrome P450 (CYP) monooxygenase inhibitor, had much greater synergistic effect with metsulfuron-methyl on the R than as the S plants, reducing the ED50value (herbicide dose to inhibit growth by 50%) of metsulfuron-methyl by 23- and 6-fold, respectively, suggesting that CYP mediated enhanced metabolism might contribute to the resistance to ALS herbicides. These results suggest that metsulfuron-methyl resistance in the R biotype was associated with the up-regulated ALS enzymatic activity and the GST and CYP-mediated enhanced herbicide metabolism.Keywords:metsulfuron-methyl;ALS enzyme activity;Polypogon fugax;glutathione S-transferases;cytochrome P450
Alopecurus aequalis Sobol. is a predominant grass weed in Chinese winter wheat fields, posing a substantial threat to crop production owing to its escalating herbicide resistance. This study documented the initial instance of an A. aequalis population (AHFT-3) manifesting resistance to multiple herbicides targeting four distinct sites: acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), acetolactate synthase, photosystem II, and 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase. AHFT-3 carried an Asp-to-Gly mutation at codon 2078 of ACCase, with no mutations in the remaining three herbicide target genes, and exhibited no overexpression of any target gene. Compared with the susceptible population AHFY-3, AHFT-3 metabolized mesosulfuron-methyl, isoproturon, and bixlozone faster. The inhibition and comparison of herbicide-detoxifying enzyme activities indicated the participation of cytochrome P450s in the resistance to all four herbicides, with glutathione S-transferases specifically linked to mesosulfuron-methyl. Three CYP72As and a Tau class glutathione S-transferase, markedly upregulated in resistant plants, potentially played pivotal roles in the multiple-herbicide-resistance phenotype.
