In this study, two halophilic bacterial strains isolated from saline habitats in Argentina grew in the presence of gas oil. They were identified as Halomonas spp. and Nesterenkonia sp. by 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing. Chemotaxis towards gas oil was observed in Halomonas spp. by using swimming assays.

The field experiment was conducted during 2021-22. During the study analysis of variance for 19 diverse genotypes Amaranthus were designed in randomized block design and revealed significant difference all 12 characters, this indicated presence wide spectrum variability among genotypes. genetic divergence through Mahalanobis D2 statistics that a considerable diversity found grouped into 5 clust...

BACKGROUND In the Pacific islands countries and territories, very little is known about the incidence of infectious diseases due to zoonotic pathogens. To our knowledge, human infections due to Rickettsia spp., Coxiella burnetii, Ehrlichia spp. and Bartonella spp. have never been reported in French Polynesia; and infections due to C. burnetti have been reported worldwide except in New Zealand. ...

a two year field experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of municipal waste compost (c), composted cattle manure (m), and nitrogen (n) on growth and composition of weeds in a corn field in shiraz using a split-split plot design with 3 replicates. visual inspection of the plots showed that the manure treatments neither introduced new weed species nor increased weed density more than t...

Herbicide resistance in weeds is an evolutionary process. Although there a great global diversity of weeds, independent origins herbicide evolution have been shown to converge into similar molecular and physiological mechanisms geographically distant weed populations. Amaranthus species extraordinary ability evolve invade new environments at scale, which represents opportunity for identifying a...

Effects of red (600 to 680 nanometers) and far red (700 to 760 nanometers) irradiances on Amaranthus retroflexus L. seeds indicate that synthesis of phytochrome in the red-absorbing form takes place in water-imbibed nongerminating seeds at 35 C. After 96 hours in darkness, conversion of about 0.10% phytochrome to the far red-absorbing form induces 50% germination. Continuous far red radiation a...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Cress-seed (Lepidium sativum) exudate exerts an allelochemical effect, promoting excessive hypocotyl elongation and inhibiting root growth in neighbouring Amaranthus caudatus seedlings. We investigated acidic disaccharides present in cress-seed exudate, testing the proposal that the allelochemical is an oligosaccharin-lepidimoic acid (LMA; 4-deoxy-β-l-threo-hex-4-enopyranuro...
