HRAC GROUP 2 (LEGACY B) RESISTANT WILD BUCKWHEAT
(Polygonum convolvulus (=Fallopia convolvulus))

Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B)

Australia, Queensland

INTRODUCTION		WILD BUCKWHEAT
Wild Buckwheat (Polygonum convolvulus (=Fallopia convolvulus)) is a dicot weed in the Polygonaceae family. In Queensland this weed first evolved resistance to Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides in 1993 and infests Wheat. Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides are known as Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase (Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase ). Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to chlorsulfuron and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 2 (Legacy B) herbicides. The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action.

Beckie, H. J. ; Warwick, S. I. ; Sauder, C. A.. 2012. Acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor-resistant wild buckwheat (Polygonum convolvulus) in Alberta. Weed Technology 26 : 156 - 160.

Wild buckwheat is the most abundant broadleaf weed across the Prairie region of western Canada. Acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides are commonly used to control this species and other broadleaf weeds in cereal crops. A field survey in Alberta in 2007 identified a single population that was putatively resistant to ALS-inhibiting herbicides. In herbicide resistance screening in the greenhouse, all F₁ progeny tested were resistant to the ALS-inhibiting herbicides thifensulfuron/tribenuron, a sulfonylurea herbicide, or florasulam, a triazolopyrimidine herbicide; dose response of shoot biomass indicated the population was 10- and 20-fold less sensitive to thifensulfuron/tribenuron and florasulam, respectively, than a susceptible control population. ALS gene sequencing of 24 F₁ progeny indicated that the Trp₅₇₄Leu target-site mutation was responsible for conferring ALS-inhibitor resistance in this biotype, the first global report of ALS-inhibitor resistance for this species. Because this mutation typically endows high-level resistance across all five ALS-inhibitor classes, this wild buckwheat biotype may only be controlled by a different site-of-action herbicide..

Räder, T. ; Schulte, M. ; Steinheuer, M. ; Stuke, F.. 2010. Actual occurrence of weed biotypes in maize - effective weed control demonstrated on 200 monitoring fields in Germany and Austria. Julius-Kühn-Archiv : .

During 2008 and 2009, a study was conducted in 200 locations in Germany and Austria to monitor the frequency of occurence of various weeds and weed species and to evaluate the efficiency of herbicide treatments. The 10 most common weeds observed include goosefoot (Syngonium podophyllum), chickweed, black bindweed (Polygonum convolvulus), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli), chamomile types, field pansy (Viola arvensis) and dead nettle (Lamium spp.). The sole use of terbuthylazine proved to be effective for the control of some weed species e.g. Matricaria spp., Polygonum spp., and Chenopodium spp. The genetic resistance of some weed species e.g. Chenopodium album, Chenopodium ficifolium, Matricaria chamomilla [Chamomilla recutita], Polygonum aviculare, Polygonum convolvulus, Solanum nigrum to herbicides were also studied..

Kucharski, M.. 2008. Populations of Polygonum spp. resistant to photosystem II inhibiting herbicides in South-Western Poland. Journal of Plant Protection Research 48 : 337 - 345.

The aim of conducted research was the identification of resistance and cross-resistance of Polygonum aviculare, P. convolvulus and P. persicaria to photosystem II inhibiting herbicides (atrazine, simazine, metribuzine, metamitron, linuron, lenacil, bentazone and chloridazone). The research was conducted as monitoring tests. During eight years (2000-2007) seeds of weeds were collected from 243 fields in South-Western Poland. Resistance of biotypes was diagnosed by biological tests (evaluation of phytotoxicity, measurement of fresh plant mass and calculating of resistance index) and fluorescence method. Identified biotypes showed, in most cases, high level of resistance (IR>6). Most of Polygonum biotypes were resistant to herbicides from triazine group (artazine, simazine, metribuzine and metamitron), lenacil and chloridazone. Resistant biotypes of Polygonum were identified on 15-20% of monitored fields. Participation of resistant biotypes, for all monitored fields, in Polygonum communities did not exceed 40%. On monitored fields also several cases of cross-resistance was determined. Polygonum biotypes were resistant to atrazine and other triazines (simazine, metribuzine and metamitron), atrazine-lenacil and lenacil-chloridazone..

Kucharski, M.. 2005. For use of fluorescence method identification of weeds resistant to photosynthesis inhibitor herbicides. Progress in Plant Protection 45 : 825 - 827.

The efficacy of the biological test method and fluorescence method for the identification of weed biotypes showing resistance to herbicides (inhibitors of photosystem II) was evaluated. The materials used were seeds of Amaranthus retroflexus, Chenopodium album, Polygonum convolvulus, Sinapis arvensis, Solanum nigrum and Papaver rhoeas collected from crop fields in Lower Silesia, Poland. Susceptible and resistant biotypes of weeds were also analysed as controls. The degree of concurrence between both methods reached 78-100% for herbicides applied at post-emergence (linuron, bentazone, chlorotoluron and isoproturon), and 42-76% for herbicides applied at pre-emergence..

Haukkapää, A. L. ; Junnila, S. ; Eriksson, C. ; Tulisalo, U. ; Seppänen, M.. 2005. Efficacy of imazamox in imidazolinone-resistant spring oilseed rape in Finland. Agricultural and Food Science 14 : 377 - 388.

Imidazolinonies (IMIs) are a group of herbicides inhibiting acetolactate synthase (ALS) activity. They control the growth of many broadleaved weeds and annual grass species. Herbicide resistance against imidazolinonies has been transferred in some crop species, for example in oilseed rape. IMI-resistant oilseed rape cultivars have been developed by a mutation in ALS. They have been on the market for a few years, especially in North America. To determine if imazamox, an imidazolinone herbicide, and IMI-resistant oilseed rape cultivars are suitable for cultivation in Finland, 4 herbicide trials in 3 locations in Finland was conducted. Imazamox had no negative effect on yield or oil quality characters of IMI-resistant oilseed rape. Some transient chlorosis was observed immediately after the treatment, but it was not apparent after a few days. The effects of imazamox against the most troublesome weeds in oilseed field in Finland, Chenopodium album and Galium spurium, were very good. Imazamox had good or moderate effects on Stellaria media, whereas its effects on Viola arvensis, Lapsana communis and Fallopia convolvulus [Polygonum convolvulus] were insufficient. If the total weed number was high or the emergence of oilseed rape was slow, the application of imazamox increased the yield of oilseed rape compared to untreated control. Imazamox is a good alternative in controlling weeds for Finnish oilseed fields. Therefore, it would be beneficial to transfer the IMI-resistance into Finnish oilseed and turnip rape lines..
