Breeding switchgrass for reduced nitrogen demand
Grassland Research, EarlyView.Breeding has improved switchgrass biomass yield, but productivity is still heavily dependent on nitrogen fertilizer application. The genetic diversity needed to improve nitrogen use efficiency of switchgrass remains underused, mainly because of the slow and laborious breeding process, thus leaving the crop's high nitrogen demand as a major barrier to ...

Role of glutathione transferases in herbicide detoxification in weeds [PDF]
, 1996 Glutathione transferases (GSTs) catalyse the conjugation of the electrophilic herbicides atrazine, metolachlor, alachlor and fluorodifen with the tripeptide glutathione (GSH).

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The present study aimed to quantify pesticide residues in environmental matrices and plasma and to evaluate their potential effects on oxidative stress and DNA damage in rural populations of Santa Fe province. Soil and rainwater samples were collected, and biological samples and semistructured surveys were obtained from volunteers in three ...

Phytotoxicity of four photosystem II herbicides to tropical seagrasses.
PLoS ONE, 2013 Coastal waters of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) are contaminated with agricultural pesticides, including the photosystem II (PSII) herbicides which are the most frequently detected at the highest concentrations. Designed to control weeds, these herbicides

Turfgrass Herbicides: Mechanisms of Action and Resistance Management
EDIS, 2015 Herbicides are an effective tool for controlling weeds in turfgrass; however, weeds can become resistant to herbicides and create significant problems for turfgrass production.

Effects of two herbicides on healthy and Nosema infected honey bee workers [PDF]
, 2018 Herbicides are commonly used by farmers to get rid of deleterious weeds. There is a common believe by beekeepers that herbicides have no harmful impacts on bee colonies.

Abbau von Herbiziden und Fungiziden durch Mikroorganismen des Bodens
CHIMIA, 1973 Herbicides and fungicides are chemicals which increase and ameliorate production in agriculture and save manpower. Herbicides are used to control weeds without destruction of useful plants. Fungicides protect plants against the attack of phytopathogenic
