Glyphosate-resistant rigid ryegrass has been identified in California, but research has yet to elucidate the resistance mechanism. The objectives of this study were to examine the differences between sensitive and resistant rigid ryegrass in absorption and distribution of glyphosate, in vivo and in vitro absorption by chloroplasts, and shikimic acid accumulation after glyphosate treatment. Foliar absorption and distribution of C-14-glyphosate did not differ 1 to 3 d after treatment (DAT) between the susceptible (S) and resistant (R) biotypes. Absorption of C-14-glyphosate by isolated chloroplasts also did not differ between the S and R biotypes. After foliar application of C-14-glyphosate, chloroplasts were isolated from treated leaves from both biotypes. Accumulation of C-14-glyphosate in the chloroplasts did not differ between the two biotypes. Shikimic acid level increased significantly in the S biotype after treatment with glyphosate at 2.24 kg ai ha(-1) to levels 10-fold greater than in the R biotype 11 DAT. Shikimic acid in the germination media at 2 to 5 mM did not affect seed germination of S and R biotypes but drastically decreased the length of coleoptiles of both at 5 DAT. Thus, biotype differences in sensitivity or metabolism of shikimic acid do not explain differences in sensitivity to glyphosate.
