Ecological selection forces for weedy and domesticated traits have influenced the evolution of seed shape in Setaria resulting in similarity in seed shape that reflects similarity in ecological function rather than reflecting phylogenetic relatedness. Seeds from two diploid subspecies of Setaria viridis, consisting of one weedy subspecies and two races of the domesticated subspecies, and four o...

The effect in alcoholic extract of Bark of Albizzia lebbeck was studied for antifilarial activity using Setaria cervi (S. cervi) worm procured from the freshly slaughtered buffalo.We used the whole worm (w.w.) preparation and nerve muscle (n.m.) complex of Setaria cervi (S. cervi). The n.m. complex is made by stripping the cuticle of the worm. The effect was stimulant in nature in both the prep...

Mountain pastures dominated by the pasture grass Setaria sphacelata in the Andes of southern Ecuador are heavily infested by southern bracken (Pteridium arachnoideum), a major problem for pasture management. Field observations suggest that bracken might outcompete the grass due to its competitive strength with regard to the absorption of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). To understand ...

Abstract Tolpyralate is an herbicide that usually mixed with atrazine for broad-spectrum weed control in corn. Previous research has provided information on the effective dose (ED) of tolpyralate applied alone and a 1:33.3 mixture atrazine; however, commercially at 30 to 40 g ai ha −1 minimum 560 atrazine. Therefore, five field trials were conducted over 3 yr (2019 2021) determine ED complement...

Alfalfa is one of the most important perennial fodder crops, and it also economical. provides first class that suitable for feeding all livestock, especially ruminants. Grass broadleaf weeds are a serious threat to quality viability alfalfa stands. Weeds can reduce nutritional value crop cause significant reductions in yield, as they compete aggressively water, nutrients, sunlight, space. In th...

As an ancient cereal of great importance for dryland agriculture even today, foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is fast becoming a new plant genomic model crop. A genotypic analysis of 250 foxtail millet landraces, which represent 1% of foxtail millet germplasm kept in the Chinese National Gene Bank (CNGB), was conducted with 77 SSRs covering the foxtail millet genome. A high degree of molecular ...

Although the origin and domestication process of foxtail millet (Setaria italica subsp. italica (L.) P. Beauv.) has been studied by several groups, the issue is still ambiguous. It is essential to resolve this issue by studying a large number of accessions with sufficient markers covering the entire genome. Genetic structures were analyzed by transposon display (TD) using 425 accessions of foxt...
