Article Synopsis
- Endurance riding is rapidly growing in popularity, but lameness is the main reason horses get eliminated from races, with limited research on the health of endurance horses in South Africa.
- The study aimed to examine the radiographic changes in the forelimb digits and metacarpophalangeal joints of 100 endurance racehorses during the 2018-2019 season.
- Results indicated high rates of hoof imbalances and digital axis issues, but low occurrences of osteoarthritis and chronic laminitis, suggesting the hoof-distal-phalanx-ratio may not be a reliable indicator of laminitis in these horses.
Background: Progress in the field of evolutionary forest ecology has been hampered by the huge challenge of phenotyping trees across their ranges in their natural environments, and the limitation in high-resolution environmental information.
Findings: The GenTree Platform contains phenotypic and environmental data from 4,959 trees from 12 ecologically and economically important European forest tree species: Abies alba Mill. (silver fir), Betula pendula Roth.
Background: The obligatory sunflower root parasite Orobanche cumana Wallr. deprives its host of essential nutrients, resulting in a dramatic reduction in yield and biomass. A post-emergence application with an imidazolinone herbicide on an imidazolinone-tolerant sunflower is highly effective against O.

This important biological role has put HPPD in the focus of current herbicide design efforts including the development of herbicide-tolerant mutants. However, the molecular mechanisms of substrate binding and herbicide tolerance have yet to be elucidated.
