Herbicide resistance is a ubiquitous challenge to herbicide sustainability and a looming threat to control weeds in crops. Recently four genes were found constituently over-expressed in herbicide resistant individuals of Lolium rigidum, a close relative of Lolium multiflorum. These include two cytochrome P450s, one nitronate monooxygenase and one glycosyl-transferase. Higher expressions of thes...

Glyphosate-resistant corn and soybean are grown in rotations in the Midwest, including Nebraska. Volunteer corn is a problematic weed in soybean fields because it causes harvest problems, reduces yield and seed quality, and potentially harbors insects, pests, and diseases. Several pre-packaged herbicides have been registered in soybean in recent years, but response of volunteer corn to these he...

Herbicidal activity of aryloxyphenoxypropionate and cyclohexanedione herbicides (graminicides) has been proposed to involve two mechanisms: inhibition of acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) and depolarization of cell membrane potential. We examined the effect of aryloxyphenoxypropionates (diclofop and haloxyfop) and cyclohexanediones (sethoxydim and clethodim) on root cortical cell membrane ...

The United States is the largest producer of maize in the world. Maize-soybean is the most prominent crop rotation in the Midwestern United States. Glyphosate-resistant volunteer maize is a problem weed not only in soybean, but also in continuous maize or sugarbeet rotations. Storm damage, harvesting problems, poor stalk quality, and insect damage, among other factors, can lead to kernel and ea...

هدف: هدف از این مطالعه بررسی اثر سینامیک‌اسید (CA) بر برخی خصوصیات فیزیولوژیکی و میزان تحمل‌به‌شوری گیاه‌تنباکو (Nicotiana rustica L.) می‌باشد.مواد روش‌ها: در قطعات جداکشت گیاه تنباکو رشد‌یافته محیط MS به محیط‌های کشت حاوی (غلظت‌های 0، 5، 10 20 میلی‌گرم‌در‌لیتر) نمک NaCl 100 200 میلی‌مولار) منتقل‌گردید. پس چهار هفته فعالیت آنزیم فنیل‌آلانین‌آمونیالیاز (PAL) تیروزین‌آمونیالیاز (TAL) ، ترکیبات‌فن...
