Potential ecological effects of Piriformospora indica, a possible biocontrol agent, in UK agricultural systems [PDF]
Piriformospora indica (Sebacinaceae), a root endophytic fungus, was originally isolated from an arid sub-tropical soil. P. indica forms mutualistic symbioses with a broad range of host plants, increases biomass production, resistance and tolerance to ...

Weltweit haben Herbizidresistenzen massiv zugenommen. Neben dem starken Auftreten von Resistenzen in Nord- und Südamerika und Australien, sind viele Wirkstoffgruppen mittlerweile auch in Europa von Resistenzen betroffen. Beim Alopecurus myosuroides HUDS.

Evolutionary-thinking in agricultural weed management [PDF]
Agricultural weeds evolve in response to crop cultivation. Nevertheless, the central importance of evolutionary ecology for understanding weed invasion, persistence and management in agroecosystems is not widely acknowledged.

The Potential of Arable Weeds to Reverse Invertebrate Declines and Associated Ecosystem Services in Cereal Crops [PDF]
There is global concern that invertebrate populations are declining rapidly, particularly in agricultural habitats. Declines have been attributed to the intensification of farming systems, with many studies focussing on a lack of semi-natural habitat in ...

The herbicidal natural product phosphonothrixin is an inhibitor of the riboflavin biosynthetic enzyme L-3,4-dihydroxy-2-butanone-4-phosphate synthase. [PDF]
An enzyme involved in vitamin B2 biosynthesis, 3,4‐dihydroxy‐2‐butanone‐4‐phosphate synthase (DHBPS), was identified as the target of the natural product phosphonothrixin, representing a novel mode of action for herbicides. Abstract BACKGROUND In our ongoing search for new and environmentally friendly chemical entities that can control weeds via new ...

Evolved polygenic herbicide resistance in Lolium rigidum by low-dose herbicide selection within standing genetic variation [PDF]
The interaction between environment and genetic traits under selection is the basis of evolution. In this study, we have investigated the genetic basis of herbicide resistance in a highly characterized initially herbicide-susceptible Lolium rigidum ...

Managing Herbicide-resistant Blackgrass (Alopecurus Myosuroides): Theory and Practice
Blackgrass is the most important herbicide-resistant weed in Europe, occurring in 10 countries. Enhanced metabolism is the most common mechanism, conferring partial resistance to a wide range of herbicides, but acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) target-site resistance also occurs widely.

A Taxonomical Note on Genus Alopecurus (Poaceae) in Iran [PDF]
The identification and determination of Iranian Alopecurus specimens is doubtful; therefore, it is necessary to study the genus in Iran. Up to now, 12 species and 3 subspecies have been reported in previous studies in Iran. In this research, A. aequalis,

Cinmethylin, a pre-emergent applied active ingredient, inhibits the fatty acid thioesterase and offers a new option in the chemical control of Alopecurus myosuroides, one of the most problematic weeds in arable farming in Europe. It was assumed that with

The implications of spatially variable pre-emergence herbicide efficacy for weed management [PDF]
BACKGROUND The efficacy of pre-emergence herbicides within fields is spatially variable due to soil heterogeneity. We quantified the effect of soil organic matter on the efficacy of two pre-emergence herbicides; flufenacet and pendimethalin, against A.
