Meiotic System of Emex Australis - a Prolific Winter Annual Weed
نویسندگان
چکیده
Emex australis Steinh. is a prolific winter annual which has assumed the status of an obnoxious weed. It grows in wide range of climatic conditions and has a potential to spread to even more diverse habitats. The meiotic system of the plant is studied to ascertain the ability to spread. It was found that the vigor to adapt to different habitats is provided both by its breeding and meiotic systems, though the former contributes more to generation of variation. In meiotic system, moderate chromosome number provides for shuffling through independent assortment while small chromosome size and low recombination index have minor role to play.

Cropping systems alter weed seed banks in Pacific Northwest semi-arid wheat region
Arable land weed seed banks are dynamic and reflect cropping history, current management, and environment. Changes in crop rotation and tillage system can alter weed seed density and species composition. In the semi-arid region of the Pacific Northwest, USA, no-till spring cropping is being studied as an alternative to the traditional winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)/dust-mulch fallow (WWF) ...

This research compared effects of the weed control practice, soil cultivation, and the conventional practice, glyphosate application on weed seedbank, in a vineyard system. The experiment was conducted in a commercial wine-grape vineyard in the Napa Valley of northern California from 2003 to 2005. The annual treatments were ‘‘winter–spring glyphosate,’’ ‘‘spring cultivation,’’ ‘‘fall–spring cul...
متن کاملNitrogen Fertility and Weed Management Critical for Continuous No-Till Wheat in the Pacific Northwest1
No-till cropping is an option for growers needing to reduce soil erosion in the Palouse annual-cropped region of the Pacific Northwest, which is well suited for wheat production. A 6-yr field study was conducted to determine optimum levels of fertilizer and herbicide inputs in a no-till continuous wheat crop production system. Three levels of nitrogen (N) and two weed management levels (WML) we...
