The results showed that GA3, concentrated sulfuric acid, KNO3, NaOH and temperature treatments all could promote the germination of E. crus-galli seeds, but there were great differences in the promoting effect. Seed soaking with 1 000-1 500 mg/L of GA3 for 24 h and seed soaking with concentrated sulfuric acid for 15-20 min all maintained the germination rate of E. crusgalli seeds higher than 70.0%; 1.5% NaOH made the germination rate of E. crusgalli seeds up to 93.7%, but higher-concentration NaOH significantly reduced the germination rate of E. crus-galli seeds; KNO3 treatment showed certain promoting effect on germination of E. crus-galli seeds, but the effect was not ideal, i.e., the germination rate was lower than 35.5%; 20-25 ℃ temperature treatment could effectively promote the germination of E. crus-galli seeds, and the germination rate ranged from 68.2% to 75.8%.展开更多

This fungus causes leaf blight in Echinochloa species, but does not damage rice. Phytotoxicity of the fungal fermented broth was evaluated through the bioassay and the active ingredients were preliminarily isolated by using silica gel column chromatography （CC） in this study. The most active fraction 5-Ⅲ was obtained and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry （GC-MS）. The results show that 5-Ⅲ consisted of many compounds, in which 36 compounds accounted for 94.24% of total peak area. Di-n-butyl phthalate （DBP） displayed the highest activity accounted for 9.24% of the total peak area, suggesting that DBP may be one of the main active compounds produced by E. monoceras.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

[Method] The effects of spores and crude toxins of HGE, as well as the mixture of spores and crude toxins on the activity of defensive enzymes in barnyardgrass were determined under laboratory conditions. [Result] Spores and crude toxins of HGE had varying degrees of effects on PAL and POD activity, and no obvious effect on SOD activity in barnyardgrass. In addition, spores and toxins had some similar im- pacts on the defensive enzymes in barnyardgrass. [Conclusion] Since toxins have similar effects on the hosts as spores of fungal pathogen do, they can be a substi- tute for the fungal pathogen in studying the partial pathogenic mechanism of this pathogen due to its complexity in pathogenic process.展开更多

Here its potential alternative hosts were surveyed and identified from 2008 to 2013 in the main rice-growing regions in China. Two common weeds in paddy fields, Digitaria sanguinalis Scop. and Echinochloa crusgalli （L.） Beauv., were found to present the similar symptoms to smut diseases in a few individuals in 2012 and 2013 in Zhejiang and Sichuan provinces of China, respectively. After the examinations of the spore morphology, their infection and extension mode in hosts, pathogen cell wall components, and molecular identification, the two pathogens were identified to be the Basidiomycetes, Ustilago syntherismae and Ustilago trichophora, respectively. So far there has been no alternative host of V. virens to be identified in China. These suggest that the alternative hosts of V. virens, if they do exist, are not possible to play an important role in the pathogen life cycle and the disease epidemics.展开更多

In a choice experiment between Digitaria ciliaris and the rice plants, both T. caelestialium and S. rubrovittatus adults that were reared on D. ciliaris plants showed significant initial preference for D. ciliaris over rice. In a choice experiment between Echinochloa crus-galli var. aristata and rice plants, T. caelestialium adults reared on E. crus-galli var. aristata strongly preferred E. crus-galli var. aristata over rice throughout the experiment. However, at and after 24 h, T. caelestialium adults reared on rice showed no food preference, although T. caelestialium initially preferred E. crus-galli var. aristata. In contrast, S. rubrovittatus adults reared on rice showed no preference between E. crus-galli var. aristata and rice. However, S. rubrovittatus reared on E. crus-galli var. aristata initially preferred E. crus-galli var. aristata to rice, with this preference waning with time. The same results were obtained for both sexes. Although the effect of experience differed with food source and the species of mirid bug, prior experience initially had a noticeable effect, which disappeared with time (1 d).展开更多

Glyphosate applied at 450 g·ae·ha<sup>ˉ1</sup> controlled velvetleaf 90% to 98%, common ragweed 80% - 97%, common lambsquarters 91% - 99%, Eastern black nightshade 83% - 100% and barnyardgrass 73% - 97% in corn and common ragweed 37% - 89%, common lambsquarters 39% - 98%, barnyardgrass 90% - 98% and green foxtail 91% - 98% in soybean. The addition of AMS to glyphosate applied at 450, 675 or 900 g·ae·ha<sup>ˉ1</sup> provided little to no added benefit for the control of velvetleaf, common ragweed, common lambsquarters, Eastern black nightshade, barnyardgrass and green foxtail in corn and soybean. There was a greater benefit in weed control efficacy by simply adding and equal dollar value of glyphosate (406 g·ae·ha<sup>ˉ1</sup>) than AMS (2.5 L·ha<sup>ˉ1</sup>) to glyphosate. There was no difference in corn or soybean yield among the herbicide treatments evaluated. Based on these results, addition of AMS to glyphosate at rates evaluated had little benefit on weed control efficacy or yield of corn and soybean.展开更多
