Plants of Sumatran fleabane [Conyza sumatrensis (Retz.) E. Walker] were identified in a field with an unusual rapid leaf-injury herbicide symptoms after application of 2,4-D in mixture with glyphosate. The objectives of this study were to confirm the occurrence of resistance to 2,4-D herbicide and to characterize the occurrence of rapid necrosis as the mechanism associated with the herbicide resistance in C. sumatrensis. The studies performed were an initial screening, effect of 2,4-D alone and associated with glyphosate, cross- and multiple-resistance evaluation, effect of commercial formulation and analytical product, and rate of H2O2 evolution. The Marpr9-rn accession was identified with rapid necrosis symptoms and survival to 804 g ae ha−1 of 2,4-D. The resistance factor to the herbicide 2,4-D was 18.6 at 49 d after spraying. The analytical product 2,4-D and the commercial formulation resulted in similar symptoms of rapid necrosis. This symptom did not occur for the six other auxinic herbicides (dicamba, florpyrauxifen-benzyl, fluroxypyr, halauxifen-methyl, picloram, and triclopyr), indicating absence of cross-resistance. Multiple resistance to the herbicides paraquat, saflufenacil, and ammonium glufosinate was not identified in the Marpr9-rn population. However, survival following treatment with the herbicides glyphosate and chlorimuron-ethyl occurred. The evolution of H2O2 began at 15 min after application and was less pronounced in low light. These results indicate the first case of resistance to 2,4-D and occurrence of rapid necrosis in C. sumatrensis.

-Weeds are among the main constraints to high grain yield on hexaploid oat (Avena sativa), but there are few herbicides registered for weed control on this cereal crop. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the impact of the iodosulfuron-methyl on grain yield of elite oat cultivars and investigate the mechanism of oat tolerance to this herbicide. A field experiment conducted in 2012 demonstrated there was no difference on grain yield between cultivars URS Guará and URS Guria, when iodosulfuron-methyl was used up to 4.5 g ha , did not affect the oat grain yield of the genotype UFRGS 14, but affected it on the cultivars URS Guará and URS Guria. In 2014, the oat grain yield of five cultivars, including URS Guará, URS Guria and UFRGS 14 was reduced by iodosulfuron-methyl even at only 2.5 g ha -1. The activity of the ALS enzyme, extracted from oat plants, was sensitive to iodosulfuron-methyl. The increment of the iodosulfuron-methyl effect on oat plants treated with herbicide-detoxification inhibitors (malathion + chlorpyrifos), or the reduction of the herbicide efficacy in plants sprayed with the stimulator of detoxification (mefenpyr-diethyl), suggest that iodosulfuron-methyl degradation is the mechanism involved on its selectivity to oat plants.Keywords: Avena sativa, detoxification, tolerance, acetolactate synthase inhibitor. RESUMO -As plantas daninhas estão entre os principais problemas para o alto rendimento de grãos em aveia hexaploide (Avena sativa), mas existem poucos herbicidas registrados para o controle de plantas daninhas nessa cultura de cereais. Os objetivos deste estudo foram avaliar o impacto do iodosulfuron-methyl no rendimento de grãos de cultivares de aveia elite e investigar o mecanismo de

A presente revisão objetivou organizar e sintetizar o conhecimento disponível na literatura com respeito aos fatores ambientais que afetam a efi cácia do glifosato. Foram abordados os seguintes aspectos: temperatura, umidade relativa do ar, solo, irradiância, disponibilidade de nutrientes e o estado nutricional das plantas, ocorrência de chuva após a aplicação do produto, assim como a interação entre o ambiente e as características morfológicas e fenológicas das plantas. Verifi cou-se que, em geral, temperatura e estado nutricional das plantas ótimos para o crescimento vegetal favorecem a efi cácia do glifosato no controle de infestantes. Umidade relativa do ar superior a 65 % tende a facilitar a absorção do herbicida. Irradiância elevada auxilia a ação de glifosato, mas há espécies vegetais em que o sombreamento parcial favorece o controle com o herbicida. A maioria dos trabalhos da literatura consultados trata da avaliação do efeito de fatores isoladamente. No entanto, como em condições reais ocorre a associação dos fatores de estresse mencionados há a necessidade de trabalhos de campo que avaliem a interação entre eles.

RESUMO -O composto diclorofenoxiacetato (2,4-D) foi o primeiro herbicida orgânico, sistêmico, seletivo e de aplicação em pós-emergência desenvolvido no mundo. Juntamente com a revolução verde, ele contribuiu para elevar a produção dos cereais nas décadas posteriores a 1950. Esse produto é uma auxina sintética que pode ser utilizada como regulador do crescimento vegetal ou, ainda, como herbicida para o controle de espécies daninhas dicotiledôneas. Várias espécies infestantes dicotiledôneas que apresentam dificuldade de controle com outros herbicidas são suscetíveis ao 2,4-D. Contudo, a utilização desse herbicida fica restrita pela falta de seletividade em algumas culturas agrícolas. Nas últimas décadas, a descoberta de genes relacionados à tolerância ao 2,4-D em bactérias encontradas no solo e a sua transferência para culturas possibilitaram o desenvolvimento de linhagens tolerantes ao produto. Os objetivos desta revisão de literatura foram apresentar os genes e a atividade das enzimas responsáveis pela tolerância ao herbicida 2,4-D; ilustrar os mecanismos envolvidos na seletividade ao 2,4-D e a outros herbicidas; e equacionar algumas implicações para o manejo de plantas daninhas. ABSTRACT -The compound dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D) was the first organic, systemic, selective herbicide, and for post-emergence application to be developed in the world.

-Temperature affects the selectivity of post-emergence herbicides in a complex manner. The objective of this work was to develop a method to estimate the impact of temperature on herbicide selectivity using the white oat (Avena sativa) crop and iodosulfuron-methyl as study models. Greenhouse/growth-chamber experiments were conducted using a completely randomized design with the treatments arranged as a bi-factorial, with three repetitions. The first factor consisted of six temperatures (10, 15, 20, 24, 28 and ). For each temperature, regression curves were fitted to the dose-response data. The rate of herbicide efficacy was computed through the method first proposed in this study. The crop tolerance to the herbicide increased proportionally to the temperature, suggesting the product detoxification is improving crop selectivity. In practical terms, it is predicted that white oat crop tolerance to iodosulfuron-methyl increases in regions of the world with high temperatures. The method developed here also can be used to understand the effect of temperature on herbicide efficacy on weeds.Keywords: Avena sativa, crop tolerance, environmental factors, herbicide detoxification.

O objetivo desta revisão de literatura foi organizar o conhecimento disponível na literatura com respeito aos fatores ambientais e fi siológicos que afetam a efi cácia dos herbicidas inibidores de ALS. Dentre os fatores ambientais que afetam a efi cácia dos herbicidas inibidores de ALS incluem-se a temperatura, a umidade relativa do ar, a irradiância e o estado nutricional das plantas. Dentre os fatores fi siológicos que afetam a dose empregada destacam-se as enzimas envolvidas na detoxifi cação dos herbicidas e as enzimas que aliviam os efeitos dos estresses oxidativos que decorrem da ação herbicida. Há necessidade de se investir em mais estudos integradores do conhecimento de forma a se desenvolver estratégias para otimizar a atividade dos herbicidas inibidores da ALS que possibilitem a redução da dose dos produtos sem comprometer a efi cácia no controle das infestantes e, por consequência, garantir a produtividade das lavouras.

In 2015, plants of Sumatran fleabane [Conyza sumatrensis (Retz.) E. Walker] were identified in a crop field with an unusual rapid necrosis herbicide symptom after application of 2,4-D. An initial study identified that the symptoms began about 2 h after herbicide application, the resistance factor was high (resistance factor = 19), and the resistance decreased at low light. The mechanism of resistance is not yet known, but the symptomatology suggests it may be related to reduced translocation, ATP-binding cassette (ABC) class B transporters, changes on auxin perception genes, or induction of genes involved in response to pathogens and abiotic stresses. The objective of this study was to use inhibitors of enzymes involved in detoxification and carriers to investigate the mechanisms involved in the resistance to 2,4-D caused by rapid necrosis. Neither the inhibitors of ABC and auxin transporters, triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA), 1-N-naphythylphthalamic acid (NPA), verapamil, and orthovanadate, nor the inhibitors of detoxifying enzymes, such as malathion, 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Cl), and imidazole, reduced the frequency of the rapid necrosis phenotype. However, orthovanadate and sodium azide (possibly related to auxin transport) were able to partially reduce oxidative stress in leaf disks. The expression of ABCM10 (an ABCD transporter gene), TIR1_1 (an auxin receptor gene), and CAT4 (an amino acid transporter gene) was quickly reduced after 2,4-D application in the resistant accession. Contrary to our hypothesis, LESION SIMULATING DISEASE RESISTANCE 1_3 (LSD1_3) expression increased in response to 2,4-D. LSD1_3 is important for the response to pathogen and abiotic stresses. The rapid necrosis mechanism is not related to 2,4-D detoxification but might be related to changes in the TIR receptor or auxin transport. Mutations in other transporters or in proteins involved in abiotic and pathogen stresses cannot be ruled out.
