Abstract.
The aim of the greenhouse experiments was to study the mechanism of cross- and multiple resistance of A. spica-venti to inhibitors of acetolactate synthesis (ALS). To determine the
type of resistance to sulfonylurea herbicides, green mass of over ground parts of A. spica-venti plants was collected and examined.
Of 3 tested weed biotypes characterized by cross resistance to sulfonylurea herbicides, 2 biotypes (R2 and R3) showed ALS gene point mutation at position Pro-197 conferring ALS targetsite-resistance. Within the group of 3 biotypes showing multiple resistance to ALS and acetylCoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors the biotypes R4 and R6 with specifi c gene point mutation at position Pro-197 were also detected. The sulfometuron showed to be a useful tool to study weed resistance to sulfonylurea herbicides.
