Poor emergence resulting in inadequate stand establishment is a major problem associated with direct-seeded rice production, especially for semidwarf cultivars. In order to gain information on the problem, plant type related to gibberellic acid (GA3) and seeding depth was studied. A total of 21 cultivars including 9 semidwarfs and 12 talls had seed treated with GA3 at 25 parts per million (ppm)...

The reaction of the primary amine of fumonisin B(1) (FB(1)) with glucose was hypothesized to detoxify this mycotoxin. Eighty 10-day-old female F344/N rats were injected intraperitoneally with diethylnitrosamine (DEN; 15 mg/kg of body weight). At 4 weeks of age, the weaned rats were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups with 20 rats each. At 9 weeks of age, four rats from each treatm...
