In Australia, triazine herbicides have routinely controlled the Vulpia species (Vulpia bromoides, Vulpia myuros, and Vulpia fasciculata; collectively referred to as silvergrass). However, a simazine-resistant silvergrass biotype, collected from Pingelly in the Western Australian grain belt in 2014, has been confirmed. Compared to the pooled mortality of three simazine-susceptible silvergrass populations (S1, S2, and S3), the simazine-resistant Pingelly population was > 594-fold resistant at the LD50 level. Dose-response screening of the simazine-selected progeny (> 800 g ai simazine ha−1) demonstrated that the simazine resistance mechanism was heritable. Sequencing of the chloroplast psbA gene revealed the resistant population is homozygous for a serine 264 to glycine mutation, which confers a high-level triazine resistance. As expected this Ser-264-Gly mutation conferred resistance to atrazine and metribuzin, but not the phenyl-urea diuron. This is the first published report confirming field-evolved triazine resistance in a Vulpia population.

En Australia, los herbicidas triazine han controlado rutinariamente especies del género Vulpia (Vulpia bromoides, Vulpia myuros, y Vulpia fasciculata; colectivamente referidas como silvergrass). Sin embargo se ha confirmado un biotipo de silvergrass resistente a simazine, el cual fue colectado en Pingelly, en la faja de granos del Oeste de Australia, en 2014. Al compararse con la mortalidad promediada de tres poblaciones de silvergrass susceptibles a simazine (S1, S2, y S3), la población Pingelly resistente a simazine fue > 594 veces más resistente según el nivel de LD50. Una evaluación de respuesta a dosis de la progenie seleccionada con simazine (> 800 g ai simazine ha−1) demostró que el mecanismo de resistencia a simazine fue heredable. La secuenciación del gen psbA del cloroplasto reveló que la población resistente es homocigota para la mutación serine 263 a glycine, la cual confiere un alto nivel de resistencia a triazine. Como se esperaba, esta mutación Ser-264-Gly confirió resistencia a atrazine y metribuzin, pero no a diuron, un herbicida phenyl-urea. Este es el primer reporte publicado confirmando la resistencia a triazine evolucionada en campo en una población de Vulpia.
