Chemical-dependent weed control has led to the evolution of herbicide-resistant weeds and pollution arable land water systems, posing a great threat food security environmental safety. For first time, we developed simple management regime ecologically deplete seed bank under wheat-rice cropping system, which in turn allowed reduction frequency conventional herbicide applications while sustainab...

Abstract Multiple-herbicide resistance (MHR) is a global threat to weed control in cereal crops. MHR weeds express specific phi class glutathione transferase (MHR-GSTF) that confers against multiple herbicides and therefore represents promising target weeds. Kinetics inhibition analysis of MHR-GSTFs from grass Lolium rigidum (LrGSTF) Alopecurus myosuroides (AmGSTF) crops Hordeum vulgare (HvGSTF...

Mapping weed densities within crops has conventionally been achieved either by detailed ecological monitoring or by field walking, both of which are time-consuming and expensive. Recent advances have resulted in increased interest in using Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to map fields, aiming to reduce labour costs and increase the spatial extent of coverage. However, adoption of this technology ...

We conducted a biogeographic analysis of the PPAM clade Poeae Plastid DNA Group 2, which includes 12 subtribes C3 grasses. One hundred and eighty-four species sampled represent 42 43 accepted genera taxonomic diversity in large genera. analyzed plastid sequences matK, trnC-rpoB, trnT-trnL-trnF using BEAST to produce dated tree MrBayes Bayesian tree, on we ran Bayesian-Binary-Markov-Chain analys...

BACKGROUND Arable weeds threaten farming and food production, impacting on productivity. Large-scale data weed populations are typically lacking, changes frequently undocumented until they reach problem levels. Managing the future spread of requires that we understand factors influence current densities distributions. In doing so, one challenges is to measure at a large enough scale be able acc...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Selective pressures exerted by agriculture on populations of arable weeds foster the evolution of adaptive traits. Germination and emergence dynamics and herbicide resistance are key adaptive traits. Herbicide resistance alleles can have pleiotropic effects on a weed's life cycle. This study investigated the pleiotropic effects of three acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase)...
