Molecular basis of resistance to clodinafoppropargyl, an acetyl-coa carboxylase inhibiting herbicide, in green algae Scenedesmus quadricauda [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

Mutations in chloroplastic acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) gene enables molecular tools such as allele-specific PCR assay to monitor resistance elleles in green algae (Chlorophyta) 5cenedesmus quadricauda. An isoleucine-leucine substitution in the gene encoding chloroplast (ACCase) conferred resistance to ciodinafop-propargyl herbicide. Green algae cultures were treated with different concentrations of this herbicide (0, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 112, 1 and double of field concentration). The free amino acid content and cell number were determined after 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hrs.
