Preston C, Powles SB: Evolution of herbicide resistance in weeds: initial frequency of target site-based resistance to acetolactate synthase-inhibiting herbicides in Lolium rigidum. Heredity. 2002 Jan;88(1):8-13.
The frequency of individuals resistant to two acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides in three previously untreated populations of Lolium rigidum was determined. The frequency of individuals resistant to the sulfonylurea herbicide sulfometuron-methyl varied from 2.2 x 10 (-5) to 1.2 x 10 (-4) and the frequency of individuals resistant to the imidazolinone herbicide imazapyr varied from 1 x 10 (-5) to 5.8 x 10 (-5) depending on the population. Application of sulfometuron-methyl selected individuals with a herbicide-insensitive ALS, which was also cross-resistant to imazapyr. The high initial frequency of individuals resistant to ALS-inhibiting herbicides in L. rigidumpopulations never previously exposed to these herbicides helps explain the rapid evolution of herbicide resistance in this species once ALS-inhibiting herbicides were used. |
