Herbicide tolerance in lentils
Lens culinaris Medik.
The ability of a lentil genotype to maintain productivity when exposed to herbicides to which the crop is typically sensitive. It is conferred by mutations in the AHAS gene, allowing for the application of post-emergence products such as imidazolinones.
In the reference 3 varieties crop Lentil, where this is mentioned in the description.
Lentil tolerance is assessed through dose-response analysis, visual determination of phytotoxicity, and calculation of yield reduction indices. Modern breeding methods include molecular diagnostics of the AHAS gene to identify resistance-conferring mutations, eliminating the need for field trials at early stages.
High tolerance is characterized by the absence of damage when applying imidazolinones, whereas sensitive forms respond with chlorosis, necrosis, and stunted growth. Given the poor competitive ability of lentils and their susceptibility to mechanical weeding, the presence of tolerance is a key factor for profitability and flexible crop rotation management.
