Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) is one of the most troublesome herbicide-resistant weeds worldwide that interferes with rice growth and rice yield. Here we provide the data from a comparative proteomic analysis of leaves in resistant (R) and susceptible (S) biotypes of Echinochloa crus-galli both with and without multi-herbicide treatment in two independent biological experiments using i...

in recent years, symptoms of a viral disease including streak mosaic, leaf blade malformation, and thickness (scrawniness) of raceme have been observed in the vast areas of grain fields in golestan province. in order to identify the causes of this disease, detection of wheat streak mosaic virus (wsmv) in cultivated hosts including wheat, dominant weeds of fields involving barnyardgrass (echinoc...

This study isolated, determined, and quantified plant growth inhibitors in Japanese chestnut (Castanea crenata Sieb. et Zucc), a deciduous species native to Japan and Korea. In laboratory assays, C. crenata leaves showed strong inhibition on germination and seedling growth of Echinochloa crus-galli (barnyardgrass), Lactuca sativa (lettuce), and Raphanus sativus (radish). Laboratory and greenhou...

Two experiments were established in 2003 at the Rice Research and Extension Center near Stuttgart, Ark., to evaluate the potential of penoxsulam (Grasp) as part of a rice weed control program. In experiment one, penoxsulam applied alone and in tank mixtures early postemergence (EPOST) (two-leaf rice, one-leaf grass, two-leaf weeds) was evaluated, and experiment two evaluated penoxsulam applied ...

Echinochloa spp. are the most important weeds in rice fields. In this research Fusarium equiseti and Colletotrichum graminicola were isolated from these weeds and then their pathogenicity effects were compared on these weeds and five rice cultivars in a completely random design with three replications in greenhouse conditions. Fungi were inoculated on weeds and rice cultivars using a spore susp...

Crop productivity is largely affected by abiotic factors such as flooding and by biotic factors such as weeds. Although flooding after direct seeding of rice helps suppress weeds, it also can adversely affects germination and growth of rice, resulting in poor crop establishment. Barnyard grasses (Echinochloa spp.) are among the most widespread weeds affecting rice, especially under direct seedi...

BACKGROUND Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) is an important weed that is a menace to rice cultivation and production. Rapid evolution of herbicide resistance in this weed makes it one of the most difficult to manage using herbicides. Since genome-wide sequence data for barnyardgrass is limited, we sequenced the transcriptomes of susceptible and resistant barnyardgrass biotypes using the 4...

The genus Echinochloa (Poaceae) includes numerous problematic weeds that cause the reduction of crop yield worldwide. To date, DNA sequence information is still limited in the genus Echinochloa. In this study, we completed the entire chloroplast genomes of two Echinochloa species (Echinochloa oryzicola and Echinochloa crus-galli) based on high-throughput sequencing data from their fresh green l...

Chiral 3,3a,5,9b-tetrahydro-2H-furo[3,2-c][2]benzopyrans (TFBs) were synthesized and some of them were found to be herbicidally active against annual paddy weeds through intensive structure–activity relationship studies. These compounds were synthesized from D-glucose, which was used as a natural chiral source. This was the result of a series of studies based on the findings that certain benzyl...

crop rotation is one of the essential practices in sustainable agricultural systems, be-cause of its effects on soil fertility and other benefits including a reduction in weed compe-tition. a field experiment was conducted at chaparsar rice research station, tonekabon, iran, from 2002 to 2003 to assess the influence of crop rotation, time of planting, and till-age depth on rice (oryza sativa l....
