Controlling Fall Armyworm on Peanut, 1997 [PDF]
Abstract Foliar applications of insecticides were evaluated for FAW control in Brenda County. Each plot was 20 ft by 4 rows (36-inch centers), of NC 10 variety peanuts, and plots were arranged in a RCBD with four replicates. Peanuts were grown under standard production practices in a light sandy soil.

Extensive evolution of cereal ribosome-inactivating proteins translates into unique structural features, activation mechanisms, and physiological roles [PDF]
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a class of cytotoxic enzymes that can depurinate rRNAs thereby inhibiting protein translation. Although these proteins have also been detected in bacteria, fungi, and even some insects, they are especially ...
