The occurrence of multiple herbicide resistant weeds has increased considerably in glyphosate-resistant soybean fields Brazil; however, the mechanisms governing this resistance have not been studied. In its study, target-site and nontarget-site were characterized an Eleusine indica population (R-15) with to acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors, glyphosate, imazamox, paraquat. Absorption t...

De novo fatty acid biosynthesis occurs predominantly in plastids. The committed step for this pathway is the production of malonyl-CoA catalysed by acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase). In most plants, plastidial ACCase is a multisubunit complex minimally comprised of four polypeptides, which catalyse two reactions. In the simple oilseed plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, two cDNAs encoding biotin carboxy...

Embryo-specific overexpression of biotin carboxyl carrier protein 2 (BCCP2) inhibited plastid acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase), resulting in altered oil, protein, and carbohydrate composition in mature Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seed. To characterize gene and protein regulatory consequences of this mutation, global microarray, two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis, iTRAQ,...

This paper reports the first C. radiata population with resistance to glyphosate and multiple acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor, imazamox. Two populations, one putative resistant (R) susceptible (S), were used in studies. Dose–response experiments performed evaluate factor (RF). Shikimic acid accumulation, 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSPS) ALS enzyme activities studied together che...

Acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase, EC 6.4.1.2) catalyzes the synthesis of malonyl-coenzyme A, which is utilized in the plastid for de novo fatty acid synthesis and outside the plastid for a variety of reactions, including the synthesis of very long chain fatty acids and flavonoids. Recent evidence for both multifunctional and multisubunit ACCase isozymes in dicot plants has been obtained. W...
