GROUP C2/7 RESISTANT AMERICAN SLOUGHGRASS
(Beckmannia syzigachne)

PSII inhibitor (Ureas and amides) (C2/7)

China

INTRODUCTION		AMERICAN SLOUGHGRASS
American Sloughgrass (Beckmannia syzigachne) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family. In China this weed first evolved resistance to Group C2/7 herbicides in 1993 and infests Cereals, and Wheat. Group C2/7 herbicides are known as PSII inhibitor (Ureas and amides) (Inhibition of photosynthesis at photosystem II). Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to chlorotoluron and they may be cross-resistant to other Group C2/7 herbicides. The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action.

Li YiWei ; Chen YiFeng ; Li YongFeng ; Tang RiSheng ; Mei ChuanSheng. 1997. Inductive resistance to chlorsulfuron in Beckmannia syzigachne and Alopecurus japonicum in vitro. Jiangsu Journal of Agricultural Sciences 13 : 85 - 89.

In vitro experiments were conducted to study the characteristics of induced resistance to chlorsulfuron in subcultures of Beckmannia syzigachne and Alopecurus japonicum young-panicle callus tissue. Results indicated that the sensitivity of acetolactate synthase (ALS) decreased in both the weed species with increasing chlorsulfuron concentration. The IC₅₀ (the concentration causing 50% inhibition) of ALS activity increased from 1 to 300 µg/litre for 6-12 subcultures of B. syzigachne and from 1 to 100 µg for 4-10 subcultures of A. japonicum. Induced resistance was also observed in regenerated plantlets of B. syzigachne; resistant plantlets from subcultures exposed to high levels of chlorsulfuron suffered less inhibition of growth when exposed to 200 µg and fewer died when exposed to 1000 µg than did those regenerated from subcultures with a history of lower level chlorsulfuron exposure. Callus growth and differentiation, and plantlet development in B. syzigachne were unaffected by chlorsulfuron during subculturing..
