It has been reported (1, 2) that intraperitoneal implantation with two male and two female adult Setaria cervi produces microfilaremia in rats within two weeks and lasts from 54±6 days. When the number of worms implanted is increased, microfilaria appear earlier but the mortality of the host is higher. Complete disappearance of microfilaria from peripheral circulation results after oral and int...

The nature of weeds is a complex adaptive, soil-seed communication system. The nature of weedy Setaria life history is an adaptable, changeable system in which complex behaviors emerge when self-similar plant components self-organize into functional traits possessing biological information about spatial structure and temporal behavior. The nature of the weedy Setaria is revealed in the physical...

The lower montane zone of northwestern Ecuador, like many parts of the tropics, is undergoing rapid conversion from native forest vegetation to crop and pastureland. The current landscape is a mosaic of agricultural land, forest fragments and secondgrowth vegetation in various stages of development. While there is abundant research documenting the e€ects of land-use change in the lowland tropic...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite primers were developed to investigate population genetic structure in Lindera glauca (Lauraceae). METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-five microsatellite primers were developed and optimized for L. glauca using Illumina's Solexa sequencing technology. These novel primers were found to be polymorphic in nine wild L. glauca populations with 81 total alleles confirmed ...

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 ...

Wheat, a significant grain crop, is the second-largest crop in terms of acreage and output after rice. It farmed on around 217 million hectares worldwide, with nearly half it poor nations. Wheat member Poaceae family. Weed flora wheat includes Phalaris minor, Avena ludoviciana, Chenopodium album, Lathyrus aphaca, Vicia sativa, hirsute, Medicago hispida, Cichorium intybus, Asphodelus tenuifolius...

Setaria italica and its wild ancestor Setaria viridis are diploid C(4) grasses with small genomes of ∼515 Mb. Both species have attributes that make them attractive as model systems. Setaria italica is a grain crop widely grown in Northern China and India that is closely related to the major food and feed crops maize and sorghum. A large collection of S. italica accessions are available and thu...

We have collated and reviewed published records of the genera Panicum and Setaria (Poaceae), including the domesticated millets Panicum miliaceum L. (broomcorn millet) and Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv. (foxtail millet) in pre-5000 cal b.c. sites across the Old World. Details of these sites, which span China, central-eastern Europe including the Caucasus, Iran, Syria and Egypt, are presented wi...

Project Goals: “A Systems-Level Analysis of Drought and Density Response in the Model C4 Grass Setaria viridis”. The specific aims of the proposal are to: 1) Identify QTL for the effect of drought and density on biomass and seed yield components of Setaria. 2) Conduct in–depth physiological profiles in roots and leaves of a subset of selected lines 3) Integrate datasets and develop metabolic an...
