2 4-D

A novel mutation in SoIAA20 confers cross-resistance to 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and other auxinic herbicides in Sonchus oleraceus

The paired deletion flanking the degron region of SoIAA20 likely provides resistance to 2,4-D by restricting the movement of 2,4-D from the treated tissue to the rest of the plant.

Characterisation of low-level pyrasulfotole resistance and the role of herbicide translocation in wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum)

Previous studies have shown a wide range of 2,4-D translocation phenotypes in resistant populations of the agricultural weed Raphanus raphanistrum, but it was hypothesised that enhanced movement out of the apical meristem could contribute to resistance.

Exploring chemical control of 2,4-D-resistant wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum) with auxin-related compounds

Dr Danica Goggin

The aim of this study was to determine if compounds involved in auxin biosynthesis, transport and signalling are able to synergise with 2,4-D and increase its ability to control 2,4-D-resistant R. raphanistrum populations.

Aldo-keto reductase may contribute to glyphosate resistance in Lolium rigidum

Dr Qin Yu and Dr Heping Han

We have previously demonstrated that an aldo-keto reductase (AKR) from Echinochloa colona (EcAKR4-1) can metabolize glyphosate and confers glyphosate resistance. This study aims to investigate if the EcAKR4-1 orthologs from Lolium rigidum also play a role in glyphosate resistance in non-target-site based, glyphosate-resistant (R) L. rigidum populations from Western Australia.

2,4-D antagonizes glyphosate-resistant barnyard grass Echinochloa colona

Glyphosate is often tank-mixed with auxinic herbicide 2,4-D for grass and broadleaf weed control. In this paper, the authors examined the possible interaction of 2,4-D and glyphosate in barnyard grass, Echinochloa colona. The results showed that 2,4-D antagonizes glyphosate remarkably in glyphosate resistant populations but only marginally in susceptible populations. This antagonism is related to reduced glyphosate uptake and (to a lesser extent) translocation. As 2,4-D has multiple, unpredictable effects on other herbicides, care must be taken when tank-mixing herbicides with 2,4-D.

No auxinic herbicide–resistance cost in wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum)

Resistance to the auxinic herbicides 2,4-D and dicamba is widespread in Western Australian R. raphanistrum populations, with the resistance mechanism appearing to involve alterations in the physiological response to synthetic auxins and in plant defense. This study aimed to determine whether these alterations cause inhibition in plant growth or reproduction that could potentially be exploited to manage 2,4-D–resistant populations in cropping areas.

Identity and Activity of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid Metabolites in Wild Radish (Raphanus raphanistrum)

Synthetic auxin herbicides, such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), are widely used for selective control of broadleaf weeds in cereals and transgenic crops.

2,4-D and dicamba resistance mechanisms in wild radish: subtle, complex and population specific?

An overall finding of this study of auxinic herbicide resistance, at least in Raphanus R populations, is that conclusions on mechanisms cannot be made from studying just a few R populations. There are very clear differences between and within resistant populations. This research is ongoing in an attempt to reveal the important mechanisms that can endow resistance to 2,4-D and dicamba in plants.

Inheritance of 2,4-D resistance traits in multiple herbicide-resistant Raphanus raphanistrum populations

Wild radish in flower

Arelatively low number of weed species have evolved resistance to auxinic herbicides despite their use for almost 70 years. This inheritance study with two Raphanus raphanistrum populations multiple-resistant 2,4-D and the ALS-inhibiting herbicide chlorsulfuron determined the number of genes and genetic dominance of 2,4-D resistance and investigated the association between traits conferring resistance to the two herbicide modes of action. Levels of 2,4-D phenotypic resistance and resistance segregation patterns were assessed in parental populations, F1 and F2 families.

Recurrent selection with reduced 2,4-D amine doses results in the rapid evolution of 2,4-D herbicide resistance in wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum L.)

When used at effective doses, weed resistance to auxinic herbicides has been slow to evolve when compared with other modes of action. Here we report the evolutionary response of a herbicide-susceptible population of wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum L.) and confirm that sublethal doses of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) amine can lead to the rapid evolution of 2,4-D resistance and cross-resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides.
