Le Duy i TÓM TẮT Đề tài được thực hiện nhằm nghiên cứu về tính kháng thuốc cỏ của cỏ lồng vực (Echinochloa spp.) trên ruộng lúa, 78 mẫu hạt cỏ lồng vực đã được sưu tập từ 7 tỉnh ở Đồng bằng sông Cửu Long (ĐBSCL). Các nghiên cứu trong luận án tìm thấy các quần thể cỏ lồng vực kháng thuốc cỏ thuộc nhóm ALS (bispyribac và penoxsulam) và nhóm thuốc cỏ auxin tổng hợp (quinclorac), giá trị LD90 trung bình của bispyribac, penoxsulam và quinclorac lần lượt là 33,1; 15,1 và 550,2 g/ha. Kết quả thử nghiệm của thuốc trừ cỏ rinskor trên các quần thể cỏ lồng vực kháng thuốc cho thấy các quần thể kháng thuốc trên đều mẫn cảm với rinskor. Kết quả phân tích kiểu hình cỏ lồng vực trong luận văn cho thấy có 3 nhóm cỏ chính tương ứng với 3 loài cỏ lồng vực tại ĐBSCL là Echinochloa crus-galli, Echinochloa oryzoides và Echinochloa erecta, trong đó cỏ lồng vực nước (Echinochloa crus-galli) là loài phổ biến nhất. Nhằm làm rõ hơn về đa dạng di truyền trong quần thể cỏ, phương pháp Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) đã được dùng để phân tích di truyền của 13 quần thể tại Việt Nam và 2 quần thể cỏ tại Mỹ. Kết quả cho thấy 6 đoạn mồi oligonucleotide cho kết quả 46 băng đa hình trong 15 quần thể, khoảng cách di truyền của các quần thể trong cây phả hệ là 0,09 đến 0,39. Kết quả của phân tích di truyền bằng phương pháp RAPD giúp khẳng định mức độ đa dạng di truyền cao trong quần thể cỏ lồng vực tại ĐBSCL, nhiều loài bị nhầm lẫn với nhau do rất giống nhau về kiểu hình. Nhằm làm rõ cơ chế kháng thuốc quinclorac của cỏ lồng vực nước (Echinochloa crus-galli), nghiên cứu đã tập trung tìm hiểu mức độ phiên mã của gen và mức độ hoạt động của enzym β-cyanoalanine synthase (CAS) trong lá của 5 quần thể cỏ và lúa sau khi xử lý thuốc. Kết quả cho thấy ở thời điểm 1 giờ sau khi phun quinclorac, các quần thể kháng thuốc (R) có thể đẩy nhanh quá trình phiên mã và chuyển hóa thành enzyme CAS, tốc độ của quá trình này nhanh hơn so với các quần thể mẫn cảm (S). Ở thời điểm 3 ngày sau xử lý , mức độ phiên mã của gene CAS trong các quần thể R giảm về mức khác biệt không có ý nghĩa so với đối chứng, tuy nhiên mức độ hoạt động của enzyme CAS vẫn ở mức cao so với đối chứng và quần thể S. Từ khóa: cỏ lồng vực, cyanoalanide synthase, kháng thuốc cỏ, RAPD, ii SUMMARY The aim of this dissersation was to study the herbicide resistance of the barnyardgrass (Echinochloa spp.) in 7 provinces of the Mekong Delta of Vietnam, seventy-eight seed samples of Echinochloa spp. collected from rice field for the study. The results found the ALS-resistant and synthetic auxin-resistant E. crus-galli were confirmed at several locations in the Mekong Delta. The average LD90 value of bispyribac, penoxsulam and quinclorac for assessed weed populations was 33.1, 15.1 and 550.2 g a.i/ha respectively. The new herbicide rinskor was tested in weed populations exhibited resistance to current herbicides, results showed that the Echinochloa populations resistant to bispyribac, penoxsulam and quinclorac were susceptible to the rinskor under greenhouse test. The morphology analysis indicated there are 3 main groups that corresponding to 3 species of Echinochloa crus-galli, Echinochloa oryzoides and Echinochloa erecta found in Mekong Delta, the Echinochloa crus-galli was the most popular species identified in the study, to extend the study, we used random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis and greenhouse testing to study the genetic diversity of 15 Echinochloa populations in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam, and the state of Arkansas, U.S. Six oligonucleotide primers produced 46 bands were polymorphic among the 15 populations. The cluster analysis separated the 15 populations into 2 main clusters with the genetic distances within the clusters ranging from 0.09 to 0.39. The results of RAPD are useful to confirm the high diversity of Echinochloa spp. populations in Mekong Delta of Vietnam, many Echinochloa species with similar morphology could be confused with the others. To focus on the mechanism of quinclorac resistance in barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli), the research have investigated the transcript and activity of enzyme β-cyanoalanine synthase (CAS) in leaf tissue of 5 barnyardgrass populations and rice. One hour post quinclorac treatment, R populations were able to rapidly utilize CAS transcript to possibly fuel increased CAS protein activity, this process is significantly higher than the process in S populations. Three days following quinclorac treatment, the utilization effect on CAS transcript levels had ceased, however, CAS protein activity remained higher in every population compared to non-treated controls and S populations.

Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction xiii CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Problem statement According to Moody (1988) weed competition in flooded rice fields might decrease grain yield by 25%. In several cases, uncontrolled weeds on dry directseeded rice could impact up to 50% yield loss on rice (Chauhan, 2012). To date, approximately 388 biotypes of 210 species that showed resistance to herbicides had been documented (Caseley et al. 2013). Among key weeds in the field, the barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) had been considered as the most notorious for a long time, as a C4 plant, the growth rate of barnyardgrass is far dominant to rice (Caton et al. 2004). In addition, Echinochloa crus-galli and Echinochloa colona can mimic the rice appearance at the early stage of weed seedlings, the similarity in plant appearance make it hard to control by hand weeding (Chauhan, 2012). Herbicides still play an important role as the most effective method in weed management on rice fields, however, herbicide resistance is an certain issue. From 1994 to 2014, the number of herbicide resistance cases on rice culture is 32 species in 25 countries and 8 Mode of Action (MoA) groups. Among 127 reports over the world, 43 instances were reported on barnyardgrass (Echinochloa spp.), in which, 12 out of 43 cases resisted to group B (Acetolactate synthase inhibitors) and 7 out of 43 cases resisted to group O (Synthetic auxins). These reports also included one case that resisted to both MoA groups (Heap, 2014). The barnyardgrass could evolve resistance to several current herbicide active ingredients, especially to two groups of B and O. In this situation, further research about herbicide resistance in barnyardgrass is critical. In recent years, there are many methods to study herbicide resistance including bioassay with screening and DNA analysis, such as Rapid Whole-Plant Assay for PostApplied Herbicides, Seed Germination Assays, Agar-Based Seedling Assays, Leaf Disc Assays, Pollen Germination Test, DNA-Based Assays (Burgos et al., 2013). Today herbicide testing methods exhibit particular advantages and disadvantages. For multiple study purposes, a single or combination of several methods could be utilized. Based on targets of research, Rapid Whole-Plant Assay for POST-Applied Herbicides and Seed Germination Assays would be suitable to identify the herbicide resistance level of weed, and DNA-Based Assays would be appropriate to detect the resistant gene in weed biotypes. As 1 an outcome, the dissertation of “Study on the resistance mechanism of barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) to quinclorac in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam” was proposed. 1.2 Targets of dissertation Evaluate the morphological variability and genetic diversity of Echinochloa spp. populations in Mekong Delta of Vietnam. Evaluate the herbicide-resistance level of Echinochloa spp. to bispyribac, penoxsulam and quinclorac in rice fields at the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. Explain the biochemical mechanism and the molecular mechanism of quinclorac-resistance in Echinochloa crus-galli. 1.3 Studied objectives and limitation of the dissertation This study is limited to rice fields in the 7 provinces of Mekong Delta of Vietnam (Long An, Tien Giang, Vinh Long, Can Tho, An Giang, Hau Giang and Kien Giang). The targeted weed in the study is Echinochloa spp., the weed was examined for herbicide-resistance evaluation and mapping purpose. The Echinochloa crus-galli is main species studied for quinclorac-resistance mechanisms at the biochemical and molecular level. 1.4 Major research topics of the dissertation (1) Survey the rice cultivation and weed management practice in rice fields at the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. (2) Evaluate the diversity of Echinochloa spp. population in rice fields at the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. (3) Evaluate the herbicide-resistance level of the collected Echinochloa spp. samples to bispyribac-sodium, penoxsulam and quinclorac by doseresponse screening method. (4) Evaluate the efficacy of rinskor, a new herbicide against the herbicideresistant Echinochloa crus-galli to find new effective herbicide for current herbicide-resistant barnyardgrass. (5) Use RAPD analysis to evaluate the genetic diversity of Echinochloa crus-galli populations, and the correspondence of quinclorac-resistance and genetic distance of Echinochloa crus-galli populations in the Mekong delta (6) Measure the activity of β-cyanoalanine synthase in the leaf tissue of Echinochloa crus-galli to study the biochemical mechanism of quincloracresistance in barnyardgrass. 2 (7) Measure the expression level of mRNA of CAS gene in barnyardgrass to study the molecular mechanism of quinclorac-resistance in barnyardgrass. 1.5 Contributions of dissertation This research presents useful information about the diversity of Echinochloa spp. in the rice field of Mekong Delta of Vietnam (Mekong Delta), which will be important for further study about this weed species. The most important result of this study is data about the herbicideresistance of Echinochloa spp., the research has confirmed the existence of herbicide-resistant Echinochloa spp. populations in Mekong Delta. This research also evaluates the relationship between farmers’ weed management practice and the herbicide-resistance, therefore, the practical solutions for herbicide-resistant weed were also determined and suggested in the dissertation. The mechanisms of quinclorac-resistance in barnyardgrass were confirmed and elucidated at enzyme and molecular level, through the measurement of quinclorac detoxifying enzyme activity and its gene expression level in barnyardgrass. The results establish important information for the further study about the mechanism of the herbicide-resistance in weeds. 3 CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Overview of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam and rice cultivation Vietnam is one of the top rice exporters globally. In 2015, about 45 million tons of rice was produced in Vietnam, of which 22.4% was exported, and the remaining was for domestic consumption (USDA, 2017). For several years, rice is one of the most important crops in Vietnam with approximate 7.6 million hectares cultivated in the country (General statistics office of Vietnam, 2017). Moreover, about 55% of rice in the country was grown in the Mekong Delta, and the average yield of this region was 5.96 ton/ha (General statistics office of Vietnam, 2017) which was 38% higher than the global average yield (FAOSTAT, 2017). Mekong Delta, Vietnam is an area of 40,577 km2. This is the most downstream part of the Mekong River, the total population is over 17 million with 3.96 million hectares for agriculture activities (Le Anh Tuan et al., 2007). Mekong Delta produces more than 50% of cereal food for all of Vietnam. Rice exportation from this area is one of the most important income for the country, 54% of rice in the Delta was cultivated during the Summer-Autumn season (May to August); resulted in the highest yield harvested during Winter-Spring season (January to April), which could be 20.5% higher than average of the year (Nguyễn Hoàng Dân et al., 2015). Average field size per household in the Mekong Delta is 1.29 ha, higher than average size in the country which is 0.44 ha. Although the area of rice growing has reduced since 1980, the rice farming system now changes to an intensification model, in 2010 there was 530,000 ha growing rice in triple crops per year compared to 23,000 ha in 1980 (Nguyễn Đức Thành và Đinh Tuấn Minh, 2015). The average cost of pesticide per season in this area was 17-20% (Hồ Cao Việt, 2011). The Mekong Delta natural condition is divided by 12 soil types (Fig 2.1), and their distribution influences the local agricultural activities and rice production (Minh, 2002). 80% of the total surface water used for rice growing areas, the intensive rice growing areas are located in upstream and midstream provinces (Dang Kieu Nhan et al., 2007). In recent year, water shortage and the saline water intrusion are one of the major threats for rice cultivation in Mekong Delta. Saline water could intrude far into the irrigation system of many provinces in the dry season of 2016, 4 majority areas of Vam Co River (about 90 km away from the sea) were impacted by the intrusion (Lê Anh Tuấn, 2016). Figure 2.1 Soil distribution map of Mekong Delta (Minh, 2002) 2.2 Definitions of weed and herbicide resistance There are many definitions for weed, and one of the well-known definitions is “The plant growing where it is not wanted” (Blatchley, 1912; Zimdahl, 2013). The most troublesome aspect of weeds is crop competition, but sometimes some weed species are also prone to cause strong allergies (e.g. hay allergies) and skin dermatitis in sensitive individuals (Molinar, 2002). Weeds are considered as one of the most costly factors in controlling and limiting crop production globally as yield losses caused by weeds mainly come from direct competition with crop plants for water, nutrients, light, and space (Rosskopf et al., 1999). The peculiar biological traits of weeds, including seed dormancy, germination, and emergence over long periods of time, long-term survival of buried seeds, abundant seed production, rapid population establishment, capacity to colonize new sites, and multiple adaptations for 5 spread, can provide weeds evolutionary advantages over cultural plants and crops (Molinar, 2002). In most cropping systems, weeds can significantly reduce crop yields, plant for animal feeding and also fiber quality (Rosskopf et al., 1999). Besides the direct impacts, weeds can also serve as alternate hosts to insect pests and pathogens in the field, in consequences lead to higher operating costs and increased risk of diseases (Wisler and Norris, 2005). There are several reports about the Echinochloa crus-galli serves as host for virus transmitting brown plant hoppers in the rice field at the end of the rice season (Hattori, 2001) and Zhou et al. (2008). Weed control is an important practice for any intensive cropping system. There are several methods for weed management in the field including mechanical based weeding (weeding by hand, tool, machine or laser transmitter to burn the plant), chemical based (herbicide), crop competition model (allelopathy), and biological control (parasite insect, fungi, grazing cattle or other herbivores). For crop production in large scale, the chemical based method is still the most reliable and cost-effective solution for weed management (Harker and O’Donovan, 2013). Several bio-herbicides like pathogen or plant extractions are also studied, but the effect is still limited in large scale application (Van-Driesche and Bellows, 1996). After the herbicide introduced in the market, the evolution of the herbicide-resistance in weeds had already been predicted by Blackman (1950). The first case of atrazine and simazine resistance Senecio vulgaris was found in 1968 and first reported in the USA in 1970, this type of weeds had evolved resistance to herbicides inhibiting the electron transport in photosystem II (PSIIinhibitors) after the herbicides had been applied once or twice annually for 10 years (Ryan, 1970), the herbicide-resistance report was continued by Radosevich and Appleby (1973) for Amaranthus retroflexus L. The definition of the herbicide-resistance has been mentioned by several authors, according to Heap et al. (1993), the herbicide-resistance is “the evolved capacity for a previously herbicide-susceptible weed population to withstand a herbicide and complete its life cycle when the herbicide is used at its normal rate in an agricultural situation”. The Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC, 2017) defines herbicide resistance as “the naturally occurring inheritable ability of some weed biotypes within a given weed population to survive a herbicide treatment that 6
