The sulfonylurea resistant sugarbeetlines, EL 49 and 5-181, were evaluated for cross resistance to the triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilide herbicide, flumetsulam, and the imidazolinone herbicide, imazamethabenz, i tissue culture, greenhouse studies, and ALS enzyme essays. EL 49 was at least 30-fold more tolerant than sensitive sugarbeet to flumetsulam and about 10-fold more tolerant to imazamethabenz. A sister line of EL 49, name 5-181, showed cross resistance to flumetsulam but not to imazamethabenz. EL 49 and 5-181 exhibited a greater than 20-fold level of resistance in ALS assays versus sensitive controls to flumetsulam but less than 3-fold resistance to imazamethabenz. These results indicate a second genetic factor for herbicide cross resistance in present EL 49. |
