| Abstract: | The inheritance of sulfonylurea (SU) resistance in Monochoria vaginalis was investigated based on the bensulfuron‐methyl response phenotypes of F1 plants between SU‐resistant (R) and ‐susceptible (S) and segregation analysis in F2 progenies. Differences of SU resistance between SU‐R biotypes and F1 plants at the recommended field dose were also investigated by comparing shoot dry weight. All F1 plants survived the treatment with 25 g a.i. ha?1 bensulfuron‐methyl, one‐third of the recommended field dose, and showed similar responses to SU‐R plants. Conversely, all F1 plants died or showed extreme necrosis at 225 g a.i. ha?1, three times the recommended field dose, as SU‐S plants. F2 plants were classified as either R or S phenotype. Segregation for resistance to bensulfuron‐methyl in F2 families did not differ from the expected 3:1 (R:S) ratio at 25 g a.i. ha?1. At 225 g a.i. ha?1, the F2 families segregated in a 1:3 (R:S) ratio. These results suggest that SU resistance in M. vaginalis is controlled by a single nuclear allele with resistance being dominant at low dose and susceptibility dominant at high dose. Moreover, F1 plants died or were extremely injured after application of bensulfuron‐methyl at the recommended field dose, although SU‐R biotypes grew normally. |
