Mode of action of herbicidal derivatives of aminomethylenebisphosphonic acid. I. Physiologic activity and inhibition of anthocyanin biosynthesis
1996
N-Pyridylaminomethylenebisphosphonic acids constitute a class of promising herbicides. Since their mode of action at the cellular level is still poorly understood, we studied the influence of N-pyridylaminomethylenebisphosphonic acids on plant growth, at the whole plant and undifferentiated tissue levels, using seedlings and cell suspension cultures of mono- and dicotyledonous species. These compounds exhibited strong herbicidal properties, being equipotent with the popular herbicide glyphosate. Since they also depressed buckweed anthocyanin biosynthesis, the shikimate pathway could represent a site of action of N-pyridylaminomethylenebisphosphonic acids.
Glyphosate residues alter the microbiota of a perennial weed with a minimal indirect impact on plant performance
2021
Abstract Purpose In cold climates, glyphosate residues may linger in soils, with effects on plant–microbe interactions and, consequently, plant performance. Here, we explore the influence of glyphosate residues on the endophytic microbiota (bacteria and fungi) and performance of the perennial nitrogen-fixing weed Lupinus polyphyllus. Methods In a common garden, we grew plants from six populations of L. polyphyllus in glyphosate-treated or untreated control soils, with or without additional phosphorus. We sampled plant microbiota (leaves, roots, nodules) and assessed plant performance based on six traits: height, retrogression probability (i.e. shrinkage), biomass, root:shoot ratio, nodule n…
Fate of the herbicides glyphosate, glufosinate-ammonium, phenmedipham, ethofumesate and metamitron in two Finnish arable soils.
2006
The fate of five herbicides (glyphosate, glufosinate-ammonium, phenmedipham, ethofumesate and metamitron) was studied in two Finnish sugar beet fields for 26 months. Soil types were sandy loam and clay. Two different herbicide-tolerant sugar beet cultivars and three different herbicide application schedules were used. Meteorological data were collected throughout the study and soil properties were thoroughly analysed. An extensive data set of herbicide residue concentrations in soil was collected. Five different soil depths were sampled. The study was carried out using common Finnish agricultural practices and represents typical sugar beet cultivation conditions in Finland. The overall obse…
The effects of short-term glyphosate-based herbicide exposure on insect gene expression profiles
2023
Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) are the most frequently used herbicides worldwide. The use of GBHs is intended to tackle weeds, but GBHs have been shown to affect the life-history traits and antioxidant defense system of invertebrates found in agroecosystems. Thus far, the effects of GBHs on detoxification pathways among invertebrates have not been sufficiently investigated. We performed two different experiments—1) the direct pure glyphosate and GBH treatment, and 2) the indirect GBH experiment via food—to examine the possible effects of environmentally relevant GBH levels on the survival of the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) and the expression profiles of their deto…
Metabolic response of bacteria to elevated concentrations of glyphosate-based herbicide.
2019
Abstract Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) are the most widespread commonly used broad-spectrum herbicides that contaminate soils and waters, are toxic to bacteria, plants and animals, and have been classified as ‘probably carcinogenic to humans’ by the International Agency for Research on Cancer in 2015. Particular soil bacteria and fungi can degrade GBHs, hence, search for new GBH-degrading strains or microbial consortia, effective under specific growth conditions and local environment, seems to be a promising solution for bio-remediation of glyphosate-contaminated environment. Consequently, there is a need for rapid and informative methods to evaluate the GBH-induced changes of the meta…
Prospects of in vivo 31P NMR method in glyphosate degradation studies in whole cell system
2009
Abstract The degradation of the phosphonate herbicide glyphosate ( N -phosphonomethylglycine) by four taxonomically distinct microorganisms was studied in vivo in whole cell system using phosphorus nuclear magnetic spectroscopy ( 31 P NMR). The time-course of glyphosate metabolization in dense cell cultures was followed by means of 31 P NMR up to 21 days after the addition. The results obtained by this non-invasive way confirmed that the cells of Spirulina platensis and Streptomyces lusitanus biodegrade herbicide. Moreover, phosphorus starvation influenced the rate of glyphosate degradation by S. platensis . On the other hand, the results of similar measurements in the cultures of green alg…

Retour d’expériences sur le semis-direct sous couvert sans glyphosate
2019
Cet article présente les travaux menés dans le cadre du projet ENGAGED. Ce projet a été initié en 2016 à la demande d'agriculteurs normands qui pratiquent le Semis Direct sous Couvert Permanent de légumineuses pérenne (luzerne, trèfle) dans des rotations avec colza, blé, orge. Il vise à construire des systèmes de cultures basés sur la couverture permanente avec des Indicateurs de Fréquence de Traitements (IFT) herbicide inférieur à 1 sans avoir recours à l’utilisation du glyphosate. La faisabilité technique et les performances économiques des systèmes de cultures seront évaluées. La première phase de ce projet consiste à identifier les leviers existants pour gérer les adventices sous un cou…
Leaching of glyphosate and AMPA under two soil management practices in Burgundy vineyards (Vosne-Romanée, 21-France)
2005
Some drinking water reservoirs under the vineyards of Burgundy are contaminated with herbicides. Thus the effectiveness of alternative soil management practices, such as grass cover, for reducing the leaching of glyphosate and its metabolite, AMPA, through soils was studied. The leaching of both molecules was studied in structured soil columns under outdoor conditions for 1 year. The soil was managed under two vineyard soil practices: a chemically treated bare calcosol, and a vegetated calcosol. After 680 mm of rainfall, the vegetated calcosol leachates contained lower amounts of glyphosate and AMPA (0.02% and 0.03%, respectively) than the bare calcosol leachates (0.06% and 0.15%, respectiv…
