Background: Weeds reduce wheat yields in dryland farming systems. Herbicides such as metribuzin are commonly used to control weeds. However, wheat has a narrow safety margin against metribuzin. Standing crops such as wheat with weeds in the same field can also be killed by the same dose of metribuzin. Therefore, it is important to identify metribuzin resistance genes and understand the resistance mechanism in wheat for sustainable crop production. A previous study identified a significant metribuzin resistance wheat QTL, Qsns.uwa.4 A.2, explaining 69% of the phenotypic variance for metribuzin resistance.
Results: Two NIL pairs with the most contrasting performance in the metribuzin treatment and different in genetic backgrounds were compared using RNA sequence analysis, identifying nine candidate genes underlying Qsns.uwa.4 A.2 responsible for metribuzin resistance. Quantitative RT-qPCR further validated the candidate genes, with TraesCS4A03G1099000 (nitrate excretion transporter), TraesCS4A03G1181300 (aspartyl protease), and TraesCS4A03G0741300 (glycine-rich proteins) identified as key factors for metribuzin resistance.
Conclusion: Identified markers and key candidate genes can be used for selecting metribuzin resistance in wheat.

In South Asia, declining water tables due to increased irrigation and labor shortages for manual weeding pose significant challenges for wheat production. Additionally, herbicide resistance, often resulting from poor management practices, further complicates weed problems. The objective of this study was to assess the impacts of traditional irrigation regimens (IRs) and herbicide application on wheat crops.

Our study investigated the effects of terbuthylazine (TBA) and metribuzin (MT) on rice and radish at field application concentrations. Both herbicides induced oxidative stress and severely inhibited growth in the two crops. However, the radish cultivar T-33 exhibited significantly lower stress levels compared to the sensitive cultivar S-24, suggesting its higher tolerance to TBA and MT.

The chloroplast genome has considerable potential to enhance crop productivity, but it remains underutilized in breeding because it is difficult to modify. This study elucidates the potential of recently developed chloroplast-targeted C-to-T base editors in facilitating the use of the chloroplast genome for crop breeding. The herbicide metribuzin interferes with photosynthesis by binding to the D1 protein of photosystem II, encoded by the chloroplast genome.

Article Synopsis
- - Weeds significantly hinder lentil farming by lowering yields and increasing costs, making the development of herbicide-resistant lentil varieties crucial for improving farmer profits.
- - A study evaluated 292 lentil accessions with two herbicides in Morocco and Lebanon, revealing significant variations in traits like flowering time, plant height, and seed yield.
- - Using advanced techniques like marker-assisted selection (MAS) and a Multispecies Pulse SNP chip, researchers identified 125 SNP markers linked to various traits, which can help in breeding more herbicide-tolerant lentil cultivars.
