Herbicide Resistance in Wild Sorghum Genotype

[0085]Seeds of 83 wild sorghum populations from Bolivia were planted in a greenhouse for comparison with Tx2783, an herbicide susceptible elite sorghum genotype. Wild sorghum genotypes were planted in flats containing MetroMix 360 potting soil (Sun Gro) and greenhouse grown. Tx2783 was planted with the wild accessions in each flat for comparison. In one selection using clethodim, plants were sprayed with 0.09 lb ai clethodim acre−1 at 18 days after planting. Tx2783 and many of the wild sorghums died, but the herbicide tolerant entries were transplanted to pots for seed increase. In one selection using fluazifop-P, flats with Tx2783 and wild accessions were sprayed with a rate of 0.12 lb ai fluazifop-P acre−1 at 18 days after planting and with 0.36 lb ai fluazifop-P acre−1 at 32 days after planting. Tx2783 and many of the wild sorghums died, but the herbicide tolerant entries were transplanted to pots for seed increase. In a third experime...

Crosses of Bol-71 Wild Sorghum Genotype with Elite Sorghum Lines and Inheritance Determination

[0086]Bol-71 was crossed with elite sorghum parent lines including Tx430, 00MN7645, BTx623, and ATx623. Seed set was excellent in every cross indicating that the wild genotype was sexually compatible with cultivated sorghum and could be used in a plant breeding program to produce herbicide tolerant sorghum varieties.

[0087]The mode of inheritance of herbicide tolerance was determined by planting seeds of Bol-71, F1 generation of cross ATx623 x Bol-71, and Pioneer 84G62 (herbicide susceptible control) in flats containing MetroMix 360 potting soil in a greenhouse using a randomized complete block design (n=3). The plants were sprayed with 0.045 lb ai fluazifop-P acre−1 at 14 days after planting. Pioneer 84G62 died between 12-16 days after spraying. The ATx623 x Bol-71 and Bol-71 genotypes showed no herbicide damage, indicating that the herbicide tolerance trait was transmitted to cultivated so...

Gene Sequencing for ACC Resistance Gene

[0088]Gene sequencing efforts were initiated to determine if a genetic mutation might explain the herbicide tolerance phenotype. DNA was extracted from herbicide tolerant genotypes Bol-71 and R91 and herbicide susceptible genotypes Bol-36, ATx623, and Tx430. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers described by Delye and Michel (Weed Research, 2005, 45: 323-330; incorporated herein in its entirety) were used to amplify regions of the ACC gene associated with expression of herbicide tolerance. DNA sequencing (Kansas State University DNA sequencing facility) of resultant PCR products from herbicide tolerant and susceptible sorghum genotypes revealed that the susceptible genotypes contained the wild type sequence for the ACC gene as reported for sorghum (The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) Plant Transcript Assemblies database sequence designated TA3768—4558; incorporated herein in its entirety, see also table 1 below) and other cere...

Abstract

The present invention provides for compositions and methods for producing crop plants that are resistant to herbicides. In particular, the present invention provides for sorghum plants, plant tissues and plant seeds that contain altered acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) genes and proteins that are resistant to inhibition by herbicides that normally inhibit the activity of the ACC protein.

Description

[0001]The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 880,125 filed Jan. 12, 2007, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention provides for compositions and methods for producing crop plants that are resistant to herbicides. In particular, the present invention provides for sorghum plants, plant tissues and plant seeds that contain altered acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) genes and proteins that are resistant to inhibition by herbicides that normally inhibit the activity of the ACC protein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Sorghum is the second most important cereal-feed grain grown in the United States. Production is economically critical to farms operating in marginal rainfall areas because of sorghum's ability to tolerate drought and heat. Both the livestock and bio-energy industries utilize sorghum as an energy substrate thereby making it a versatile crop.[0004]Worldwide, sorghum is the fifth leadin...
