The toxicity of 7 herbicides to the three cyanobacteria was tested in this work. The results indicated that: (1) There was a highly significant relationship between dried weight or chlorophyll-a and OD680nm for tested cyanobacteria; (2) the toxicity of the tested herbicides with the order from high to low was: photosynthesis-inhibiting > ACCase inhibitor > protox inhibiting herbicides; (3) the ...

Regulation of the cytosolic acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) gene promoter from common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) was studied in transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants using a beta-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene fusion (PvACCase::GUS). Under normal growth conditions, GUS was expressed in hydathodes, stipules, trichome bases, flowers, pollen, and embryos. In roots, expressi...

Wild oats are worldwide grassy weeds that cause substantial yield losses, particularly in winter cereal crops. In addition, wild oat herbicide resistant cases have increased; indeed, up to 52 been registered. Despite this, no described Spain, where farmers and technicians reported poor efficacy sterile (Avena sterilis subsp. L.). A dose-response experiment was conducted comparing the behavior o...

Adjuvants mayimprove control efficiency of volunteer RR® corn with ACCase inhibiting herbicides. Thus, the aim this study was to evaluate effects adjuvant addition herbicides clethodim and quizalofop, on surface tension, spray deposition control. The tension (96 g a.i. ha-1) quizalofop (60 without a mineral oil, vegetable oil an organosilicon evaluated at concentrations 0.01; 0.05; 0.1; 0.5; 1....
