Three cytochrome P450 genes are over-expressed in ryegrass (Lolium sp.) plants resistant to the ALS inhibitors iodosulfuron+mesosulfuron or pyroxsula…

One of the most intense abiotic stresses encountered by arable weeds infesting agricultural fields is herbicide application. Non-target-site based resistance (NTSR), which belongs to the weed herbicide stress response pathways, is an adaptive response to herbicides. Stress response is driven by gene regulation. It follows that NTSR is endowed by differences in the expression of a set of genes between sensitive and resistant plants. We developed an accurate and reliable quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay to detect differences in gene expression in the major grass weed Lolium sp. using two ALS inhibitors (iodosulfuron+mesosulfuron and pyroxsulam).
