Herbicide resistance in weeds can be conferred by target-site and/or non-target-site mechanisms, such as rapid metabolic detoxification. Resistance to the very-long-chain fatty acid-inhibiting herbicide, S-metolachlor, in multiple herbicide-resistant populations (CHR and SIR) of waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus) is conferred by rapid metabolism compared with sensitive populations. However, enzymatic pathways for S-metolachlor metabolism in waterhemp are unknown. Enzyme assays using S-metolachlor were developed to determine the specific activities of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) from CHR and SIR seedlings to compare with tolerant corn and sensitive waterhemp (WUS). GST activities were greater (∼2-fold) in CHR and SIR compared to WUS but much less than corn. In contrast, P450s in microsomal extracts from CHR and SIR formed O-demethylated S-metolachlor, and their NADPH-dependent specific activities were greater (>20-fold) than corn or WUS. Metabolite profiles of S-metolachlor generated via untargeted and targeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry from CHR and SIR differed from WUS, with greater relative abundances of O-demethylated S-metolachlor and O-demethylated S-metolachlor-glutathione conjugates formed by CHR and SIR. In summary, our results demonstrate that S-metolachlor metabolism in resistant waterhemp involves Phase I and Phase II metabolic activities acting in concert, but the initial O-demethylation reaction confers resistance.
杂草的除草剂抗性可以通过靶标和/或非靶标机制赋予,例如快速代谢解毒。与敏感种群相比,水花生(Amaranthus tuberculatus)的多个除草剂抗性种群(CHR 和 SIR)中对非常长链脂肪酸抑制型除草剂 S-甲草氯的抗性是通过快速代谢赋予的。然而,水花生中 S-甲草氯代谢的酶途径尚不清楚。使用 S-甲草氯开发了酶测定法,以确定 CHR 和 SIR 幼苗中谷胱甘肽 S-转移酶(GSTs)和细胞色素 P450 单加氧酶(P450s)的比活性,以与耐受玉米和敏感水花生(WUS)进行比较。与 WUS 相比,CHR 和 SIR 的 GST 活性更高(约 2 倍),但远低于玉米。相比之下,CHR 和 SIR 中微粒体提取物中的 P450s 形成 O-脱甲基 S-甲草氯,其 NADPH 依赖性比活性大于玉米或 WUS(>20 倍)。通过 CHR 和 SIR 进行的非靶向和靶向液相色谱-质谱分析生成的 S-甲草氯代谢产物与 WUS 不同,其中 O-脱甲基 S-甲草氯和由 CHR 和 SIR 形成的 O-脱甲基 S-甲草氯-谷胱甘肽缀合物的相对丰度更高。总之,我们的结果表明,抗性水花生中 S-甲草氯的代谢涉及协同作用的 I 相和 II 相代谢活性,但最初的 O-脱甲基反应赋予了抗性。
