Imidazolinone-resistant hard red wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars are occasionally injured by imazamox applications because a portion of the acetolactate synthase (ALS) remains susceptible to the herbicide. The growth and enzyme activity of two groups of hard red wheat near-isolines with spring or winter growth habit were examined following imazamox application. Each group of near-isolines contained a susceptible cultivar and cultivars with the imidazolinone-resistant trait on either the B or D genome. The spring wheat group also contained a line carrying both the B and D genome copies of the resistance gene. In whole plant experiments, growth of all single-gene resistant lines was delayed by both 35 and 105 g ha^–1 imazamox while the two-gene line was delayed at only the highest rate. There was a herbicide rate effect on biomass accumulation but no differences among genome locations in the single-gene resistant lines or among spring vs. winter growth habit. On an ALS enzyme basis, however, there were differences among B- vs. D-genome resistance and between winter and spring growth habit. Spring wheat cultivars with the B-genome resistance had greater reductions in ALS activity compared to the D-genome cultivars, while in winter wheat, B- and D-genome lines responded similarly. Differences among genotypes existed in the recovery of ALS activity in imidazolinone wheat but other factors also likely influence the injury occasionally observed in the field.
