Horizontal Gene Transfer Contributes to Plant Evolution: The Case of Agrobacterium T-DNAs [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can be defined as the acquisition of genetic material from another organism without being its offspring. HGT is common in the microbial world including archaea and bacteria, where HGT mechanisms are widely understood and ...

Interference of morningglories (Ipomoea spp.) with ‘Fascination’ triploid watermelon [PDF]
Weed Science, 2022 AbstractMorningglories (Ipomoea spp.) are among the most troublesome weeds in cucurbits in the United States; however, little is known about Ipomoea spp. interference with horticultural crops. Two additive design field studies were conducted in 2020 at two locations in Indiana to investigate the interference of ivyleaf morningglory (Ipomoea hederacea ...

Assessment of the potential of wild Ipomoea spp. for the improvement of drought tolerance in cultivated sweetpotato Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam [PDF]
Crop Science, 2020 AbstractSweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam] is cultivated worldwide, and it is a staple food in many developing countries. In some regions (e.g., Africa) drought is a major production constraint that results in significant yield loss. Climate change is predicted to result in even greater losses due to long periods of drought and elevated ...

Chemical Control of Morning Glory Species in Sugarcane Harvested in the Dry and Semi-Wet Seasons1 [PDF]
Planta Daninha, 2016 The control of morning glory (Ipomoea spp. and Merremia aegyptia) was evaluated in five commercial sugarcane-production fields receiving applications of the herbicides sulfentrazone (0.9 kg ha-1), amicarbazone (1.4 kg ha-1), imazapic (0.147 kg ha-1), and

Weed Science, 2023 AbstractThe occurrence of weeds is one of the main factors limiting agricultural productivity. Studies on new techniques for the identification of these species can contribute to the development of proximal sensors, which in the future might be coupled to machines to optimize the performance of species-specific weed management.

Taxonomic Significance of Karyomorphology in Ipomoea spp.
CYTOLOGIA, 1992 In all, ten Ipomoea spp. have been karyomorphologically analysed. The data from the present studies analysed in terms of chromosome number, absolute chromatin length, centromeric index, T. F. % and representative chromosome types tend to indicate the various degrees of overlap establishing close relationships between the species.
