Palmer amaranth, a dioecious summer annual species, is one of the most trouble‐ some weeds in the agronomic crop production systems in the United States. In the last two decades, continuous reliance on herbicide(s) with the same mode of action as the sole weed management strategy has resulted in the evolution of herbicideresistant (HR) weeds, including Palmer amaranth. By 2015, Palmer amaranth ...

To determine the change in pesticides used during suicide attempts after the 2012 paraquat (PQ) ban, we evaluated the annual number of suicide attempts by pesticide ingestion between 2011 and 2014. We extracted demographic, clinical outcome, and pesticide class data from the medical records of 1,331 patients that attempted suicide by pesticide ingestion. Pesticides were sorted into 5 groups: he...

Abstract A field experiment was conducted in 2019 and 2020 that included six site-years four locations Arkansas to determine the optimal sequence timing of dicamba glufosinate applications when applied alone, sequentially, or combination control Palmer amaranth by size: labeled (<10 cm height) non-labeled (13 25 height). Single dicamba, glufosinate, plus (not labeled) resulted less than 80% ...

Herbicide-resistant creeping bentgrass plants (Agrostis stolonifera L.) without antibiotic-resistant markers were produced by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Embryogenic callus tissues were infected with Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA105, harboring the bar and the CP4-EPSPS genes for bialaphos and glyphosate resistance. Phosphinothricin-resistant calli and plants were selected. Soil-grown...

The application of genetic modifications to economically important plant species primarily includes tolerance to broad-spectrum herbicides such as glufosinate or glyophosate, resistance to pest and diseases, high yield, biofuel production and better quality food products for consumption. Plant model systems have played an important role in understanding plant biology that leads to economic trai...

This dialogue was held between the Guest Editors of the Special Issue on "Plant Transgenesis" of the Int. J. Dev. Biol. and Marc De Block. He was one of the first scientists worldwide to obtain transgenic plants transformed with the chimeric selectable marker genes encoding neomycin phosphotransferase and bialaphos that confer resistance against the antibiotic kanamycin and the herbicide Basta®...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate feeding transgenic corn containing the cry34Ab1 and cry35Ab1 genes from a Bacillus thuringiensis strain and the phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (pat) gene from Streptomyces viridochromogenes to finishing cattle compared with nontransgenic corn. Expression of the cry34Ab1 and cry35Ab1 genes confers resistance to corn rootworms, and the pat gene confers ...

The application of polar pesticides in agricultural production has been great interest due to their low costs and high effectiveness. For this reason, the possibility transfer foods animal origin is concern for human health. manuscript describes implementation validation an analytical method detect pesticides, at regulatory levels, three origin, including bovine fat, chicken eggs, cow milk. was...
