Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

China

INTRODUCTION		VARIABLELEAF YELLOWCRESS
Variableleaf Yellowcress (Rorippa indica) is a dicot weed in the Brassicaceae family. In China this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 2011 and infests Winter wheat. Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase (Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase ). Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to tribenuron-methyl and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides. The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action.

Zhao, Xx; Xia, Qx; Lu, Dl; Lu, Wp; Qi, Ck; Pu, Hm (More...)Liu, Gs; Zhao, J; Wang, Yp. 2006. Gene flow from genetically modified herbicide-resistant rapeseed to cruciferous weeds. Progress In Natural Science 16 : 936 - 941.

The sexual compatibility between genetically modified (GM) glyphosate-resistant rapeseed variety Q3 (Brassica napus L.) and 5 cruciferous weeds is studied through the observation of fluorescence microscopy and cross-fertility after manual pollination. The results indicated that Q3 (as male) was highly incompatible with Thlaspi arvense L., Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medic, Cardamine hirsuta L. and Rorippa palustris (L.) Besser (as female). Fluorescence microscopic observation showed that growing of pollen tubes terminated on the stigma surface or at the upper 1/3 part of the style. However, B. juncea X Q3 was compatible, and the compatibility index was 1.65. Under the neighboring growth and natural pollination conditions, the rates of gene flow from Q3 to T. arvense, C. bursa-pastoris, C. hirsute and R. palustris were all 0, while it was 0.86% for B. juncea. These results indicate that there is difference in the rate of gene flow between GM rapeseed and cruciferous wild weeds, and frequency of gene flow is highly correlated with sexual compatibility.
