Engineering a Gibberellin‐Switchable Dual‐Use Line Based on Ent‐Kaurene Oxidase Gene ZmKO1 Enables Two‐Line Hybrid Seed Production in Maize

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Male‐sterile systems are pivotal for maize hybrid seed production, yet existing systems are constrained by significant limitations. Here, we identified a novel single‐gene‐controlled recessive genic male sterility (GMS) mutant, defective in filament elongation 1 (def1), which exhibits non‐elongated filaments, unopened glumes, and non‐exserted ...

FARM-LEVEL EFFECTS OF ADOPTING HERBICIDE-TOLERANT SOYBEANS IN THE U.S.A. [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper estimates the on-farm impacts of adopting herbicide-tolerant soybean on herbicide use, yields, and farm profits, using an econometric model that corrects for self-selection and simultaneity and is consistent with profit maximization. The model

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

open access: yesPlant 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 ...

Improved management of key northern region weeds: diverse problems, diverse solutions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The cropping region of northern Australia has a diverse range of cropping systems and weed flora. A fallow phase is commonly required between crops to enable the accumulation of stored soil water in these farming systems dominated by reduced tillage ...

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

open access: yesPlant 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.
