Despite an extensive history of research into herbicide resistance in New Zealand maize, some aspects remain understudied. Herbicide was first detected the 1980s maize crops, with atrazine Chenopodium album L. and Persicaria maculosa Gray. Since then, has also developed to dicamba, last five years Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop. populations have been reported be resistant nicosulfuron. Here we...

Sunflower is the most important oil crop in Republic of Croatia. In last two decades, it has been grown on average 33,506 ha with a grain yield 2.66 t/ha. Weeds represent one causes biotic stress, and their action reflected competition for nutrients, water, light space. The weed flora sunflower crops Croatia extremely diverse, we will often meet: Polygonum persicaria L., lapathifolium Ambrosia ...

Photosynthetic O(2)-production and photorespiratory O(2)-uptake were measured, using stable isotope techniques, in isolated intact leaf cells of the C(3) plant Xanthium strumarium L., and isolated intact chloroplasts of Spinacia oleracea L (var. Yates 102). Considerable light dependent O(2)-uptake was observed in both systems, a proportion of which could be suppressed by CO(2) (63% suppression ...

The rates of transpiration from the upper and lower surfaces of leaves of Gossypium hirsutum, Xanthium strumarium, and Zea mays were compared with the rates at which helium diffused across those leaves. There was no evidence for effects of CO(2) concentration or rate of evaporation on the resistance to water loss from the evaporating surface ("resistance of the mesophyll wall to transpiration")...
