Globe fringerush (Fimbristylis miliacea) cross resistance to als-inhibitor herbicides under field conditions in irrigated rice in the south of Brazil [PDF]
Planta Daninha, 2013 ALS-inhibiting herbicides usually provide adequate weed control in irrigated rice fields. After consecutive years of use, the Cyperaceae species, globe fringerush (Fimbristylis miliacea) began to show resistance to ALS (acetolactate synthase) inhibitors.

Transcriptional and Metabolic Responses of Bacillus subtilis to the Availability of Organic Acids: Transcription Regulation Is Important but Not Sufficient To Account for Metabolic Adaptation [PDF]
, 2006 The soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis can use sugars or organic acids as sources of carbon and energy. These nutrients are metabolized by glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and the Krebs citric acid cycle. While the response of B.

Chemical control strategies for Poa annua in managed turfgrass systems
Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract Poa annua L. is a widespread and persistent weed in managed turfgrass systems, exhibiting both annual and short‐lived perennial growth habits. Effective management requires an integrated approach, with chemical herbicides remaining a primary tool.

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 4, Page 1036-1049, April 2026.ABSTRACT Isobutanol is a fusel alcohol that can be produced microbially for use as a biofuel or upgraded into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). A key enzyme in the isobutanol biosynthetic pathway is 2‐ketoacid decarboxylase (KDC), which irreversibly decarboxylates 2‐ketoisovalerate (KIV) to yield isobutyraldehyde.

Cas9‐Embedding Hyperactive TadA8e Confers Efficient and Highly Specific A‐To‐G Base Editing in Rice
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2576-2591, April 2026.ABSTRACT Adenine base editors (ABEs) produce precise A‐to‐G conversion in the genomic target sites without causing double‐strand breaks. However, the hyperactive adenosine deaminase TadA8e raises safety concerns on genome‐wide off‐target edits. We engineered 11 chimeric proteins for ABEs (CP‐ABEs) by embedding hyperactive TadA8e within Cas9 nickase to ...

Hyperspectral signatures reveal hidden stress in soybean caused by residual nicosulfuron
New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.Residual nicosulfuron in soil triggers a distinct injury–regulation–collapse trajectory in soybean. Multimodal phenotyping combining hyperspectral, UV‐MCF, and chlorophyll fluorescence imaging enables early, non‐invasive detection and dynamic monitoring of latent herbicide stress, offering a mechanistic basis for risk assessment in crop rotation ...
