ABSTRACT
Several biotypes of wind bentgrass in Poland have been identified as being resistant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) in-
hibitors. We screened these weeds with chlorsulfuron and performed a whole-plant bioassay with a range of doses based on these
four herbicides: chlorsulfuron, sulfosulfuron, propoxycarbazone-sodium and mesosulfuron-methyl + iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium
mixture. Ten biotypes, diverse in their levels of resistance, were submitted for molecular tests. PCR amplification and sequencing
of
al
s domains demonstrated numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms. Nine biotypes showed non-synonymous substitutions
in codon Pro
197
, changing it to Ser or Thr. Mutation in Pro
197
conferred a high level of resistance to the tested herbicides. Analysis of
four biotypes also revealed a substitution in the Ala
122
codon, changing it to Val. In one biotype this substitution was not accompa-
nied by Pro
197
mutation and this biotype was resistant to chlorsulfuron and mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron, but not to sulfosulfuron or
propoxycarbazone-sodium. Correspondence between mutations and levels of resistan ce to ALS inhibitors may support management
of resistant weeds with the existing palette of herbicides.
