The cytoskeleton is a key regulator of plant morphogenesis, sexual reproduction, and cellular responses to extracellular stimuli. During the self-incompatibility response of Papaver rhoeas L. (field poppy) pollen, the actin filament network is rapidly depolymerized by a flood of cytosolic free Ca that results in cessation of tip growth and prevention of fertilization. Attempts to model this dra...

The aim of this study was to compile a detailed phytochemical profile and assess the antioxidant properties bee-collected pollen (PBP) obtained from corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas L.) plants. To achieve this, lipid fraction prepared for quantifying fatty acids using GC-FID. Extractable alkaline-hydrolysable PBP fractions (obtained defatted sample) were used determine qualitative quantitative profil...

Pelargonic acid is a non-selective post-emergence contact bio-herbicide which registered both for cropping and non-cropping uses in several countries. Dose–response curves on the efficacy of pelargonic against common weeds Mediterranean areas are not available. summer winter annual were evaluated two field experiments (winter exp. 2019 2020) central Italy. was applied at five doses (1.4, 2.7, 5...

Weeds are one group of pests that significantly reduce crop yields and qualities, while herbicide use poses a risk to human health environment. Weed seed predation has been identified as potential biocontrol approach offering sustainable weed management. It causes substantial losses on species in fields, thus may result reduction use. This study aimed investigate the relevant patterns important...
