Fourteen cultivars included in the University of Arkansas Soybean Variety Testing Program were selected for evaluation based on their tolerance to Roundup herbicide (Roundup Ready® or Conventional) and their ability to include or exclude chloride (Table 1). Trials conducted at the Cotton Branch Experiment Station (CBES) near Marianna, Ark., and the Rice Research Extension Center (RREC) near, St...

Making Your Candidate Statement March 31, 3:30-5 p.m., Swede Johnson Building, Room 205, RSVP here[1] Candidates will work in small groups with senior faculty in related fields to discuss sample candidate statements. Candidate statements [2] are vital to outlining the impact of candidates' service, teaching and research. They play an especially important role in documenting the sorts of communi...

Double inoculation of soybean with Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV), a member of the Genus Comovirus, Family Comoviridae, isolates V-S98-1 and V-S98-15, together with Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) a member of the Genus Potyvirus, Family Potyviridae) isolates 2K-38, S98-51 and S98-52, was compared to single inoculation with each of the isolates, on Hutcheson, Hutcheson Roundup Ready® (RR BC3) and Hutch...

The study of combined effects of pesticides represents a challenge for toxicology. In the case of the new growing generation of genetically modified (GM) plants with stacked traits, glyphosate-based herbicides (like Roundup) residues are present in the Roundup-tolerant edible plants (especially corns) and mixed with modified Bt insecticidal toxins that are produced by the GM plants themselves. ...

Glyphosate-based herbicides are among the most widely used pesticides in the world. We compared the acute toxicity of the glyphosate end-use formulation Roundup Original to four North American amphibian species (Rana clamitans, R. pipiens, R. sylvatica, and Bufo americanus) and the toxicity of glyphosate technical, the polyethoxylated tallowamine surfactant (POEA) commonly used in glyphosate-ba...

The health effects of a Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize (from 11% in the diet), cultivated with or without Roundup, and Roundup alone (from 0.1 ppb in water), were studied 2 years in rats. In females, all treated groups died 2-3 times more than controls, and more rapidly. This difference was visible in 3 male groups fed GMOs. All results were hormone and sex dependent, and the patho...

Argentina is the second largest world producer of soybeans (after the USA) and along with the increase in planted surface and production in the country, glyphosate consumption has grown in the same way. We investigated the effects of Roundup (glyphosate formulation) on the periphyton colonization. The experiment was carried out over 42 days in ten outdoor mesocosms of different typology: "clear...
