Abstract : Wild panicgrass (Panicummiliaceum L. var. ruderale kit.) is an annual grass weed that primarily occurs in maize fields. Nicosulfuron is a widely used selective herbicide that effectively controls gramineous weeds in maize fields. However, owing to its long-term and extensive application, the control of P. miliaceum has been substantially reduced. The objective of this study was to determine the resistance pattern to ALS inhibitors in P. miliaceum and investigate the underlying resistance mechanisms. These are important for guiding the prevention and eradication of resistant weeds. Whole plant bioassays showed P. miliaceum had evolved high levels of resistance to nicosulfuron and multiple resistance to atrazine and mesotrione. The ALS gene sequence results indicated the absence of mutations in the resistant population. Additionally, there was no significant difference found in the inhibition rate of the ALS enzyme activity (I50) between the resistant and sensitive populations. Following the application of malathion the resistant P. miliaceum population became more sensitive to nicosulfuron. At 96 h after application of nicosulfuron, glutathione-S-transferase activity in the resistant population was significantly higher than that in the susceptible population. The study reveals that the main cause of resistance to ALS inhibitor herbicide in P. miliaceum is likely increased metabolism of herbicides. These findings may assist in devising effective strategies for preventing and eliminating resistant P. miliaceum.
