We present an experiment done on a bar(+) wheat line treated with 14 different concentrations of glufosinate ammonium-an effective component of nonselective herbicides-during seed germination in a closed experimental system. Yield components as number of spikes per plant, number of grains per spike, thousand kernel weight, and yield per plant were thoroughly analysed and statistically evaluated...

Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) is known to be glyphosate-resistant and one of the most common and troublesome weeds in Arkansas cotton production. Glufosinate is known to provide good control of 1-4 inch Palmer amaranth, but control of larger weeds is erratic. The lack of control provided by glufosinate on large weeds may be caused by coverage issues. The objective of this study was to ev...

Although glufosinate ammonium herbicides are considered safe when used properly, ingestion of the undiluted form can cause grave outcomes. Recently, we treated a 34-yr-old man who ingested glufosinate ammonium herbicide. In the course of treatment, the patient developed apnea, mental deterioration, and sixth cranial nerve palsy; he has since been discharged with full recovery after intensive ca...

The aim of this paper is to describe the evaluation of engineered herbicide-resistance in transgenic sugarcane of Herbicide treatment of crops allows economic weed control. To be useful, herbicides must distinguish between crop plant variety NCo3 10 under field conditions. and weed, and this often limits usage. Engineering herbicide resistance into crop plants via genetic transformation techniq...

Field experiments were conducted in Chile and western Canada to measure short-distance (0 to 100 m) outcrossing from transgenic safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) intended for plant molecular farming to non-transgenic commodity safflower of the same variety. The transgenic safflower used as the pollen source was transformed with a construct for seed-specific expression of a high-value protein ...

Glufosinate ammonium is a commercial herbicide made from a phosphinic acid derivative of glutamate, which leads to a lethal accumulation of ammonia in plants by inhibiting the activity of glutamine synthetase (1). As the use of glufosinate-ammoniumcontaining herbicides has increased, so too has the incidence of acute intoxication through accidental or purposeful (attempted suicide) ingestion of...

Background Transferring herbicide resistance genes to plant cultivars is one of the most effective methods for managing weed growth in agricultural land. The RePAT gene, previously isolated from marine bacterium Rhodococcus sp . strain YM12, was found provide glufosinate plants. Objective In this study, we further investigated protein structure and function marine. Methods physicochemical prope...

Glufosinate is currently used to kill unwanted plants in landscape areas where a complete vegetation kill is desired (for example, around the base of shrubs, in sand traps on golf courses, or around fence and sign posts) in industrial, recreational, and public areas such as airports, schools, parking lots, roadsides, and railroad rights-ofway. It is also used as a directed spray (away from crop...

A study was conducted to determine the efficacy of a combination of ametryn plus glyphosate or glufosinate in tank-mixtures on the control of goosegrass at the 3to 4tiller growth stage under glasshouse and field conditions. In the glasshouse, seven of the nine herbicide combinations were additive, while two of them were antagonistic when goosegrass was treated with combinations of ametryn plus ...

The objective of this paper is to outline the current use of herbicide-resistant soybean and corn in the United States and describe the ramifications of utilizing these crops derived from biotechnology. The popular press and news articles detail the positions of consumers, environmental advocates, and the agriculture industry. Recent concerns expressed by consumers throughout the world have aff...
