TOPICS
ABSTRACT
Blackgrass biotype resistant to the mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron mixture has been found in Poland and was investigated
in this study. Seedlings that survived double-dosed herbicide treatment were submitted to molecular analysis in order to explain the
mechanism of resistance. Domains A and B of the acetolactate synthase gene were amplified by PCR and then sequenced. Biotypes
which were both resistant and susceptible to mesosulfuron+iodosulfuron were analyzed. The comparison of the obtained sequences
was made on a nucleotide and aminoacid level. The comparison revealed a substitution of proline codon to histidine codon in position
197 in each resistant plant. Mutation Pro197His is the basis of the target site resistance of
A. myosuroides
to sulfonylureas. There were
no other mutations in
als
gene of the biotype that might modify the level of resistance to these herbicides.
