Summary: Populations of rigid ryegrass from southern Australia have developed resistance to the herbicide prosulfocarb, with different inheritance patterns observed, including dominant alleles, dominant and recessive alleles, additive dominant alleles, and independent recessive alleles. This suggests the presence of multiple mechanisms of prosulfocarb resistance in L. rigidum.

Summary: Glyphosate inhibits the synthesis of aromatic amino acids, folate, and quinone by inhibiting the EPSP synthase in Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. This study shows that environmental and undomesticated isolates of B. subtilis also adapt to glyphosate by reducing its uptake. In contrast, E. coli rapidly acquires glyphosate resistance by target modification. The proper function of the EPSP synthase is critical for cellular viability in both organisms.

Summary: This study characterized the resistance mechanisms and metabolism of a multiple resistant population of Amaranthus palmeri to glyphosate and pyrithiobac. The results showed that glyphosate resistance was due to EPSPS gene amplification, while resistance to pyrithiobac was related to point mutations in the ALS gene sequence. The study also found additional effects of EPSPS gene amplification and ALS mutations on the expression of genes in certain metabolic pathways. The physiological response of the resistant population to glyphosate and pyrithiobac was lower compared to the sensitive population.

Summary: Research using NGS technology on the AHAS enzyme in L. rigidum identified eight resistance-conferring amino acid mutation sites, with various amino acid substitutions observed among different samples. This study is the first to reveal that Pro197Thr in the AHAS enzyme confers a high level of resistance to the pyroxsulam herbicide.

Summary: The study found that different populations of rigid ryegrass exhibit varying seed germination responses to different temperatures and salt stress levels, as well as differences in seed germination rates under dark conditions. Additionally, increasing burial depth leads to a decrease in seedling emergence rates.

Summary: Gene amplification has been shown to provide resistance to glyphosate in some weed species, with EPSPS gene copies increasing in H. glaucum populations under glyphosate selection. The correlation between EPSPS copy number and glyphosate resistance suggests a dependence on glyphosate selection.

Summary: Weeds that usually grow in non-agricultural areas have developed tolerance to the herbicide flazasulfuron and show cross-tolerance to other herbicides. Filago pyramidata, found in Spanish olive groves, exhibited natural tolerance to flazasulfuron and cross-tolerance to most ALS-inhibiting herbicides. The mechanism of tolerance is enhanced metabolism mediated by glutathione-S-transferases. However, herbicides with other mechanisms of action still provide excellent control of F. pyramidata.

Summary: This article presents guidelines for assessing the impact of glyphosate-based products (GBP) on microbiomes. Field experiments and bioinformatics analyses are used to study the sensitivity of non-target organisms to GBP, and EPSPS protein sequences are analyzed to determine microbial sensitivity to glyphosate.

Summary: Three rigid ryegrass populations from southern Australia displayed cross-resistance to multiple herbicides and showed increased resistance to isoxazolidinone herbicides through recurrent selection. The use of phorate also increased LD50 values in all populations, suggesting a different resistance mechanism than herbicide activation.

Summary: The weed Carduus acanthoides L. has started invading GM crop production systems in Argentina, where glyphosate and 2,4-D are commonly used herbicides. In 2020, a population of C. acanthoides was found to have multiple resistance to both herbicides. The resistance mechanism for glyphosate was a Pro-106 mutation in the EPSPS gene, while resistance to 2,4-D was due to enhanced metabolism mediated by cytochrome P450. This is the first reported case of resistance to glyphosate and 2,4-D in C. acanthoides worldwide.

Summary: The genome of the major agricultural weed species, annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum), was assembled, annotated and analyzed. The study revealed the remarkable capacity of this weed to evolve resistance to herbicides with various modes of action. The researchers achieved a chromosome-level assembly using advanced sequencing techniques and also found evidence for the expansion of herbicide resistance-related gene families. This research provides important genetic information for the management of this problematic weed species.

Summary: Italian ryegrass populations from the Texas Blacklands region exhibited significant diversity in seed morpho-physiological traits. Differences in seed dormancy over time, as well as positive correlations between high seed weight and initial seed dormancy with survival to multiple herbicides, were observed. These findings provide valuable insights into the association between seed traits and herbicide resistance in Italian ryegrass populations.

Summary: A simple polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was developed to detect the EPSPS triple mutation in Amaranthus hybridus. Two sets of primers were designed and tested, which showed a 100% genotypic to phenotypic association. Early detection of resistance helps to better manage and control its spreading.

Summary: Palmer amaranth is a noxious weed native to the Americas that causes high crop losses and rapidly evolves resistance to herbicides. Recent studies have shown that the main resistance mechanism of this weed is target-site related, although other resistance mechanisms cannot be ruled out. Some alternative herbicides are still effective against these populations.

Summary: Understanding the diversity of polyploid Echinochloa spp. resistant to ALS inhibitors in Italian rice fields is crucial for resistance management. Molecular characterization revealed the presence of specific ALS gene mutations in E. crus-galli and E. oryzicola, contributing to their high herbicide resistance levels.
