The interaction of free-living amoeba with rice bacterial and fungal pathogens
Free-living amoebae are ubiquitous microbes found in the soil and water across the globe. Amoebae live a predominantly heterotrophic lifestyle – preying on a variety of organisms including bacteria, fungi and even other ... -
The genetics and genomics of herbicide resistant Kochia scoparia L.
Weed genomics resources lag behind other plant biology disciplines despite larger annual crop losses occurring due to weeds than to plant pathogens or invertebrate pests. To date only a handful of weed genomes are assembled, ... -
Exploiting rice diversity to uncover durable and broad-spectrum resistance
Rice is the staple food for human consumption and feeds over half the world's population. Major constraints towards a sustainable productivity of this cereal are losses caused by bacterial diseases, such as bacterial blight ... -
Native bee watch: assessing the efficacy of a citizen science project monitoring native bees in Fort Collins, Colorado
As the world's human population continues to grow, urban areas continue to expand, and natural spaces become more fragmented leading to dilution and loss of natural resources. Of the organisms that depend on natural ... -
Phenotypic plasticity in the response of sorghum to water stress and recovery indicates pre-flowering drought tolerance

Revision of Paralobesia (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) and screening aid development for pest management
The moth genus Paralobesia consists of 18 described and several undescribed species. All but three are Nearctic, present in North America and northern Mexico, with P. andereggiana (Herrich-Schäffer) present in the Palearctic ... -
Soil microbial community dynamics associated with agricultural crops
It could be argued that the sustainability of agriculture hinges on our ability to understand and manage the interactions that occur between agricultural crops and microbial communities that reside in the soil. Soil microbes ... -
Endothall behavior in five aquatic weeds
Endothall is one of the original aquatic herbicides being primarily to control submersed plants since 1960. Endothall is considered a contact herbicide, in a chemical class of its own, it is a serine/threonine protein ... -
Molecular genetics of herbicide resistance in Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri): metabolic tembotrione resistance and geographic origin of glyphosate resistance
Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) is a major weed in U.S. cotton and soybean production systems, partly because it evolved resistance to five different herbicide modes of action. Resistance to the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate ... -
Evaluation of factors that contribute to the expansion and control of brassica insect pests in northern Colorado
Human modifications to landscapes in agricultural areas can both eliminate and create new habitat for various organisms. One of the ways that sites are modified is by creating changes in plant communities. These can occur ... -
Holomorphology and systematics of the eastern Nearctic stonefly genus Remenus Ricker (Plecoptera: Perlodidae)
The holomorphology of the eastern Nearctic stonefly genus Remenus Ricker is reviewed using scanning electron microscopy, color photomicrographs and COI DNA barcodes. Examination of all life stages has resulted in new ...
