Sandbur Drought Tolerance Reflects Phenotypic Plasticity Based on the Accumulation of Sugars, Lipids, and Flavonoid Intermediates and the Scavenging of Reactive Oxygen Species in the Root. [PDF]
The perennial grass Cenchrus spinifex (common sandbur) is an invasive species that grows in arid and semi-arid regions due to its remarkable phenotypic plasticity, which confers the ability to withstand drought and other forms of abiotic stress. Exploring the molecular mechanisms of drought tolerance in common sandbur could lead to the development of ...

Selection and plasticity both account for interannual variation in life-history phenology in an annual prairie legume. [PDF]
Our study is a phenotypic selection analysis of total lifetime fitness in a natural selective prairie environment. We compare the predicted and observed phenotypic response, taking care to account for the effect of year‐to‐year variation. We observe a change in mean flowering time that is consistent with the direction of selection when accounting for ...

Pest categorisation of non-EU Cicadomorpha vectors of Xylella spp. [PDF]
Abstract The Panel on Plant Health performed a group pest categorisation of non‐EU Cicadomorpha vectors of Xylella spp. known to be associated with plant diseases. Although all the insects considered in this categorisation are proven vectors of Xylella spp., additional vectors within the order Hemiptera most probably exist but have not been associated ...

Aspirin resistance and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis: current situation and prospectives. [PDF]
Aspirin plays a crucial physiological and pathophysiological role in cardiovascular diseases and cerebrovascular diseases by irreversibly inhibiting thromboxane A2. However, some patients may be “resistant” to its effect. The resistance has close association with adverse cardiovascular outcomes and increased mortality, so that resolving the problem of ...

The Profertility and Aphrodisiac Activities of Tribulus terrestris L.: Evidence from Meta‐Analyses
Tribulus terrestris L. (TT) is a traditional medicinal plant, which belongs to the Zygophyllaceae family. TT extracts have been widely used for diuretic, analeptic, aphrodisiac, and profertility properties. To quantitatively evaluate the profertility and aphrodisiac effects of Tribulus terrestris L., we undertook the present meta‐analyses on published ...

Abstract Integrating cover crops (CCs) into dryland crop rotations could provide options for herbicide‐resistant (HR) weed control in no‐tillage (NT) systems. Field experiments investigated weed suppression potential of spring‐planted CCs and their effects on plant available water, crop yields, and net returns. The CC treatments were implemented during

Auxin‐based herbicide program for weed control in auxin resistant soybean
Abstract Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars resistant to synthetic auxin herbicides have provided another mode of action for the postemergence broadleaf weed control. This field study was conducted at three South Dakota locations [Northeast, NERF; east‐central, ARF; and Southeast, SERF) in 2019 and two locations (ARF and SERF) in 2020.

Assessing forage bermudagrass cultivar tolerance to glyphosate application
Abstract In‐season weed control with glyphosate could be a feasible option if bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] tolerance to glyphosate was better understood. The objective of this study was to evaluate the tolerance of bermudagrass cultivars ‘Goodwell’ and ‘Greenfield’ to varying glyphosate rates under controlled environment. The experimental
