Beyond the Paddy Fields: Riparian Reed Beds as Essential Natural Habitat for the Critically Endangered Suweon Treefrog, <i>Dryophytes suweonensis</i>. [PDF]
This figure shows the true habitat type of Dryophytes suweonensis that this paper aims to demonstrate. ABSTRACT The Suweon treefrog (Dryophytes suweonensis (Kuramoto, 1980)), a critically endangered amphibian endemic to the Korean Peninsula, is widely regarded as being closely associated with rice paddies.

Unraveling the Role of P450 Reductase in Herbicide Metabolic Resistance Mechanism. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Plants require cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) to supply two electrons for cytochrome P450 monooxygenase enzymes (P450) to react with an organic substrate. The transfer of electrons to the P450 active site in the P450 catalytic site relies on a robust and intricate CPR:P450 complex in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.

Multiple Origins or Widespread Gene Flow in Agricultural Fields? Regional Population Genomics of Herbicide Resistance in Bromus tectorum. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The repeated evolution of herbicide resistance in agriculture provides an unprecedented opportunity to understand how organisms rapidly respond to strong anthropogenic‐driven selection pressure. We recently identified agricultural populations of the grass species Bromus tectorum L. with resistance to multiple herbicides.

Clash of the Invaders: Competition Dynamics of <i>Bromus tectorum</i> and <i>Ventenata dubia</i> in an Addition Series Study. [PDF]
Competitive interactions between co‐occurring invasive species can have detrimental impacts on native community composition and cause countereffective responses to management. The goal of this research was to elucidate competitive dynamics between Bromus tectorum and Ventenata dubia, two invasive winter annual grasses found in the western United States

The potential of novel native plant materials for the restoration of novel ecosystems
Extensive ecological change has been sustained by many dryland ecosystems throughout the world, resulting in conversion to so-called novel ecosystems. It is within such ecological contexts that native plant materials destined for ecological applications ...

Survival of a Rifampicin-Resistant Pseudomonas fluorescens Strain in Nine Mollisols
Pseudomonas fluorescens strain D7 (P.f. D7) is a naturally occurring soil bacterium that shows promise as a biological herbicide to inhibit growth of annual grass weeds, including downy brome (Bromus tectorum L.), in crop- and rangelands.

Integrated Management of Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) with Sheep Grazing and Herbicide
Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) is one of the most problematic weeds in western United States rangelands and sagebrush steppe. It responds positively to different forms of disturbance, and its management has proven difficult.
