Mechanisms of Tolerance to Triazolopyrimidine Sulfonanilide Herbicides

  • Chapter
Herbicides Inhibiting Branched-Chain Amino Acid Biosynthesis

Part of the book series: Chemistry of Plant Protection ((PLANT PROTECTIO,volume 10))

Abstract

Two mechanisms by which plants are resistant to triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilide herbicides are alterations in ALS target site sensitivity and metabolic detoxification. Examples of the latter include O-dealkylation and triazolopyrimidine ring cleavage in soybeans, alkyl oxidation in wheat and soybeans, and glucose conjugation in wheat. Differential rates of metabolism through common and species-specific pathways result in differential sensitivity at the whole plant level. Modifications in ALS can also impart tolerance. Evaluation of sulfonylurea and imidazolinone resistant weeds for sensitivity to triazolopyrimidines suggests greater likelihood of cross-resistance from sulfonylureas. A rapid method to identify target-site based resistance is described.
