•Three populations of American sloughgrass showed resistance to four ACCase-inhibiting herbicides belonging to FOPs, DIMs, and DENs groups.•An American sloughgrass population exhibited resistance to all FOPs, while showed much lower resistance level for sethoxydim and pinoxaden.•Resistance was associated with substitutions of Ile-1781-Leu, Ile-2041-Asn and Asp-2078-Gly of the ACCase gene in these populations.
American sloughgrass [Beckmannia syzigachne (Steud.) Fernald] is a problematic annual grass weed in winter wheat fields of China, which causes great loss of wheat yield. Repeated use of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides during the last two decades to control this weed has been selected for resistance in American sloughgrass in Jiangsu province. In this study, whole-plant dose–response assays were conducted to investigate the level of resistance in four resistant American sloughgrass populations (LY, JH, BYJ and BYP) to four ACCase-inhibiting herbicides belonging to aryloxyphenoxypropionates, cyclohexanediones, and phenylpyrazolines groups under greenhouse conditions. Based on resistance factor (RF), three populations, LY, BYJ and BYP, were highly resistant to fenoxaprop-P-ethyl, clodinafop propargyl, sethoxydim and pinoxaden. JH plants exhibited resistance to fenoxaprop-P-ethyl and clodinafop propargyl, but showed much lower RF values for sethoxydim and pinoxaden. Molecular analysis of resistance revealed that resistance in all the four populations was target site-based. Results confirmed that substitutions of Ile-1781-Leu, Ile-2041-Asn and Asp-2078-Gly, respectively, in LY, JH and BYJ/BYP, are responsible for diverse sensitivity to different ACCase-inhibiting herbicides in these populations. The substitution at position 1781 had been reported, while it is the first report of Ile-2041-Asn and Asp-2078-Gly mutations that corresponded to resistance in American sloughgrass.
