Development of a rapid detection assay for acetolactate synthase inhibitors resistance in three Amaranthus weed species through loop‐mediated isothermal amplification

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 104, Issue 9, Page 5522-5532, July 2024.
Abstract BACKGROUND The early detection of herbicide resistance in weeds is a key factor to avoid herbicide waste and improve agriculture sustainability.

The Intraplate Stress Field of West Africa

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 11, 16 June 2024.
Abstract West Africa continues to host a growing number of low and intermediate‐magnitude earthquakes (M2‐5) along its passive margins, and its continental interior. Earthquake activity in these regions raises the need to comprehend the causes and the tectonic controls of the seismicity. Unfortunately, such studies are rare.
