Outbreak of bovine stomatitis in a feedlot due to Setaria lutescens (yellow foxtail)
نویسنده
چکیده
A case of poor-doing cattle in a feedlot in the prairie region of western Canada was investigated. Clinical examination revealed mild to severe chronic ulcerative stomatitis. Histopathological examination confirmed plant material embedded within the lesions. Yellow foxtail (Setaria lutescens) was grossly visible in clover silage fed to the cattle. This case highlights the need to consider plant awns as a potential cause of outbreaks of ulcerative stomatitis.

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Chinese Foxtail Millet [Setaria italica (L.) Beauv.] Landraces
As an ancient cereal of great importance for dryland agriculture even today, foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is fast becoming a new plant genomic model crop. A genotypic analysis of 250 foxtail millet landraces, which represent 1% of foxtail millet germplasm kept in the Chinese National Gene Bank (CNGB), was conducted with 77 SSRs covering the foxtail millet genome. A high degree of molecular ...

Yellow foxtail (Setaria glauca L. P. Beauv) growing on a cadmium-contaminated site was sampled to determine the extent of cadmium bioaccumulation in aerial tissues and the impact of cadmium on growth and development. Water-extractable Cd concentrations in the soil ranged from 5.0 to 18.0 mg L. Aerial tissues contained elevated concentrations of Cd (16-48 μg g DW), with mean concentration ratios...

Weed seed persistence in the soil seedbank is central to weed population dynamics; however, limited knowledge of mechanisms regulating seed survival in soil remains an obstacle to developing seed-bank management practices. Weed seeds are rich in carbon and nitrogen, and therefore may represent an important nutritional resource to soil microbes. The objective of this study was to test the hypoth...
