The enzyme, aryl acylamidase, was characterized in propanil-susceptible and propanil-resistant barnyardgrass with respect to kinetic parameters, the effects of inhibitors, and the levels of activity in darkand light-grown tissues. The enzyme reaction in the resistant tissue preparation proceeded linearly with time over a 5 h time course, while activity in the susceptible tissue preparation was ...

Post-flood applications of Clincher controlled tillered barnyardgrass from 65 to 85% when evaluated from 2 to 4 weeks after treatment. Grandstand, 2,4-D amine, and Blazer all caused reduction in control of barnyardgrass when tank-mixed with cyhalofop early after application. Clincher applied alone at 0.28 lb/acre controlled barnyardgrass 96% 8 weeks after treatment. Barnyardgrass control with C...

BACKGROUND Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) is an important weed that is a menace to rice cultivation and production. Rapid evolution of herbicide resistance in this weed makes it one of the most difficult to manage using herbicides. Since genome-wide sequence data for barnyardgrass is limited, we sequenced the transcriptomes of susceptible and resistant barnyardgrass biotypes using the 4...
