Precise transcript targeting using RNAi for weed control

Precise transcript targeting using RNAi for weed control

Abstract: Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a natural post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) system of eukaryotic cells and can be used as spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) to target...

I am thrilled to share our latest paper, exploring the evolution of seed shattering in cultivated and weedy rice from a morphological perspective. Thoroughly examining morphology can provide insights that genetics alone cannot easily offer. Read it! @JXBot doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erae221
Comparative histology of abscission zones reveals the extent of convergence and divergence in seed...

Population-level morphologies of the abscission zone, a crucial structure for seed dispersal, converge among high shattering weedy rice groups, but diverge

I´m thrilled to share our last ms about the origin of weedy rice in Argentina in @molecology with @gabyplantbio, María Crepy, @AnaCaicedoS @SamuelTabbs, @GIRCS1 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Introgression from local cultivars is a driver of agricultural adaptation in Argentinian weedy rice

Introgression from local cultivars is a driver of agricultural adaptation in Argentinian weedy rice

Weedy rice, a pervasive and troublesome weed found across the globe, has often evolved through fertilization of rice cultivars with little importance of crop-weed gene flow. In Argentina, weedy rice...

Imagine using something like a RAT test in the field to test for herbicide resistance 🌱🧪 Agros in the UK can already buy one of these to determine if blackgrass has a particular resistance gene and then choose an appropriate herbicide. Read more ➡️ buff.ly/3qG9GpV
