To evaluate the mechanism and levels of herbicide resistance in Sinapis arvensis, a series of experiments were performed. Sequencing of ALS gene in S. arvensis sub-populations was carried out and ALS-based resistance (substitution of Asp by Glu) was detected at position 376 in this weed species. Further, it was reported that combined application of herbicide mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron can cause up to 50% reduction in dry weight (GR50) of heterozygous resistant (FHR3), homozygous resistant (FHR2) and homozygous susceptible (MHS1) sub-populations and it was reported 2409, 603 and 289 g ha -1 , respectively. Further, resistance indices (RI) were reported 8.3 and 2 for FHR3 and FHR2 sub-populations, respectively. Based on LD50, RI values were 8.5 and 4.5 for FHR3 and FHR2, respectively. Growth reduction occurred in the resistant homozygous when compared with the heterozygous sub-population in the presence of mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
