poaceous weeds are prolific and competitive in winter crops, but they are more insidious in wheat due to their similar morphology and growing requirements. herbicides are effective and efficient tools of weed management, however, they are vulnerable to resistance, and herbicides with different modes of action might check the dominance of a particular weed flora. the current study was undertaken...

The invertases of Lolium temulentum have been characterized at the enzyme level. However, studies on the expression of the genes coding for these enzymes have been lacking. To elucidate the role of acid 'invertase-like' genes in sucrose metabolism and carbon partitioning in Gramineae further, three 'invertase-like' homologous clones were isolated from L. temulentum cDNA expression libraries bas...
