Weed Resistance

A resistência de plantas daninhas aos herbicidas, principalmente os inibidores da síntese de aminoácidos ramificados (isoleucina, leucina e valina), está se propagando no Brasil. A literatura propõem que a resistência aos herbicidas ocorre devido à seleção de indivíduos mutantes já presentes na comunidade vegetal aspergida pelo herbicida. Contudo, durante a replicação do DNA ocorrem erros que são corrigidos por diversas proteínas. Já foi identificada a composição de aminoácidos das proteínas do grupo MutS, responsáveis pela correção de erros replicativos em Arabidopsis thaliana. Com base na elevada composição dos aminoácidos ramificados nas proteínas do grupo MutS, este trabalho questiona se a ausência desses aminoácidos em momentos críticos da replicação do DNA pode estar prejudicando a correção dos erros do DNA das plantas daninhas. Comparações são feitas entre possíveis efeitos de inibidores de acetolactato sintase (ALS) e de enol-piruvil-shiquimatofosfato- sintase (EPSPS). Com base nessas informações sugere-se que herbicidas inibidores da síntese de aminoácidos ramificados podem propiciar o aparecimento de mais indivíduos mutantes resistentes aos mesmos. WEED RESISTANCE: SELECTION OR INDUCTION TO MUTATION BY INHIBITORS OF ACETO LACTATE SYNTASE HERBICIDES Abstract The weed resistance to herbicides is widely spread in Brazil, mainly for the compounds inhibitors of the synthesis of branched-chain amino acids, isoleucine, leucine and valine. The literature proposes that the resistance to herbicides appears as result of selection of mutant individual plants existent in the weed flora prior to herbicide application. However, during DNA replication occur replication errors, that are corrected by several proteins. It is already known the amino acid composition of the proteins from the group MutS, responsible for the correction of replication errors in Arabidopsis thaliana. Based on the high composition of branched-chain amino acids on the group MutS proteins, in this work it is hypothesized that the absence of these amino acids on critical moments of the DNA replication can be interfering on the correction of the DNA replication errors in weeds. Possible effect of aceto lactate syntase (ALS) and enolpyruvil- shiquimato-phosphate syntase (EPSPS) inhibithing herbicides are compared. This review suggests that herbicides inhibitor of branched chain amino acid synthesis can trigger the appearance of more mutant weeds resistant to the herbicides when sprayed by these compounds.

Abstract. Branched chain amino acids (BCAA), with vitamin B6 have been reported to improve fat metabolism and muscle synthesis. We hypothesized that supplementation with BCAA and vitamin B6 would result in more weight loss and improve body composition and blood markers related to cardiovascular diseases. Our aim was to determine whether the mentioned supplementation would affect weight loss, body composition, and cardiovascular risk factors during weight loss intervention. To this end, we performed a placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial in 42 overweight and obese women (BMI = 25–34.9 kg/m2). Taking a four-week moderate deficit calorie diet (–500 kcal/day), participants were randomized to receive BCAA (6 g/day) with vitamin B6 (40 mg/day) or placebo. Body composition variables measured with the use of bioelectrical impedance analysis, homeostatic model assessment, and plasma insulin, Low density lipoprotein, High density lipoprotein, Total Cholesterol, Triglyceride, and fasting blood sugar were measured. The result indicated that, weight loss was not significantly affected by BCAA and vitamin B6 supplementation (–2.43 ± 1.02 kg) or placebo (–1.64 ± 1.48 kg). However, significant time × treatment interactions in waist to hip ratio (P = 0.005), left leg lean (P = 0.004) and right leg lean (P = 0.023) were observed. Overall, supplementation with BCAA and vitamin B6 could preserve legs lean and also attenuated waist to hip ratio.

The Relationship

Branched chain amino acids are the essential nutrients for humans and many animals. As functional amino acids, they play important roles in physiological functions, including immune functions. Isoleucine, as one of the branched chain amino acids, is also critical in physiological functions of the whole body, such as growth, immunity, protein metabolism, fatty acid metabolism and glucose transportation. Isoleucine can improve the immune system, including immune organs, cells and reactive substances. Recent studies have also shown that isoleucine may induce the expression of host defense peptides (i.e., β-defensins) that can regulate host innate and adaptive immunity. In addition, isoleucine administration can restore the effect of some pathogens on the health of humans and animals via increasing the expression of β-defensins. Therefore, the present review will emphatically discuss the effect of isoleucine on immunity while summarizing the relationship between branched chain amino acids and immune functions.
