Since transgenic, bromoxynil-resistant cotton and glufosinate-resistant canola were introduced in 1995, planting of transgenic herbicide-resistant crops has grown substantially, revolutionizing weed management where they have been available. Before 1995, several commercial herbicide-resistant crops were produced by biotechnology through selection for resistance in tissue culture. However, non-t...

Yield reduction caused by late application of glyphosate to glyphosate-resistant cotton (Gossypium hirsutum; GRC) expressing CP4 5-enol-pyruvylshikmate-3-P synthase under the cauliflower mosaic virus-35S promoter has been attributed to male sterility. This study was aimed to elucidate the factors and mechanisms involved in this phenomenon. Western and tissue-print blots demonstrated a reduced e...

Research has documented the effects of tankmixing glyphosate with numerous insecticides on cotton growth and yield; however, no information is available concerning the addition of a residual herbicide such as an aqueous capsule suspension (ACS) formulation of pendimethalin to glyphosate plus an insecticide. Mixtures such as this are important as producers continue to search for costs savings in...

68 Abstract Transgenic bromoxynil-, glufosinate-, and glyphosate-resistant crops have been commercialized and grown extensively in the Western Hemisphere and, to a lesser extent, elsewhere. Bromoxynil-resistant crops have been removed from the market. Few new herbicide-resistant crops (HRCs) are likely to be introduced in the near future. Glyphosate-resistant cotton and soybean have become domi...

In this paper, we aim to detect crop injury from glyphosate, a herbicide, by both traditionally used spectral indices and newly extracted features with leaf hyperspectral reflectance data for non-Glyphosate-Resistant (non-GR) soybean and non-GR cotton. The new features were extracted by canonical analysis technique, which could provide the largest separability to distinguish the injured leaves ...

The pathway for the degradation of glyphosate (N-phosphonomethylglycine) by Pseudomonas sp. PG2982 has been determined by using metabolic radiolabeling experiments. Radiorespirometry experiments utilizing [3-14C]glyphosate revealed that approximately 50 to 59% of the C-3 carbon was oxidized to CO2. Fractionation of stationary-phase cells labeled with [3-14C]glyphosate revealed that from 45 to 4...

background: the presence of pesticides is very prevalent in surface waters of iran. these toxic substances may accumulate in the food chain and cause serious ecological and health problems. the aim of this study was to determine the acute toxicity of glyphosate, deltamethrin and pretilachlor as potential dangerous organic pesticides to assess lethal effects of these chemicals agents to the gupp...

this study was conducted in the research field of iranian research institute of plant protection in karaj as strip split plots with three replications. the first factor: tillage and no-tillage, and the second factor: herbicide: glyphosate 6 l/ha, 2,4-d + mcpa 2l/ha, glyphosate + 2,4-d + mcpa (6 + 2 l/ha), glyphosate 3 l/ha, 2,4-d + mcpa 1 l/ha, glyphosate + 2,4-d + mcpa (3 + 1 l/ha), and contro...

Leafy spurge ( L.) is an invasive weed of North America and its perennial nature attributed to underground adventitious buds (UABs) that undergo seasonal cycles of para-, endo-, and ecodormancy. Recommended rates of glyphosate (∼1 kg ha) destroy aboveground shoots but plants still regenerate vegetatively; therefore, it is considered glyphosate-tolerant. However, foliar application of glyphosate...

Widespread overuse of the herbicide glyphosate, the active ingredient in RoundUp®, has led to the evolution of glyphosate-resistant weed biotypes, some of which persist by overproducing the herbicide's target enzyme, 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). EPSPS is a key enzyme in the shikimic acid pathway for biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids, lignin, and defensive compounds, b...
