Acetyl-CoA carboxylase herbicide resistance and fitness of spring milletgrass (Milium vernale) populations infesting winter cereal monoculture in Greece by Aristeidis P. PAPAPANAGIOTOU, Assewer ABICHOU, Theodore SPANOS, Ioannis LIVIERATOS, George MENEXES, Ioannis VASILAKOGLOU, Ilias G. ELEFTHEROHORINOS

“…Bieb.) populations, originating from winter cereal monoculture fields in northwestern Greece, were studied to elucidate the levels and underlying mechanisms of resistance to acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)- and acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting post-emergence herbicides. Whole-plant rate-response assays showed that the R1 and R2 populations were highly cross-resistant to aryloxyphenoxypropionate ACCase-inhibitors clodinafop-propargyl and diclofop-methyl, but they were susceptible to the cyclohexanedione ACCase-inhibitor clethodim and the ALS-inhibitors mesosulfuron-methyl + iodosulfuron methyl-sodium and pyroxsulam. …”
