To study transient tissue specific linalool emission and to examine its fate, plastid targeted dual linalool/nerolidol synthase (FaNES1) was introduced into Nicotiana benthamiana leaves under LTP1, SUC2, RbcS and CaMV35 promoters. Tissue specificity of the pr…

Special xylem tissue called “compression wood” is formed on the lower side of inclined stems when gymnosperms grow on a slope. We investigated the molecular mechanism of compression wood formation. Transcriptome analysis by next-generation sequencing (NGS) wa…

We have investigated a correlation of transcript abundances of key genes that influence the quality of wood and flavonoid biosynthesis, such as the two p -hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA:quinate shikimate p -hydroxycinnamoyl transferase ( HCT ) and the two chalcone synt…

Glyphosate resistant (GR) Canada fleabane has spread quickly across southwestern Ontario and new strategies for the control of this competitive weed must be developed especially in no-tillage crops. A premix of 2,4-D choline and glyphosate dimethylamine (DMA)…

Fifteen field experiments were conducted from 2009 to 2012 in Ontario, Canada and Michigan, USA to determine the tolerance of corn ( Zea mays L.) to early (spike or 1- to 2-leaf stage) or late (8- or 10-leaf stage) applications of 900, 1800, 3600, or 7200 g &…
