Abstract
SummaryPrevious research unveiled that the overexpression of catalytically promiscuous CYP81A cytochrome P450s underlies the multiple-herbicide resistance (MHR) in a Californian population of Echinochloa phyllopogon. However, it does not fully accommodate the resistance to diverse herbicides in MHR E. phyllopogon although the genetic inheritance of MHR was suggested as under a single gene control.We investigated the high-level resistance to diclofop-methyl in MHR E. phyllopogon. Detailed diclofop-methyl metabolism was analyzed, followed by gene expression study and functional characterization of P450 genes. The generality of the MHR mechanism was investigated using another MHR line.The MHR line rapidly produced two distinct hydroxylated-diclofop-acid, only one of which was the major metabolite produced by CYP81A12/21. Gene expression study identified the genetically linked overexpression of a novel gene CYP709C69 with CYP81A12/21 in the MHR line. The gene conferred diclofop-methyl resistance in plants and produced another hydroxylated-diclofop-acid in yeast. The activity was observed in some CYP709C in plants. Unlike the broad substrate-specificity in CYP81As, CYP709C69 showed narrow substrate-specificity. The overexpression of the CYP81A and CYP709C69 was also observed in another MHR line.The present findings establish a novel concept that genetically-linked simultaneous overexpression of herbicide-metabolizing genes enhances and broadens the profile of metabolic resistance in weeds.
