Abstract Glufosinate resistance in Palmer amaranth ( Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson) was recently detected three accessions from Arkansas, USA. is the first and only broadleaf weed species resistant to this herbicide, mechanism still unclear. A previous study characterized glufosinate level Arkansas. highly glufosinate-resistant accession further used investigate conferring A. . Experiments were ...

Abstract Glufosinate is among the few remaining effective herbicides for postemergence weed control in North Carolina crops. The evolution of glufosinate resistance key weeds currently not widespread Carolina, but to better assess current status effectiveness, surveys were distributed at Extension meetings 2019 and 2020. designed provide information about farmers’ perception its use. Survey res...

A rapid analytical method for residues of the herbicide, glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine], glufosinate [DL-homoalanine-4-yl(methyl)phosphinic acid] and glufosinate metabolite (MPPA: 3-methylphosphinicopropionic acid) in vegetables and fruits was developed by improving the bulletin method of glufosinate. 50 mL of solution extracted with water (corresponding to 2 g of the sample) was loade...

Field and greenhouse studies were conducted to investigate the compatibility of MSMA in a tank mixture with glyphosate or glufosinate for broadleaf and grass weed control. Glyphosate, glufosinate, and MSMA were evaluated at 0.53, 13, and 23 rates, with 13 rates of 0.84 kg ae/ha, 0.5 kg ai/ha, and 2.2 kg ai/ha, respectively. Glyphosate and glufosinate provided similar levels of control for most ...

7-Nitroindazole (NI) is a widely used inhibitor of neuronal nitricoxide synthase (nNOS) used to study the role of the neuronal NO pathway in the nervous system. 7-NI prevents convulsions, including 2-amino-4-methylphosphinobutyric acid (glufosinate)-induced convulsions, in experimental models. Herein, we examined nNOS involvement in glufosinate-induced convulsions and the specificity of 7-NI fo...

The CRISPR/Cas9 system enables precision editing of the genome of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and likely of any other organism. Tools and methods for further developing and optimizing this widespread and versatile system in Arabidopsis would hence be welcomed. Here, we designed a generic vector system that can be used to clone any sgRNA sequence in a plant T-DNA vector containing an ub...

A simple analytical method was developed to measure concentrations of glufosinate ammonium and its metabolites, 3-methylphosphinico-propionic acid (MPP) and 2-methylphosphinico-acetic acid (MPA), in field soil samples. To determine the minimum quantification limit, samples were spiked at different levels (0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/kg). Soil samples were extracted with ammonium hydroxide solution 5% ...

Global occurrences of herbicide resistant weed populations have increased the demand for development of new herbicides targeting novel mechanisms of action. Metagenomic approaches to natural drug discovery offer potential for isolating weed suppressive compounds from microorganisms. In past research, traditional techniques entailed isolating compounds from living organisms, whereas metagenomic ...

Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn, commonly known as goosegrass or wiregrass, is a type of grass that widespread in many parts the world. The broad-spectrum herbicide glyphosate most frequently used Indonesian oil palm plantations to get rid weeds and other undesirable plants. However, improper rotation types by farmers has led an increased risk resistant weed emergence. This investigation tries vali...
