Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate plantgrowth promoting traits in native and arsenic (As) highly-resistant bacterial strains isolated from the rhizosphere of soybean (Glycine max) plants grown in an ...

Twenty-two amino acid substitutions at seven conserved amino acid residues in the acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) gene have been identified to date that confer target-site resistance to AHAS-inhibiting herbicides in ...

A common feature in plants that are exposed to gradual stressful environmental factors is the development of a level of resistance to such constraints, which sometimes protects against different stressful environmental ...

BACKGROUND: The effect of plant size (seedlings versus young plants versus adult plants) on the phenotypic level of glyphosate resistance and selection intensity (SI) in Sorghum halepense with and without a reduced glyphosate ...

Aiming to evaluate the effect of different temperatures of storage and bean genotypes, Phaseolus vulgaris L., on the expression of resistance to the bean weevil, Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say), tests were carried out with ...

The bean weevil Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say, 1831) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) is one of the most serious pests of stored beans worldwide because of the damage it causes to grains within warehouses. The use of resistant ...

Host-plant resistance can affect herbivorous insects and their natural enemies such as parasitoids and entomopathogenic fungi. This tritrophic effect acts on interspecific interactions between the two groups of natural ...

Since the beginning of agriculture, crops have been exposed to recurrent invasion by weeds that can impose severe reductions in crop quality and yield. There have been continuing efforts to reduce the impacts of weeds on ...
