Molecular Biology of Weed Control
Jonathan Gressel
- 28 Mar 2002
TL;DR: The vast commercial effort to utilize chemical and molecular tools to solve weed control problems has had a major impact on the basic biological sciences as well as benefits to agriculture, and the first generation of transgenic products has been successful, while somewhat crude more sophisticated products are envisaged and expected.
Assessment of genetic and functional diversity of phosphate solubilizing fluorescent pseudomonads isolated from rhizospheric soil
TL;DR: A high degree of functional and genetic diversity among the phosphate solubilizing fluorescent pseudomonad bacteria is revealed, considered to play a vital role in plant growth promotion, disease suppression and subsequent enhancement of yield.
Molecular biology of weed control.
Jonathan Gressel
- 01 Jan 2002
TL;DR: Molecular tools should be considered for weed control without the use of, or with less chemicals, whether by enhancing crop competitiveness with weeds for light, nutrients and water, or via allelochemicals.

Formulation of a Streptomyces Biocontrol Agent for the Suppression of Rhizoctonia Damping-off in Tomato Transplants
TL;DR: Formulations of a Streptomyces biological control agent for Rhizoctonia damping-off in tomato seedlings were developed for the first time from vegetative propagules obtained from actively growing, nonsporulating liquid cultures and the talcum powder formulation delivered to tomato seeds as a seed-coating was the most effective biocontrol treatment.

Anhydrobiosis in nematodes: Evaporative water loss and survival
John H. Crowe,K. A. C. Madin +1 more
TL;DR: A hypothetical scheme for the events of the induction of anhydrobiosis and recovery is presented and the proportion of animals recovering in water that will survive rapid dehydration decreases with the time they are in water.
Prospects for the biological control of silver-leaf nightshade, Solanum elaeagnifolium, in Australia
TL;DR: It is suggested that the herbivores associated with the weed would not be sufficiently climatically adapted to the summer-drought, cereal-growing areas of southern Australia most heavily infested by the weed, to control it there.
Gene cluster of Pseudomonas syringae pv. "phaseolicola" controls pathogenicity of bean plants and hypersensitivity of nonhost plants.
TL;DR: Structural analysis of pPL6 and the wild-type genome indicated that the 17- and 5-kilobase EcoRI fragments were contiguous in the strain NPS3121 genome, suggesting that genes affected by the insertions were clustered.
A strategy for evaluating the safety of organisms for biological weed control
TL;DR: It is shown that the strategy would have included Sesamum tndicum in the list of plants challenged by the bug Teleonemia scrupulosa in biological testing for control of Lantana camara, thereby forewarning of the attack that was subsequently observed in Africa.
