The content of free amino acids was determined in aboveground parts of selected Kochia scoparia populations after treatment with chlorsulfuron and imazapyr. In the population from the locality Kolin (27 % resistant individuals) the total content of free amino acids rose to 155 % and 245 % of the control 24 h after chlorsulfuron treatment (using doses of 22.5 g and 67.5 g/ha), while imazapyr treatment (1000 g/ha) increased the content to 215 % of the control. In populations from the locality Prague-Vrsovice (78 % of resistant individuals) the same treatments resulted in a level of 115 % and 94 % (for chlorsulfuron) and 131 % (for imazapyr) of free amino acids compared to the control. The plants from the two localities differed in the content of the amino acids valine and leucine. A significant decrease of these amino acids in plants from Kolin in contrast to those from Prague-Vrsovice substantiates the opinion of a higher sensitivity of acetolactate synthase (ALS) which is responsible for the biosynthesis of amino acids with branched chains. A significant increase of arginine content was determined in both populations after all herbicide treatments.
