INTRODUCTION		ANNUAL FALSEBROME
Annual Falsebrome (Brachypodium distachyon) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family. In Israel this weed first evolved resistance to Group 5 (Legacy C1 C2) herbicides in 1975 and infests Forests, and Roadsides. Group 5 (Legacy C1 C2) herbicides are known as PSII inhibitors - Serine 264 Binders (Inhbition of Photosynthesis at PSll - Serine 264 Binders ). Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to atrazine, and simazine and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 5 (Legacy C1 C2) herbicides. The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action.

Gressel, J. ; Kleifeld, Y.. 1994. Can wild species become problem weeds because of herbicide resistance? Brachypodium distachyon: a case study. Crop Protection 13 : 563 - 566.

A purported drawback to the use of transgenic herbicide-resistant crops is the fear that the crop or interbreeding wild relatives will become weedy. It has been posited that a change even in a single trait can confer weediness. This hypothesis was tested with Brachypodium distachyon. This innocuous species came into contact with herbicide through the use of crushed rock from its habitat for road foundations. It evolved s-triazine resistance and developed as a monoculture. When true weeds later developed simazine resistance, B. distachyon was partially competed from the ecosystem and then disappeared upon the use of non-triazine herbicides. Thus, this wild species remained a weed only until true weeds evolved resistance or until other herbicides were used. One gene mutation did not convert it into a weed, which implies that this will be equally improbable in other cases, when the gene codes for an otherwise neutral trait such as herbicide resistance..

0.375, 0.500 and 0.625 kg imazapyr/ha and combinations of 5.0 kg atrazine + 1.9 kg amitrole or 8.0 kg diuron + 1.9 kg amitrole/ha were evaluated for roadside control of Cruciferae, Umbelliferae, Compositae, Papilionaceae [Leguminosae] and grasses (mostly Brachypodium distachyon and Lophochloa phleoides). Treatments were applied post-em. to weeds 40-50 cm tall. Imazapyr acted very slowly with the first symptoms visible only 4 weeks after application and complete control evident 4 months later. The highest application rate achieved complete control of all annual weeds and inhibition of growth of the perennial Andropogon distachyos. Atrazine + amitrole and diuron + amitrole provided good control of annual weeds. In further trials on a roadside verge in the Ayalon Valley 0.375, 0.500 and 0.625 kg imazapyr, 4.0 kg diuron + 2.5 kg atrazine and 3.2 kg diuron + 0.8 kg bromacil/ha were applied post-em. to weeds 15-40 cm tall. 6 months after application 0.625 kg imazapyr provided excellent weed control, compared with 90% control by the herbicide combinations.

Gressel, J. ; Malkin, S. ; Regev, Y. ; Kleifeld, Y.. 1983. A biotype of Brachypodium distachyon with increased tolerance and plastid resistance to s-triazines. : 76 - 77.

In greenhouse trials a triazine-resistant biotype of B. distachyon was not affected by 3 kg of soil-incorporated atrazine or simazine/ha whereas the wild biotype was killed. The mode of resistance was studied using the triazine sensitive wild biotype growing in nearby fields as a control. The plastids of the resistant biotype were unaffected by atrazine as ascertained by whole leaf fluorescence, plastid fluorescence and ferricyanide 'right arrow' ferrocyanide measurement of the Hill reaction. The resistant biotype was inhibited by diuron suggesting that the typical plastid mode of resistance, found in many weeds, occurs here as well. The resistant biotype metabolized 14C-(ring)-atrazine more rapidly to both water-soluble and to chloroform-soluble products than the wild biotype but that could not account for the immediate resistance at the plastid level. Simazine treatments of roadsides simultaneously selected for increased tolerance (via detoxification) as well as for plastid level resistance..

A triazine-resistant (R) biotype of B. distachyon (=Trachynia distachya) was found in the lower Galilee area of Israel after repeated treatments of roadsides with simazine + atrazine. It was not affected at levels up to 3.0 kg of soil-incorporated atrazine or simazine/ha. Measurements of whole-leaf and plastid fluorescences and the Hill reaction indicated that the R biotype was unaffected by atrazine. The triazine-sensitive (S) biotype was inhibited in all these reactions. The R biotype metabolized ¹⁴-C-labelled atrazine more rapidly to both water-soluble and chloroform-soluble compounds than the S biotype did, but that could not explain the immediate resistance at the plastid level..

Regev, Y. ; Kleifeld, Y.. 1982. A triazine-resistant weed -- is it a sign of a new problem?. Hassadeh 62 : 2284 - 2286.

Herbicide application to side roads in lower Galilee and the Yizre'el and Bet She'an Valleys was not always effective in controlling weeds. Brachypodium distachyon became the dominant weed at treated sites. Plants collected from a site regularly sprayed with triazine herbicides were very resistant to triazines whereas plants from untreated areas were susceptible..
