Atrazine Resistance in Chenopodium album: Low and High Levels of Resistance to the Herbicide Are Related to the Same Chloroplast PSBA Gene Mutation

RESUMO
In Chenopodium album two different levels of atrazine resistance have been found according to following criteria: lethal dose and leaf fluorescence curve. The intermediate (I) phenotype is represented by a low level of resistance and a typical I fluorescence curve. It arose at high frequency, within one generation, after self-pollination of particular plants displaying a susceptible (S) phenotype. The resistance phenotype (Ri) has a high level of resistance and presents a typical resistant fluorescence curve. It appeared after self-pollination of chemically treated I plants. The I, Ri, and also R (resistant plants found in atrazine treated fields) phenotypes contain a serine to glycine mutation at amino acid position 264 in the chloroplast psbA gene product. The steady state level of the psbA gene transcript is not modified between S, I, Ri, and R phenotypes.
