Three Decades of China's Bt Cotton: Achievements and Insights

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cotton is a vital natural fibre crop with significant economic value worldwide. In response to the threat of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), the China government initiated a research project in 1992 to develop transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton.

Repeatability, Genetic Variability and Importance of Forage Traits in Ecotypes of Brunswickgrass (Paspalum nicorae Parodi) via BLUP

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study estimated the repeatability of forage traits in 84 Paspalum nicorae ecotypes using six statistical methods and quantified the minimum number of harvests needed for effective selection. Multivariate analyses based on best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) values were also performed to assess genetic variability, identify key traits ...

Generation of Maize 5-Enolpyruvylshikimate-3-Phosphate Synthase (EPSPS) Variants with Improved Glyphosate Tolerance

International Journal of Plant Biology
Glyphosate (N-phosphonomethylglycine) is a broad-spectrum, foliar-applied herbicide that inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) in plants.

Horseweed (Marestail) Resistance [PDF]

, 2018
Horseweed has documented resistance to EPSPS inhibitors, PSII inhibitors, ALS inhibitors, and PSI inhibitor (Heap, 2018). Glyphosate resistant horseweed moves the herbicide into a vacuole preventing the herbicide from damaging the plant (Ge, 2010).

Glyphosate residues in soil alter herbivore‐induced plant volatiles and affect predatory insect behaviour

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Herbicide residues in soil disrupt plant–insect signalling, reducing the effectiveness of biological pest control. Abstract Plants under herbivore attack emit distinct blends of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) which serve as signalling cues for predatory insects.

Drivers of planted seedling survival and growth in a Mediterranean‐climate woodland restoration experiment

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The restoration of degraded ecosystems is an important means of promoting and conserving biodiversity. However, restoration projects on average fail to reach target biodiversity levels within the time frames they are studied. Competition from non‐native groundlayer grasses and forbs, potential facilitative effects of plant–plant ...

Integrating herbicide application and seeding techniques to restore native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass‐dominated rangelands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoring native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum)‐dominated rangelands is a persistent challenge in ecological restoration across western North America. Dense, long‐lived stands of this exotic grass suppress native seedling recruitment, hinder habitat restoration, and reduce ecosystem resilience ...

Alternative approaches to dryland reclamation enhance vegetation cover and soil stability at a former uranium mine

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Conventional reclamation methods to recover dryland ecosystems after mineral extraction often have low success. Alternative reclamation techniques may help overcome the many challenges to establishing persistent native vegetation and stable soils.
