Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated how exogenous methyl jasmonate (MeJA) affects the resistance of two types of barnyardgrass—resistant and sensitive—against the herbicide quinclorac, finding that MeJA boosted resistance in the resistant biotype but had no effect on the sensitive one.
  • - There were notable differences in hormone levels (IAA, ABA, SA, JA) in the plants, with quinclorac increasing ABA, SA, and JA, particularly in sensitive biotypes, indicating a strong hormonal response to the herbicide.
  • - Ultimately, the findings suggest that the varied hormonal responses in sensitive and resistant barnyardgrass influence their herbicide resistance, with ABA and JA playing key roles in how these plants adapt

This study aimed to investigate the effects of different barnyardgrass varieties on yield formation of rice. A Japonica rice cultivar, Nanjing 9108, was used and co-cultured with three barnyardgrass varieties from transplanting to maturity under different nitrogen (N) levels of 0, 120, 240, and 360 kg N·hm, taking baynyardgrass free as control. The three barnyardgrass varieties were Echinochloa crusgalli var.

In order to investigate the influence of different barnyardgrass species on rice yield and physiological characteristics of rice, two rice cultivars, Liangyoupeijiu (an indica hybrid cultivar) and Nanjing 9108 (a japonica cultivar) , were employed to co-culture with four barnyardgrass species during the period from transplanting to maturity under alternate wetting and moderate drying ir- rigation condition. The treatments were separately designed as follow: weed free ( control) , rice with Echinochloa crusgalli var. mitis (T1), rice with E.

In order to investigate effects of different barnyardgrass species on growth and yiled of rice, two rice cultivars, Xinliangyou 6 hao (an indica hybrid cultivar) and Nanjing 46 (a japonica cultivar), were co-cultured with four barnyardgrass species grown at a density of six plants · m(-2) from 10 days after transplanting to maturity. The treatments were designed as follow: weed free (control), rice with Echinochloa crusgalli var. mitis (T1), rice with E.
