maternally-induced modification of progeny phenotypes in the c4 weed echinochloa crus-galli: an analysis of seed constituents and performance.	to clarify the physiological basis of maternal inheritance we examined the effect of the thermal environment of mother plants of echinochloa crus-galli on subsequent seed mass, content and quality. the same plants were grown in a warm and a cold environment until seeds were produced and, since e. crus-galli is a highly inbred species, the observed variation in seed production was a purely plastic response to the environment. when mother plants were grown at high temperature, average seed mass, v ...	1993	28313439
asparagus decline: autotoxicity and autotoxic compounds in asparagus rhizomes.	asparagus (asparagus officinalis l.) is a perennial vegetable, but its crop productivity and quality decrease gradually. one possible reason for "asparagus decline" is thought to be the autotoxicity of asparagus. however, the autotoxic property of asparagus rhizomes remains unknown. the objective of this study was to determine the potential role of rhizomes in the autotoxicity of asparagus. an aqueous methanol extract of asparagus rhizomes inhibited the growth of asparagus seedlings and six othe ...	2017	28314158
synergetic effect of rhamnolipid from pseudomonas aeruginosa c1501 and phytotoxic metabolite from lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae c1136 on amaranthus hybridus l. and echinochloa crus-galli weeds.	rhamnolipid (rh) is a biosurfactant produced by the bacterial pseudomonas aeruginosa. this present study investigates rhizospheric strain c1501 of p. aeruginosa with an accession number kf976394 with the best production of rhamnolipid: a biosurfactant. the partially purified rhamnolipid from strain c1501 and tween 80 was tested on mycelial growth of wild strain c1136. the enzyme activities involved in biodegradation, as well as necrosis induction on the tested weeds, were performed using scannin ...	2017	28397123
