RESUMO

ABSTRACTRepeated use of glyphosate as herbicide in the same site, among other things, increases the frequency of individuals with low sensitivity. Petunia axillaris is among the many reported cases of weed species that have presented problems for proper management. This study evaluates their sensitivity and discusses the possible mechanisms involved in its differential sensitivity. For this purpose, we analyzed the retention, absorption and translocation of radiolabeled herbicide, and the morphological characteristics related to the herbicide response. Studies confirms that Petunia axillaris is a glyphosate tolerant specie and the shikimic acid metabolic pathway is not altered. The low sensitivity to glyphosate in Petunia axillaris could be associated to low foliar retention and increased time of absorption, which delayed the entrance and movement of the herbicide. Regardless the altered structure with glyphosate, seed production is high enough which ensures the perpetuation of the less sensitive genotypes. Petunia axillaris showed a combination of morphological, structural, and physiological characteristics that determined their adaptive advantage to perpetuate and increase its population in systems with intensive use of glyphosate.
