INTRODUCTION BRISTLY FOXTAIL
Bristly Foxtail (Setaria verticillata) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family.  In Spain this weed first evolved resistance to Group 5 (Legacy C1 C2) herbicides in 1992 and infests Corn (maize).   Group 5 (Legacy C1 C2) herbicides are known as PSII inhibitors - Serine 264 Binders (Inhbition of Photosynthesis at PSll - Serine 264 Binders ).  Research has shown that these particular biotypes are resistant to atrazine and they may be cross-resistant to other Group 5 (Legacy C1 C2) herbicides.

The 'Group' letters/numbers that you see throughout this web site refer to the classification of herbicides by their site of action. To see a full list of herbicides and HRAC herbicide classifications click here.

NOTES ABOUT THIS BIOTYPE

GENERAL

MECHANISM

Rafael De Prado
Growth chamber experiments revealed that atrazine-resistant S.verticillata plants developed from seed collected from both atrazine-treated and non-treated maize fields in the province of Cordoba, whereas atrazine-resistant S. faberi biotypes only developed in the treated fields. The resistance to atrazine of S. verticillata from both situations was apparently due to detoxification by conjugation of the herbicide with glutathione. The atrazine-resistant S. faberi biotype could be explained by a dual mechanism: (i) a lower affinity of the herbicide for the target site in the D1 protein, and (ii) by conjugation. Although the non-treated biotype of S. faberi conjugated glutathione to atrazine, it did so less efficiently than the corresponding resistant biotype.

ACADEMIC ASPECTS

Confirmation Tests

Greenhouse trials comparing a known susceptible Bristly Foxtail biotype with this Bristly Foxtail biotype have been used to confirm resistance. For further information on the tests conducted please contact the local weed scientists that provided this information.
 
Genetics

Genetic studies on HRAC Group 5 resistant Bristly Foxtail have not been reported to the site.  There may be a note below or an article discussing the genetics of this biotype in the Fact Sheets and Other Literature
 
Mechanism of Resistance

Studies on the mechanism of resistance of Group 5 (Legacy C1 C2) resistant Bristly Foxtail from Spain indicate that resistance is due to conjugation.  There may be a note below or an article discussing the mechanism of resistance in the Fact Sheets and Other Literature
 
Relative Fitness

There is no record of differences in fitness or competitiveness of these resistant biotypes when compared to that of normal susceptible biotypes.  If you have any information pertaining to the fitness of Group 5 (Legacy C1 C2) resistant Bristly Foxtail from Spain please update the database.
