TLDR
The way ahead in bioherbicide research would appear to be the development of consortia or research nodes in which scientists and business people with backgrounds in the discovery, development and commercialization of biopesticides work collaboratively on a number of projects.

The genus Phomopsis: biology, applications, species concepts and names of common phytopathogens

TL;DR: An overview of the current status of the taxonomy in Phomopsis with special reference to biology, applications of various species, species concepts, future research perspectives and names of common pathogens is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioherbicides: Dead in the water? A review of the existing products for integrated weed management

TL;DR: This review is unique because the role of bioherbicides in integrated weed management is discussed, to manage soil weed seedbanks with seed-targeted agents in addition to primary tillage, to increase the efficacy of mechanical weeding and to manage herbicide resistant populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonconventional Weed Management Strategies for Modern Agriculture

TL;DR: In this article, a review of potential nonconventional weed management strategies for modern agriculture that are viable, feasible, and efficient is presented, including harvest weed seed control and seed predation.
Book ChapterDOI

The Bioherbicide Approach to Weed Control Using Plant Pathogens

TL;DR: Bioherbicides are weed-control products derived from living organisms to suppress weed populations and comprise part of this reduced-risk strategy as mentioned in this paper. But, improper herbicide use causes harm to the environment and people.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome sequence of the biocontrol fungus Metarhizium anisopliae and comparative genomics of Metarhizium species

TL;DR: New insight into the possibility of homothallism and RIP affectedness has important implications for the development of M. anisopliae as a biopesticide as it may indicate the potential for greater inherent diversity in this species than the other species.

World Agriculture: Towards 2015/2030: An Fao Perspective

TL;DR: The FAO's latest assessment of the long-term outlook for the world's food supplies, nutrition and agriculture is presented in this paper, where the projections cover supply and demand for the major agricultural commodities and sectors, including fisheries and forestry.

Genomic sequence of the pathogenic and allergenic filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus

William C. Nierman, +120 more
- 22 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: The Af293 genome sequence provides an unparalleled resource for the future understanding of this remarkable fungus and revealed temperature-dependent expression of distinct sets of genes, as well as 700 A. fumigatus genes not present or significantly diverged in the closely related sexual species Neosartorya fischeri, many of which may have roles in the pathogenicity phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stomatal size in fossil plants: evidence for polyploidy in majority of angiosperms

TL;DR: Estimating the genome size of extinct woody angiosperms with the use of fossil guard cell size as a proxy for cellular DNA content suggested that seven to nine is the primitive haploid chromosome number of angios perms and that most angiosPerms (approximately 70 percent) have polyploidy in their history.

New developments in solid state fermentation: I-bioprocesses and products.

TL;DR: SSF processes offer potential advantages in bioremediation and biological detoxification of hazardous and toxic compounds and appear to be a promising one for the production of value-added ‘low volume-high cost’ products such as biopharmaceuticals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient genetic markers for population biology.

TL;DR: Single-locus genetic markers and those that produce gene genealogies yield information that is truly comparable among studies and answer biological questions most efficiently and also contribute to much broader investigations of evolutionary, population and conservation biology.
