[ "Growers watch fields for resistant weeds\n\nBob Scott and Chris Tingle | Feb 14, 2003\n\nApproximately 75 percent of the soybeans grown in Arkansas are Roundup Ready. ", "This is around 2.5 million acres. ", "The percentages of acres that are Roundup Ready in other states, have not risen to quite this level.", "\n\nThe reason for the large number of acres in Arkansas is the genuine need for the technology. ", "Palmer amaranth and common cocklebur long ago developed resistance to herbicides such as Scepter and Classic in the state. ", "Arkansas also has documented populations of Prowl/Treflan-resistant pigweeds and goosegrass.", "\n\nCouple that with a long growing season, plenty of rain or irrigation, crop rotational issues and a large soil bank of weed seeds and you have a perfect fit for using Roundup Ready soybeans and glyphosate.", "\n\nHowever, considering the history of herbicide resistance, it seems only a matter of time until the Roundup technology meets a fate similar to herbicides that have come (and gone) before.", "\n\nHerbicide resistance builds up over time when the same herbicide is used again and again to control weeds. ", "It works a lot like natural selection. ", "You kill all the susceptible weeds and somewhere out there in the field a lone plant survives. ", "This plant has a unique enzyme system or some other trait that allows it to withstand the herbicide application.", "\n\nIt goes to seed. ", "Some of its progeny have the same trait. ", "When the same herbicide with the same mode of action is used again, it is not effective on these plants. ", "With continued use of this product, the resistant population continues to build and eventually takes over the field. ", "At this point the herbicide that used to work so well is no good, at least on that weed.", "\n\nWith other modes of action this process has taken as little as seven years. ", "So the question keeps coming up at grower meetings this spring — “When will we get resistance to Roundup?” ", "You might already have it.", "\n\nSeveral species of weeds have already been documented with glyphosate resistance. ", "In Australia, some ryegrass has been found to be resistant to glyphosate and several other herbicide families and Roundup-resistant goosegrass has been documented in the Northeastern United States.", "\n\nProbably the most famous weed in the Delta right now is glyphosate-resistant marestail or horseweed. ", "In Tennessee where no-till cotton is grown, resistant horseweed populations have grown significantly over the last three or four years.", "\n\nA few suspicious fields have been tested and observed in Arkansas, but there have been no documented cases yet.", "\n\nThe 2.5 million acres of Arkansas Roundup Ready soybeans get treated one or two times with glyphosate in crop. ", "Some possibly get a burndown application of glyphosate followed by two in-crop glyphosate treatments. ", "In addition, we have conventional burndown acres, Roundup Ready cotton, and Roundup Ready corn which all receive at least one application of glyphosate.", "\n\nIt would be safe to say that over 4 million acres are treated with glyphosate annually in Arkansas. ", "To say the least, this is a tremendous amount of selection pressure. ", "In the past, it was believed that due to the complex enzyme system that glyphosate interacts with, the buildup of resistance would be unlikely. ", "However, the recent development of resistant weeds in the field and subsequent lab studies show that resistance can happen.", "\n\nAlso, there are theories that “weed shifts” and not resistance will be the first real challenge for the soybean technology. ", "This is similar to the shift in perennial weeds that is observed when fields go from conventional tillage to no-till. ", "The bottom line is that no matter how resistance develops, once you have it you need new technology.", "\n\nThe most disturbing thing for soybean weed control is that companies are not looking very hard for new soybean herbicides right now. ", "If widespread resistance were to happen today, we would have to rely on old chemistry coming back into play.", "\n\nWhat can you do to prevent resistant weeds from building up on your farm? ", "The most obvious thing is rotate chemistry. ", "In other words, do not use glyphosate for a season or at least for one of your applications. ", "I suggest using paraquat (Gramoxone) as a burndown in place of Roundup, for example.", "\n\nHowever, you have to make sure that the herbicide that you switch to is not the same mode of action. ", "For example, switching from Roundup to Touchdown would not be changing your mode of action. ", "You would still be putting the same selection pressure on your farm.", "\n\nAnother option is going back to conventional soybeans. ", "Although the yield gap is now almost gone, there are still some very high-yielding conventional soybean varieties out there and the cost of many conventional herbicides has gone down.", "\n\nMany conventional herbicides are still not as economical as glyphosate, but compared to what you used to pay, they are cheaper.", "\n\nMany herbicide resistance strategies involve simply tank-mixing glyphosate with another herbicide. ", "This is fine for the management of a specific weed problem. ", "However, in the grand scheme of things, you are still applying the same selection pressure on your farm again and again. ", "So tank-mixing is better than nothing, but still promotes resistance.", "\n\nRoundup Ready soybeans and Roundup herbicide offer the most economical and broad-spectrum weed control ever available for soybean farmers. ", "In all probability, we will continue to use this technology as much as possible until resistance does develop.", "\n\nIt is unlikely that widespread rotation of chemistry and crops will be utilized to prevent the buildup of resistant weeds. ", "In the words of several growers, “It is just too good and too cheap not to use.”", "\n\nOne thing we can do is to watch our fields very closely and report any suspicious weeds that survive one or more applications of glyphosate. ", "Prior to any re-treatment, these weeds should be sampled and studied. ", "If you suspect that a weed or weed population has survived a glyphosate application that in the past has controlled that weed, please contact your county agent.", "\n\nBob Scott is the University of Arkansas Extension weed specialist.

", "Four *At*AMI1-orthologous, namely *Os*AMI1 (*O.sativa*), *Sb*AMI1 (*S.bicolor*), *Mt*AMI1 (*M.truncatula*), and *Pt*AMI1 (*P.trichocarpa*), were selected and closely analyzed.", "\n\nTaking an*in vitro* approach, it was possible to provide evidence for their capability of converting auxin precursors like IAM, but also PAM, to naturally occurring auxins ([Figure 5](#plants-03-00324-f005){ref-type=\"fig\"}, [Table 1](#plants-03-00324-t001){ref-type=\"table\"}). ", "Our results infer that an amidase-dependent auxin biosynthesis pathway is likely to be widely established in plants to produce auxins. ", "Intriguingly, our experiments revealed a specificity of the compared enzymes for PAM ([Figure 5](#plants-03-00324-f005){ref-type=\"fig\"}), which is a biosynthetic precursor of PAA, described to be endogenous to *P.mungo* \\[[@B42-plants-03-00324],[@B43-plants-03-00324]\\]. ", "PAA has been demonstrated to be endogenous to *A. thaliana* ([Figure 7](#plants-03-00324-f007){ref-type=\"fig\"}, [Table 2](#plants-03-00324-t002){ref-type=\"table\"}), while we were not able to quantify PAM in the same plant with the equipment available in this study. ", "Our findings confirm previous studies, which demonstrated that PAA is an endogenous constituent of many plant species including *P.mungo* \\[[@B45-plants-03-00324]\\], *S.lycopersicum*, *N.tabacum*, *Z.mays* \\[[@B4-plants-03-00324]\\], and *T.majus* \\[[@B5-plants-03-00324]\\].", "\n\nPAA has long been known to trigger auxin-like effects (e.g., the initiation and stimulation of adventitious root growth \\[[@B62-plants-03-00324],[@B63-plants-03-00324]\\]), although with considerably lower activity relative to IAA \\[[@B64-plants-03-00324],[@B65-plants-03-00324]\\]. ", "Nevertheless, PAA may act as an effective auxin under some developmental circumstances, emphasized by the observation that it was more efficient in lateral root formation in pea seedlings than IAA \\[[@B66-plants-03-00324]\\].

", "A comparable protection mechanism for the defense against microbial pathogens could also be effective in plants.", "\n\nIt is generally accepted that the major portion of physiologically active auxin is produced via the indole-3-pyruvic acid-pathway \\[[@B9-plants-03-00324],[@B10-plants-03-00324]\\]. ", "On the basis of our results, however, we suggest that IAM/PAM-amidohydrolases may also contribute to auxin biosynthesis, most likely in a pathway parallel to the main route. ", "Genetic work from Zhao and coworkers \\[[@B70-plants-03-00324]\\] highlights a possible role for an IAM hydrolase-dependent IAA biosynthesis, as they demonstrated that *yuc* double and triple mutants were rescued by the tissue specific co-expression of a bacterial tryptophan 2-monooxygenase (iaaM), but not by exogenous application of auxin. ", "The authors claim that iaaM converts tryptophan to IAA once it is expressed in plants. ", "This statement is, however, not entirely correct because several studies clearly showed that overexpression of iaaM (e.g., in petunia) produced very high levels of IAM in these mutants \\[[@B71-plants-03-00324],[@B72-plants-03-00324]\\]. ", "While IAM contents in control lines were determined to be \\<1 pg/g fresh weight, the IAM levels reached 2.8 up to 25 μg/g fresh weight in leaf tissue of transformed plants. ", "In addition, it has been shown that the petunia plants transformed with the *p19S*::*iaaM* construct also contained around 11- to 12-fold higher IAA levels, which implicates the action of downstream acting indole-3-acetamide hydrolases, functionally homologous to the bacterial iaaH enzyme, capable of converting the accumulated IAM to IAA. ", "Thus, effective conversion of IAM to IAA in the *yuc* mutants co-expressing the *iaaM* gene, but no additional *iaaH* gene, is implicated. ", "Alternatively, it may be concluded that IAM by itself, or any other compound that is produced from IAM is responsible for rescuing the *yuc* phenotype. ", "Most intriguingly, it has recently been shown that YUC6 is capable of converting not only IPyA to IAA, but to also accept phenyl pyruvate as substrate to produce PAA \\[[@B73-plants-03-00324]\\].

", "I work on British colonialism, modernism, postcolonial/global literature, and the digital humanities.", "\n\nTuesday, April 20, 2004\n\nA Small Defense of Northrop Frye: 'Plasmatic' literature, and the Creature/Creator distinction\n\nNOTE: I've modified and corrected the entry below a bit since originally posting it.", "\n\nNorthrop Frye is one of the key members of the earlier generation in literary criticism, though his works have lately vanished from the syllabi of graduate seminars in today's Ph.D. programs. ", "He is best known for his book The Anatomy of Criticism (1957), as well as his theory of \"archetypes,\" though he wrote many other books, including one I've been reading recently, The Secular Scripture (1976).", "\n\nFrye is sometimes associated with the movement known as the New Criticism, since he is roughly contemporary with the famous critics of that era -- Frank Kermode, Cleanth Brooks. ", "But his work really aimed to move away from the debates about taste that were prevalent in the New Criticism, and towards a more democratized approach to literature as an expression of myth. ", "The New Critics had an obsession with the originality of the poetic voice, wherease Frye believed that literature is the product at least of a 'literary society', if not society in general (the latter would be the view currently held by most contemporary literary critics).", "\n\nI am not by any means trying to make a conservative gesture, where I would hold up Frye as somehow right about everything, only we no longer believe him. ", "Rather, I think his work might benefit from being read freshly, without the baggage of the culture wars or the radicalism of deconstruction.", "\n\nFrye merits respect, but critical respect. ", "Though contemporary critics are often derided for their dependence on jargon, one learns by reading Frye that jargon is nothing new -- Frye peppers his works with difficult Greek terms: mythoi, dianoia, kerygmatic. ", "Frye claimed to be using a \"scientific\" method in his critical theory, and argued in The Anatomy of Criticism that there is an observable order to literature as a whole: \"just as there is an order of nature behind the natural sciences, so literature is nota piled aggregate of 'works,' but an order of words.\" ", "However, if one attempts to read his work after The Anatomy of Criticism carefully, one sees a style of writing that is more anecdotal than methodical. ", "The school of criticism called \"structuralism,\" which peaked in the mid-1960s, was in fact much closer in its method to hard science.", "\n\nThe Hopkins Guide To Literary Theory has the full text of a greatly helpful essay by Richard Stingle on the evolution of Frye's work, including summaries of the arguments of his various books as well as a detailed engagement with Frye's life-long obsession with Blake. ", "However, the best account of Frye's career can be found in the first chapter of Frank Lentricchia's After the New Criticism.", "\n\nHere let me invoke just two small points in Frye's The Secular Scripture that I have found intriguing. ", "One is a distinction Frye makes between properly religious epic and what he calls romance:\n\nThe secession of science from the mythological universe is a familiar story. ", "The separating of scientific and mythological space began theoretically with Copernicus, and effectively with Galileo. ", "By the nineteenth century scientific time had been emancipated from mythological time. ", "But in proportion as the mythological universe becomes more obviously a construct, another question arises. ", "We saw that there is no structural principle to prevent the fables of secular literature from also forming a mythology, or even a mythological universe. ", "Is it possible, then, to look at secular stories as a whole, and as forming a single biblical vision? ", "This is the question implied in the ‘secular scripture’ of my title. ", "In the chapters that follow I should like to look at fiction as a total verbal order, with the outlines of an imaginative universe in it. ", "The Bible is the epic of the creator, with God as its hero. ", "Romance is the structural core of all fiction: being directly descended from folktale, it brings us closer than any other aspect of literature to the sense of fiction, considered as a whole, as the epic of the creature, man’s vision of his own life as a quest.", "\n\nThough many have attempted to argue that romance is in some way a descendent of religious narratives, Frye makes the case that the two are really separate. ", "Frye's insistence on this separation -- which is a predecessor of the high-culture/low-culture distinction that still exists in literature today -- runs throughout The Secular Scripture, as it does through several of his other works. ", "Contrary to expectation, Frye is primarily interested in the low mode of literature, the small epic of the \"creature\" rather than the big epic of the \"creator.\" (", "A knowledge of Latin verb forms is also helpful here, for the \"creature\" derives from the past participle, suggesting it is the object of creation, in contrast to the \"creator\" who is the subject.) ", "For Frye, literature is secular not because it is written by non-believers, but because all major literary forms derive from the realm of folktales and folk culture, which predate the Church, and which have survived outside of religious institutions for millenia.", "\n\nThis interest in high (religious) narrative and popular (folk) romance leads to a second distinction, between the real world and the world of fiction and myth. ", "In the world of fiction, truth and falsehood are irrelevant. ", "What is needed is a term to describe literary mimesis, and Frye comes up with one in 'plasmatic':\n\nGreek critics distinguished verbal structures as true, false, and plastic, or more accurately plasmatic, the presenting of things as they conceivably could be. ", "Truth and falsehood are not literary categories, and are only approximately even verbal ones. ", "For the literary critic, at all events, everything in words is plasmatic, and truth and falsehood represent the directions or tendencies in which verbal structures go, or are thought to go. ", "This leads to a general distinction between serious and responsible literature on the one hand, and the trifling and fantastic on the other.", "\n\nHere what seems to be a second distinction is really another version of the first: plausible stories are seen as respectable, while fantastic tales are 'low'. ", "But isn't \"serious and responsible\" a secular analogue for 'sanctioned by the church'? ", "So what emerges is a mirror of the first break. ", "Again, one respectable (plasmatic) style of storytelling would seem to be the more valuable, but Frye's imagination leads us inevitably to the trifling and fantastic tales. ", "The latter spring without mediation from the human imagination, and Frye finds them fascinating.", "\n\nNo comments:\n\nLinks, Selected Posts\n\nAmardeep Singh, Associate Professor of English at Lehigh UniversityOn Twitter\n\nI have been working on several digital projects in Scalar. ", "All three are currently in progress as of summer 2017.", "\nOne is digital archive I am calling \"The Kiplings and India.\" ", "Working with a team of graduate research assistants, we have been building the site in Scalar here. ", "Feedback welcome; it's a work in progress.", "\n\nI have also been working on a Digital Collection called \"Claude McKay's Early Poetry (1912-1922)\" This project began as a collaborative class project called \"Harlem Echoes,\" a digital edition of Claude McKay's \"Harlem Shadows.\" ", "The new version of the project is much-expanded, including McKay's early Jamaican poetry as well as his uncollected political poetry from magazines like The Liberator and Workers Dreadnought." ]
