Acetolactate Synthase Activity Inhibition and Herbicidal Activity of Sulfonylurea and Imidazolinone Herbicides

Sulfonylurea 및 imidazolinone계 제초제(除草劑)의 살초작용(殺草作用)과 acetolactate synthase 활성(活性) 억제작용(抑制作用)

Acetolactate synthase activity inhibition and herbicidal activities were investigated with 2 sulfonylureas [chlorsulfuron{2-chloro-N-{{(4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl) amino} carboxyl} benzenesulfonamide}, metsulfuron-methyl{methyl-2{{{{(4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amino}carbonyl}amino}sulfonyl}benzoic acid}, and 2 imidazoli-nones [imazethapyr{2-{4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1-methyl)-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl}-5-ethyl-3-pyridinecarboxylicacid}, imazaquin{2-{4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1-methyl)-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl}-3-quinoline carboxylic acid} herbicides. A broad weeding spectrum was observed with the treated herbicides at low application rates. Both corn(Zea mays L.) and sorghum(Sorghum bicolor Moench) were very sensitive to the two herbicide groups. Although legumes, such as soybean(Glycine max Merr.), clover(Trifolium repense L.), and indian jointvetch(Aeschnomene indica L.) were sensitive to the sulfonylureas, they were tolerant to the imidazolinones. On the contrary, wheat(Triticum aestivum L.) and barley(Hoderum sativum Jess.) showed the reverse responses of the legumes to the two herbicide groups. Quackgrass(Agropyron repens(L.) P. Beauv.). however, was commonly tolerant to the two herbicide groups. Degrees of crop injury and acetolactate synthase inhibition also varied with the crops examined. The 50% inhibition concentrations of sulfonylureas on acetolactate synthase in vitro activity($IC_{50}$) from corn, wheat, and soybean did not relate to the greenhouse herbicidal activities ($GI_{50}$). With chlorsulfuron, for example, wheat had more than 100 times higher $GI_{50}$ than corn and soybean, but the $IC_{50}$ was 4 to 10 times lower. Similar observation was made with metsulfuron-methyl. However, closer relationships between $IC_{50}$ and $GI_{50}$ were found with the imidazolinones. When imazethapyr was applied, the order of $GI_{50}$ values against com, wheat, and soybean was the same as that of $IC_{50}$.

분지 아미노산 생합성 효소인 ALS의 활성(活性)을 억제하는 sulfonylurea계 2약제 및 imidazolinone계 2약제를 대상으로 32초종에 대한 약제별 살초(殺草) 반응성 및 옥수수, 밀, 콩의 ALS 활성(活性) 억제 반응성을 통하여 ALS 활성(活性) 억제작용(抑制作用)과 살초작용(殺草作用)의 관계를 조사하였다. 1. Sulfonylurea계의 2가지 제초제(除草劑)들의 살초(殺草)스펙트럼은 적은 처리량에서도 매우 넓었으며, 내성(耐性)을 보였던 식물은 발아전 토양처리에서 밀, 보리, 개밀, 메귀리 등이었고, 발아 후 경엽처리에서 밀, 보리, 까마중, 왕바랭이, 개밀, 미국개가장, 메귀리 등이었다. 2. Imidazolinone계 2종의 제초제(除草劑)들에 대하여 내성(耐性)을 보였던 식물은 발아 전 처리에서 콩, 자귀풀, 도깨비바늘, 메귀리, 개밀 등이었고, 발아후 처리에서 콩, 자귀풀, 크로바 등으로 두과식물이었다. 3. Sulfonylurea 및 imidazolinone계 제초제(除草劑)들에 대하여 공통적으로 감수성(感受性)인 식물은 옥수수와 수수, sulfonylurea계에 감수성(感受性)을 보이면서 imidazolinone계에 내성(耐性)을 보였던 식물은 콩, 크로바, 자귀풀 등 두과식물이었다. 이와 대조적으로 sulfonylurea계에 내성(耐性)을 보이면서 imidazolinone계에 감수성(感受性)을 보였던 식물은 밀과 보리, 공통적으로 내성(耐性)을 보였던 식물은 개밀등 이었다. 4. Sulfonylurea계 약제에 대하여 온실 실험에 서 얻은 초종별 $GI_{50}$ 값과 각 초종으로부터 추출한 ALS 활성(活性) 억제 $IC_{50}$ 값은 경향이 일치하지 않았다. 5. Imidazolinone계 약제에 대하여 온실 실험에서 얻은 초종별 $GI_{50}$ 값과 각 초종으로부터 추출한 ALS 활성(活性) 억제 $IC_{50}$ 값은 경향이 유사(類似)하였다.
