RESUMO
Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv.), one of the worst weeds in paddy fields in China, has been frequently reported evolving resistance to acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibiting herbicides. However, in the previous research, more attention was paid to target-site resistance (TSR) mechanisms, the non-target-site resistance (NTSR) mechanisms have not been well-established. In this study, the potential mechanism of resistance in a metamifop-resistant E. crus-galli collected from Kunshan city, Jiangsu Province, China was investigated. Dose-response assays showed that the phenotypic resistant population (JS-R) has evolved 4.3-fold resistance to metamifop compared with the phenotypic susceptible population (YN-S). The ACCase CT gene sequencing and relative ACCase gene expression levels studies showed that no mutations were detected in the ACCase CT gene in both YN-S and JS-R, and there was no significant difference in the relative ACCase gene expression between YN-S and JS-R. After the pre-processing of glutathione-S-transferase (GSTs) inhibitor NBD-Cl, the resistance level of JS-R to metamifop was reversed 18.73%. Furthermore, the GSTs activity of JS-R plants was significantly enhanced compared to that of YN-S plants. UPLC-MS/MS revealed that JS-R plants had faster metabolic rates to metamifop than YN-S plants. Meanwhile, the JS-R popultion exhibited resistant to cyhalofop-butyl and penoxsulam. In summary, this study presented a novel discovery regarding the global emergence of metabolic resistance to metamifop in E. crus-galli. The low-level resistance observed in the JS-R population was not found to be related to TSR but rather appeared to be primarily associated with the overexpression of genes in the GSTs metabolic enzyme superfamily.

Based on flexible construction and broad bioactivity of ferulic acid, a series of novel α,ß-unsaturated amide derivatives bearing α-aminophosphonate moiety were designed, synthesized and systematically evaluated for their antiviral activity. Bioassay results indicated that some compounds exhibited good antiviral activities against cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in vivo. Especially, compound g18 showed excellent curative and protective activities against CMV, with half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) values of 284.67µg/mL and 216.30µg/mL, which were obviously superior to that of Ningnanmycin (352.08µg/mL and 262.53µg/mL). Preliminary structure-activity relationships (SARs) analysis revealed that the introduction of electron-withdrawing group at the 2-position or 4-position of the aromatic ring is favorable for antiviral activity. Present work provides a promising template for development of potential inhibitor of plant virus.
