Screening of plant growth-promoting traits in arsenic-resistant bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of soybean plants from Argentinean agricultural soil
(Springer, 2012-12)
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 ...
AHAS herbicide resistance endowing mutations: Effect on AHAS functionality and plant growth
(Oxford University Press, 2010-09)
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 ...
Water-stress-induced thermotolerance of photosynthesis in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) plants: The possible involvement of lipid composition and xanthophyll cycle pigments
(Elsevier, 2012)
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 ...
The role of plant size in the selection of glyphosate resistance in Sorghum halepense
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-11)
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 ...
Effect of storage temperature and bean genotypes on the resistance to Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say) (Coleoptera : Bruchidae)
(Entomological Soc Brasil, 2004-05-01)
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 ...
Characterization of resistance to the bean weevil Acanthoscelides obtectus Say, 1831 (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) in common bean genotypes
(Springer, 2017-12-01)
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 ...
Influence of plant resistance at the third trophic level: Interactions between parasitoids and entomopathogenic fungi of cereal aphids
(1998)
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 ...
Experimental methods for estimation of plant fitness costs associated with herbicide-resistance genes
(Weed Science Society of America, 2015-01)
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 ...
