The highest resistant population was Geqiushan R with RI 125.45 resulted from the seed assay and 87.29 resulted from the whole plant bioassay followed by 853 R with RI 2.79 resulted from the seed assay and 6.04 resulted from the whole plant bioassay. The resistance level of other nine populations was low with RI 1.13-2.61 resulted from the seed assay and 1.48-3.63 resulted from the whole plant bioassay. The activity of an important metabolic enzyme glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) and three protective enzymes (SOD, POD, and CAT) were determined in vivo for Geqiushan R, 853 R, and Wudalianchi R. Compared with the S controls, the activities of POD in Geqiushan R, GSTs in 853 R, and Wudalianchi R were increased.展开更多

A total of 95 germplasm lines representing global collection were evaluated in two rainy seasons at Almora,Uttarakhand, India for qualitative and quantitative traits and the data were subjected to multivariate analysis. High variation was observed for days to maturity, five-ear grain weight, and yield components. The first three principal component axes explained 73% of the total multivariate variation. Three major groups were detected by projection of the accessions on the first two principal components. The separation of accessions was based mainly on trait morphology. Almost all Indian and origin-unknown accessions grouped together to form an Echinochloa frumentacea group. Japanese accessions grouped together except for a few outliers to form an Echinochloa esculenta group. The third group contained accessions from Russia, Japan, Cameroon, and Egypt. They formed a separate group on the scatterplot and represented accessions with lower values for all traits except basal tiller number. The interrelationships between the traits indicated that accessions with tall plants, long and broad leaves, longer inflorescences, and greater numbers of racemes should be given priority as donors or parents in varietal development initiatives. Cluster analysis identified two main clusters based on agro-morphological characters.展开更多

[ Method ] Using whole-plant determination method, the resistance of 36 biotypes of barnyard grass to quinclorac in double-harvest rice area in Hunan Province was studied. [ Result ] The biotype collected from Lijiaping Town of Shaoyang County was the most susceptible barnyard grass to quinclerac, and the EC50 value was 70. 253 1 g a. i./hm2 , so it was recognized as the sensitive biotype. The biotypes collected from Caowei Town of Yuanjiang County ( HN3 and HN4 from direct seeding rice fields) and Zhongyukou Town of Nanxian County presented very high resistance to quinclorac ; the ECho values were 1 999. 122 5, 1 664.544 6 and 1 022.739 5 g a. i./hm2, and their resistance indexes reached 28.46, 23.69 and 14.56, respectively, indicating that these throe biotypes hod high level of resistance to quinclo- rac. EC50 values of about 22 biotypes were ranged from 144. 837 3 to 408.289 4 g a. i./hm2, and resistance indexes were ranged from 2.06 to 5.81, indicating that these biotypes hod produced resistance to quinclorac. EC50 values of other 10 biotypes were ranged from 98.032 6 to 138. 660 9 g a. i./hm2, and the resistance in- dexes were ranged from 1.40 to 1.97, indicating that the sensitivity of barnyard grass in these places was decreasing. [ Conclusion] The paper provided guidance for scientific and rational use of quinclorac in paddy fields.展开更多

Beauv.) as well as their safety to rice in rice direct-seeding paddy field, field efficacy experiments were carried out in Taoyuan County and Hanshou County of Hunan Province. The results showed that the control effect of different pesticide treatments on barnyard grass was good, and the control effect reached more than 93%. Of which, 10% metamifop EC 2 250 mL/hm^(2)+20% cyhalofop-butyl OD 1 500 mL/hm^(2)had the best control effect,exceeding 99% and each treatment had no significantly ponisonous to rice. However,considering cost-saving and effect-increasing, it was recommended to use 10%metamifop EC 1 050 mL/hm^(2)mixed with 20% cyhalofop-butyl OD 1 050 mL/hm^(2)for the control of barnyard grass, which not only had the effect of controlling barnyard grass, but also was safety to rice.展开更多

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used to determine the influence of osmotic potential on the bioassay materials. Effect of different concentrations of stem, root, and leaf extracts of rice cultivars on seed germination, radicle and primary shoot length of barnyard grass seedlings, and rate of respiration of root pieces were investigated in the laboratory experiments. Shoot height and dry weight of weed stands were studied in the greenhouse, Also total peroxidase activity, chlorophyll pigment and mitotic index were determined. Results indicated that, among rice cultivars, Mehr, Tarom-mahali, G3, Nemat, and Shahpasand caused the most inhibition effects on investigated factors. Amol-3 showed the least negative effects on growth of seedlings and stands of barnyard grass. In laboratory, the Mehr cultivar demonstrated the maximum inhibitory effects by reducing barnyard grass seed germination percentage (88%), radicle length (100%), primary shoot length (83%), and root respiration (85%) Cell division, expressed as mitotic index, was significantly reduced in the presence of rice aqueous extracts. Mehr cultivar had higher inhibitory effect on mitosis compared to Amol-3. In greenhouse, the same cultivar showed the maximum inhibitory effect by reducing barnyard grass height (45%) and dry weight (64%). With increase in extract concentration, the inhibitory effect increased. Leaf extract from rice plants was more effective compared with the root and stem extracts. Comparison of rice cultivars and PEG indicated that any reduction in germination and growth of barnyard grass using rice extract concentrations of 5% and 10% must have been the result of allelochemicals in the extracts. Lower extract concentrations showed a more pronounced inhibitory effect in the laboratory as compared to the greenhouse studies. These results suggest that rice leaf extracts may be a source of natural herbicide.展开更多
