The identification of QTL controlling ergot sclerotia size in hexaploid wheat implicates a role for the Rht dwarfing alleles [PDF]
The fungal pathogen Claviceps purpurea infects ovaries of a broad range of temperate grasses and cereals, including hexaploid wheat, causing a disease commonly known as ergot.

Herbicide spring treatments for the control of brome grasses (Bromus spp.) in winter cereals
The efficacy of different ALS-inhibiting herbicides for the control of brome species (Bromus spp.) was tested in three field trials in the year 2010 – 2012 in the region of North-West-Bavaria Franken.

Graminicide resistance in a blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides) population correlates with insensitivity of acetyl‐CoA carboxylase [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe appearance of biotypes of the annual grass weed black‐grass (Alopecurus myosuroides L. Huds), which are resistant to certain graminicides, is the most significant example of acquired resistance to herbicides seen so far in European agriculture. An investigation was perfomed into the basis of the specific cross‐resistance to cyclohexanedione

Virus‐enabled reverse genetics (VERG) enables transient gene expression modulation in plants but its efficacy varies across species. We evaluated the efficacy of barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) and foxtail mosaic virus (FoMV) for virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) and virus‐mediated overexpression (VOX) in rice (Oryza sativa).

Experimental methods for estimation of plant fitness costs associated with herbicide-resistance genes [PDF]
Since the beginning of agriculture, crops have been exposed to recurrent invasion by weeds that can impose severe reductions in crop quality and yield. There have been continuing efforts to reduce the impacts of weeds on production.

VERNALIZATION2 alters early tiller development in a facultative spring hexaploid bread wheat
Summary An extended period of cold exposure enables the process of vernalization in winter cereals and is important for the synchronised timing of the floral transition. The cereal‐specific floral repressor VERNALIZATION2 (VRN2) has an integral role in vernalization, yet this locus remains poorly characterised in facultative spring hexaploid wheat ...

Detection of accase target-site resistant Alopecurus myosuroides huds (black-grass) in Belgian populations [PDF]
Black-grass is a common grass weed, widely spread in Northern Europe and also in Belgium. For ages, it has been an increasing problem in industrial crops, especially winter cereals.

Carrot or stick? – Would information concerning the economic value of nutrient losses, and their impact on food quality achieve greater environmental protection than regulation? [PDF]
This report was presented at the UK Organic Research 2002 Conference. Organic standards have, since their origin (Soil Association 1967) required high standards of manure management, but in reality, these have not been implemented, possibly because of ...

Assessing non-chemical weeding strategies through mechanistic modelling of blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides Huds.) dynamics [PDF]
Because of environmental and health safety issues, it is necessary to develop strategies that do not rely on herbicides to manage weeds. Introducing temporary grassland into annual crop rotations and mechanical weeding are the two main features that are frequently used in integrated and organic cropping systems for this purpose.
