Design of optimal concentrations for in vitro cytotoxicity experiments Open
Concentration-dependent cytotoxicity experiments are frequently used in toxicology. Although it has been reported that an adequate choice of concentrations improves the quality of the statistical inference substantially, a recent literatur…

Mechanistic Aspects and Effects of Selected Tank-Mix Partners on Herbicidal Activity of a Novel Fatty Acid Ester Open
Only a limited number of contact herbicides exist in agricultural production. While systemic herbicides are more efficient also at suboptimum spray coverage with long-lasting weed control, contact herbicides provide several advantages. The…

What makes a molecule a pre‐ or a post‐herbicide – how valuable are physicochemical parameters for their design? Open
Pre‐emergence herbicides are taken up by seeds before germination and by roots, hypocotyls, cotyledons, coleoptiles or leaves before emergence, whereas post‐emergence herbicides are taken up primarily by foliage and stems. Most modern pre‐…

Capped polyethylene glycol esters of fatty acids as novel active principles for weed control Open
BACKGROUND Ever since the beginning of agriculture, yields have been threatened by weeds. Chemical weed control is far more effective and economical than other methods. The frequent use of herbicides has led to environmental and human heal…

Leaf Open
Grass leaves are arranged in two opposite rows. This distich arrangement is typical of all grasses. The true nature of grass leaves was discussed by botanists for long. Some regard them as modified stems, others attribute a partial stem ch…

Grass Surfaces Open
Some surface features of grasses were already touched in chapter 7 (leaf). Chapter 11 deals with grass surfaces in detail. Light and SEM pictures show different grass trichomes (the indumentum); also, papillae of various species are docume…

Fertilisation and Fruit Development Open
Our knowledge of fertilisation in grasses resulted in the great achievements of the hybrid technology in maize, rice and other grass crops. Increased yields contribute to the high food and feed demand of growing human societies. The organs…
