    Abstract:
    Clearfield® wheat (Triticum aestivum) have helped eliminate the toughest grasses and broadleaf weeds in Spain since 2005. This crop production system includes other tolerant cultivars to the application of imidazolinone (IMI) herbicides. However, the continuous use and off-label rates of IMI herbicides can contribute to the development of resistance in Lolium rigidum and other weed species. In this research, the main objectives were to study the resistance mechanisms to acetolactate synthase (ALS) and acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors in a L. rigidum accession (LrR) from a Clearfield® wheat field, with a long history rotating these IMI-tolerant crops and compare them with those present in the IMI-tolerant wheat. The resistance to ACCase inhibitors in LrR was due to point mutations (Ile1781Leu plus Asp2078Gly) of the target site gene plus an enhanced herbicide metabolism (EHM), on the other hand, in wheat accessions was due only by EHM. Mechanisms involved in the resistance to ALS inhibitors were both point mutations of the target gene and EHM in the IMI-tolerant wheat, while only evidence of mutation (Trp574Leu) was found in the multiple herbicide resistant L. rigidum accession. This research demonstrates that if crop rotation is not accompanied by the use of alternative sites of action in herbicide-tolerant crops, resistant weeds to herbicide to which crops are tolerant, can easily be selected. Moreover, repeated and inappropriate use of Clearfield® crops and herbicide rotations can lead to the evolution of multiple resistant weeds, as shown in this study, and have also inestimable environmental impacts.
