High impact information on Eleusine

• Dinitroaniline herbicide resistance in the invasive weed goosegrass was previously shown to stem from a spontaneous mutation in an alpha-tubulin gene [1].
• Although not direct proof, these results suggest that a mutation in an alpha-tubulin gene confers resistance to dinitroanilines in goosegrass [2].
• Using polymerase chain reaction primer-introduced restriction analysis, we demonstrated that goosegrass genomic DNA can be diagnosed for Drp alleles [2].
• Glyphosate-resistant goosegrass. Identification of a mutation in the target enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase [3].
• Collectively, these results imply that beta-tubulin genes are not associated with dinitroaniline resistance in goosegrass [4].

Biological context of Eleusine

• Alpha-tubulin missense mutations correlate with antimicrotubule drug resistance in Eleusine indica [2].
• Age-related changes in catalase and peroxidase activities in the excised leaves of Eleusine coracana Gaertin. cv PR 202 during senescence [5].
• Moreover, a dinitroaniline-resistant biotype of goosegrass (Eleusine indica (L) Gaertn) with a point mutation in alpha-tubulin showed cross-resistance against CA1 and CA2 [6].

Associations of Eleusine with chemical compounds

• Recently, a glyphosate-resistant biotype of goosegrass (Eleusine indica) was identified in Malaysia exhibiting an LD(50) value approximately 2- to 4-fold greater than the sensitive biotype collected from the same region [3].
• We have tentatively named them 'coeliac immunoreactive proteins'. Another chloroform/methanol oat component shows weak alpha-amylase inhibitory activity and exhibits strong homology (60% identity) at the N-terminus with the alpha-amylase inhibitor from ragi (Eleusine coracana) [7].
• Aspartate aminotransferase from Eleusine coracana, a C4 plant: purification, characterization, and preparation of antibody [8].
• 2'-O-methyl-1-methyl adenosine: a new modified nucleoside in ragi (Eleusine coracana) tRNA [9].
• Sterol lipids in finger millet (Eleusine coracana) [10].

Gene context of Eleusine

• Changes in the activities of the enzymes catalase and peroxidase were studied in the excised leaves of ragi (Eleusine coracana Gaertn. cv PR 202) plants belonging to different ages [5].
• MINEs were found in high copy number in M. grisea isolates from rice (68 copies) and as a single copy in isolate CD156 from Eleusine [11].
• Free and bound phenolic acids were isolated from native and malted finger millet (ragi, Eleusine coracana Indaf-15), and their antioxidant properties were evaluated [12].
• Proteinase inhibitors of finger millet (Eleusine coracana Gaertn.) [13].
• Biophysical characterization of mesophyll and bundle sheath chloroplasts isolated from the leaves of Eleusine coracana, an aspartate-type C-4 plant : Part I. Light absorbing photosynthetic pigment composition [14].
