INTRODUCTION		PERENNIAL RYEGRASS
Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family. In Denmark this weed first evolved multiple resistance (to 2 herbicide sites of action) in 2016 and infests Wheat. Multiple resistance has evolved to herbicides in the Groups 1 (Legacy A), and Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B). These particular biotypes are known to have resistance to clodinafop-propargyl, and iodosulfuron-methyl-Na and they may be cross-resistant to other herbicides in the Groups 1 (Legacy A), and Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase HRAC Group 2 (Legacy B). The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action.

NOTES ABOUT THIS BIOTYPE

GENERAL

Solvejg Mathiassen

April 2017 Update

Lolium perenne

This is the first report on resistance in L. perenne in Denmark. Three cases were identified in the herbicide resistance survey on untreated plots in agricultural fields all over Denmark. Overall L. perenne was resistant in 19% of the fields (3 out of 16 samples, to be presented in Denver in May). The samples were tested in pot experiments including a susceptible reference population. Two samples were resistant to iodosulfuron and one to clodinafop. The resistance factors were <5 indicating enhanced metabolism as the most likely mechanism of resistance.

Menegat, A., G. C. Bailly, R. Aponte, G. M. T. Heinrich, B. Sievernich, and R. Gerhards. 2016. Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) amino acid substitution Asp376Glu in Lolium perenne: effect on herbicide efficacy and plant growth.. J Plant Dis Prot DOI 10.1007/s41348-016-0023-2 : .

Recently, the acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) amino acid substitution Asp376Glu was detected in a Lolium perenne population originating in France. This is the first documented occurrence of the Asp376Glu single- nucleotide polymorphism in a Lolium species. The effects on herbicide efficacy and plant fitness are presented. Separation of the original population into different genetic subgroups allowed the comparison of different L. perenne AHAS genotypes according to their susceptibility to AHAS-inhibiting herbicides. Root and shoot biomass accumulation as well as tiller production was analysed for resistant and sensitive populations. Genotype-specific AHAS activity and inhibition were studied in vitro, using recombinant Arabidopsis thaliana DNA. Plants expressing the AHAS Asp376Glu genotype were resistant against mesosulfuron ? iodosulfuron, pyroxsulam and propoxycarbazone. To imazamox, reduced susceptibility for dosages below 140 g a.i. ha-1 was observed. In the absence of herbicide, no significant impact of the Asp376Glu genotype on shoot biomass and tiller accumulation could be observed, whereas root biomass of the Asp376Glu genotype was significantly reduced by 68 % compared to the AHAS genetic wild type. The AHAS enzyme study revealed reduced AHAS enzyme rate of 48 % for the Asp376Glu genotype compared to the AHAS genetic wild type. This study highlights the role of the amino acid exchange on resistance profile against the most relevant AHAS-inhibiting herbicides. First indications were found that fitness of the Asp376Glu genotype is hampered..

BACKGROUND

Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) has developed resistance to glyphosate within New Zealand vineyards following many years of herbicide application. The objectives of this work were to confirm resistance within two populations obtained from affected vineyards, and to determine the mechanism of resistance to glyphosate.

RESULTS

Population O was confirmed to have a 25‐fold resistance to glyphosate, whereas population J had a sevenfold resistance. Results of genotyping assays demonstrated a single nucleotide substitution at codon 106 of 5‐enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐phosphate synthase in population O but not population J. Glyphosate‐resistant and glyphosate‐susceptible populations did not differ in glyphosate absorption. However, in both resistant populations, much more of the absorbed 14C‐glyphosate remained in the treated leaf than occurred in the susceptible population. Significantly more glyphosate was found in the pseudostem region of susceptible plants compared with resistant plants.

CONCLUSION

Both target‐site and non‐target‐site mechanisms of glyphosate resistance were found in the perennial ryegrass population with 25‐fold resistance, whereas only the non‐target‐site mechanism of resistance was found in the population with sevenfold resistance. This is the first study of the mechanism of glyphosate resistance in perennial ryegrass.

Plants were obtained from two populations of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) and three populations of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) from different vineyards in Marlborough and Nelson that were suspected of being resistant to glyphosate following many consecutive applications of this herbicide over recent years. Each population was multiplied by splitting out tillers, and this was also done for plants taken from a population of each species from Manawatu pastures where they had not been exposed to glyphosate application. A dose-response experiment showed that four populations taken from the vineyards were about 10 times as resistant to glyphosate as those plants that had not been previously exposed to the herbicide. The experiment was repeated and showed one perennial ryegrass population to have a 30-fold level of resistance. These are the first confirmed cases of glyphosate resistance within New Zealand..

Lolium perenne ssp. multiflorum (Italian ryegrass) is a major weed problem in wheat production. Being an obligate outcrossing species, it has a high propensity to evolve resistance to herbicides. This study was conducted to determine the level of resistance and resistance patterns of Italian ryegrass populations in the United States to ACCase- (diclofop and pinoxaden) and ALS (imazamox, mesosulfuron, and pyroxsulam) inhibitors. Dose-response bioassays were conducted on 47 populations from suspect herbicide-resistant fields in the southern United States (Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia), Kansas, and Washington collected between 2008 and 2011 from fields suspected of resistance to ALS inhibitors. Eighty-seven percent of the populations were resistant to diclofop. Eight of the diclofop-resistant populations (25%) were also resistant to pinoxaden. Thirty-eight diclofop-resistant populations (81%) were resistant to at least one ALS inhibitor. Thirty-nine populations (83%) were resistant to mesosulfuron, 38 of which were also resistant to pyroxsulam. All mesosulfuron-resistant populations tested were cross-resistant to imazamox and pyroxsulam. Cross-resistance patterns to ALS inhibitors differed. Of 45 populations with resistance to ACCase or ALS inhibitors, 35 (78%) had multiple resistance to both modes of action. The majority of diclofop-resistant L. perenne populations can be controlled with pinoxaden, but widespread resistance to pinoxaden can evolve soon if it is intensively used. A comprehensive weed management approach prior to planting will be critical in managing L. perenne in wheat and preventing or delaying resistance evolution..

Scarabaeid larvae- and herbicide-resistant transgenic perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) obtained by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of cry8Ca2, cry8Ga and bar genes. Journal of Integrative Agriculture 11 : 53 - 61.

Insect pest and weeds are two major problems for forage and turf grasses. In this study, scarab larvae- and herbicideresistant transgenic perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) was obtained by transforming it with cry and bar genes simultaneously via the Agrobacterium-mediated method. To optimize the callus induction and plant regeneration conditions, various concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 6-benzylaminopurine were assayed. The transformation efficiencies of different Agrobacterium suspension media, used during Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, were compared. Then, plasmids of pCAMBIA3301 containing cry gene (cry8Ca2 or cry8Ga) and bar gene, driven by ubiquitin promoter, were transformed into perennial ryegrass. The transformants were generated and confirmed by both Southern hybridization analysis and Western hybridization analysis. Further, the resistance of transgenic perennial ryegrass plants to scarab larvae and herbicide were analyzed. After 30 d of co-cultivation with scarab larvae, the damage to the root system of transgenic plants was less than that of non-transgenic control plants. Additionally, the leaves of transgenic plants were resistant to Basta®, while leaves of the wild plants wilted after Basta® spraying. These results show that cry gene and bar gene were successfully transferred into perennial ryegrass by the Agrobactgerium-mediated method, and convey resistance to scarab larvae and herbicide in transgenic perennial ryegrass plants..
