Whole transcriptome analysis resulted in the identification of Chinese sprangletop (Leptochloa chinensis) genes involved in cyhalofop-butyl tolerance.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chinese sprangletop [Leptochloa chinensis (L.) Nees] is an annual malignant weed, which can often be found in paddy fields. Cyhalofop-butyl is a specialized herbicide which is utilized to control L. chinensis. However, in many areas, L. chinensis has become tolerant to this key herbicide due to its continuous long-term use.

Results

In this study, we utilized a tolerant (LC18002) and a sensitive (LC17041) L. chinensis populations previously identified in our laboratory, which were divided into four different groups. We then employed whole transcriptome analysis to identify candidate genes which may be involved in cyhalofop-butyl tolerance. This analysis resulted in the identification of six possible candidate genes, including three cytochrome P450 genes and three A
