The mission of the IPK Gatersleben, a Leibniz Institute, is to conduct basic and applied research in the area of plant genetics and crop plant research. The results of this work are not only of significant benefit to plant breeders and the agricultural industry, but also to the food, feed, and chemical industry. An additional research area, the use of renewable raw materials, is increasingly gaining in importance. ... [Information of the supplier]
The IRRI Library is responsible for maintaining the Rice Bibliography. Whereas the library catalogue contains a large collection of books and journals of interest to scientists researching rice or rice-related topics, the Rice Bibliography is a comprehensive bibliography of all books and articles directly pertaining to rice. It endeavours to include all articles and books relating to rice in the world, and is the world's largest and most complete source of scientific information about rice with almost 8,000 new references added each year. All articles pertaining to rice are sought out for the Rice Bibliography and IRRI Library acquires copies of the article whether or not it holds the particular serial in its collection. Over the years the Rice Bibliography has been mounted on a total of four software packages. The version on the screen before you contains references from 1970 onwards. Older references, a few going back to the mid-18th century, are available for searching at IRRI Library. ... [Information of the supplier]
The SoyBase web presence offers a comprehensive spectrum of data and tools for research on the soya bean, Glycine max. It integrates genetic and molecular-biological resources that are particularly relevant to the use of the soya bean. The data are organised primarily in the form of maps (Genetic Map, Physical Map, Sequence Map). ... [Editorial staff vifabio]
Svensk Kulturväxtdatabas (SKUD) is a national reference network for data about Swedish cultivated plants. Svensk Kulturväxtdatabas registers information about Swedish cultivated plants, their names, and their properties. A particular focal point of this database is the description of nomenclatural and taxonomic relationships. ... [Information of the supplier, translated and modified]
The purpose is the creation of a comprehensive computer supported decision/help system for pharmacotherapy and clinical toxicology. At present, CliniPharm/CliniTox has the following components: 1) an animal medicine compendium for Switzerland; 2) specialist information about therapeutic substances; 3) CliniTox, a computer supported decision/help system for the management of cases of poisoning in animals (incl. a poisonous plant database that contains, besides relevant veterinary medical data, botanical information as well as pictures of the individual plants. Because of the multilingual nature of Switzerland the plants can be searched for not only by their scientific names, but also by their common German, French, Italian, and English names.) ...

Das GIFTPFLANZEN.COMpendium will Ihnen einige Giftpflanzen vorstellen, wobei ein bewußt ausschweifendes, mit zahlreichen Exkursen versehenes Konzept gewählt wurde. Sie sollen ebenso Informationen über die Definition von Gift, über andere Gefahrstoffe als Gifte, über die chemische Zeichensprache und über Maßnahmen bei Vergiftungen erhalten. Die systematische Einteilung der Pflanzen, die Unterteilung der Pflanzengifte, Möglichkeiten des Bezugs von Pflanzen, Besichtigungsmöglichkeiten in Botanischen Gärten und ein kommentiertes Literaturverzeichnis mit Bestellmöglichkeit beim Buchhändler Amazon.de sollen weiterhelfen, Ihr Wissen (nicht nur) über Giftpflanzen zu komplettieren. Welche Informationen Sie dem GIFTPFLANZEN.COMpendium letztendlich entnehmen, bleibt natürlich Ihnen überlassen. Sie werden auch genügend Informationen über den Eisenhut erhalten, ohne sich mit der Pflanzensystematik oder der chemischen Zeichensprache beschäftigen zu müssen. Andererseits soll Ihnen jedoch die Möglichkeit gegeben werden, zumindest einen Einstieg in komplexere Sachverhalte zu gewinnen. ... [Information des Anbieters]
The Former Soviet Union has a rich agricultural heritage. In 2003 our project set out to develop a Russian-English Agricultural Atlas that covers the area of the Former Soviet Union. Scheduled to be completed in 2009, the Atlas will illustrate the historic distribution of economic plants and their pests in this important region of the world. The Atlas is being compiled by a team of Russian scientists who are reviewing historic and current literature, herbarium specimens, and seed and insect collections. The Atlas will be released on a CD-ROM and will be interactive; consisting of maps, biological descriptions, illustrations and reference lists that can be queried and combined with our built-in user-friendly GIS interface. ...

Welcome to University of Wisconsin's Weeds Information website. Weeds are defined as undesirable plants or plants that oppose the management objectives of the land. This project conducts research and education activities designed to provide useful information to the public that is specific to weedy plants of the midwest, specifically Wisconsin. Perennial pepperweed (Lepidium latifolium L.) is an invasive creeping herbaceous perennial weed first found in Wisconsin in 2007. This plant is a member of the mustard family and is capable of invading pastures, alfalfa fields, roadsides and many other upland sites, as well as riparian areas, drainage ditches, floodplains, and wetlands. Plants emerge early in the spring, forming a rosette that persists for several weeks. By late spring, plants bolt and produce a flowering shoot. After seed production, flowering shoots die back, although in moist soils new rosettes can emerge in the fall. Select the type of weed you are trying to identify. You may change your choice of weed type, or restart the ID process at any time. BROADLEAF: These herbaceous (non-woody) plants typically produce noticeable flowers. Leaves are often broad with netted veins, but they may also be narrow and veinless. GRASSLIKE: These herbaceous (non-woody) plants lack noticeable flowers. The leaves are ribbon-like with parallel veins, and are often tightly rolled. WOODY: Trees, shrubs, and sub-shrubs with obvious woody stems that persist year after year. ...

The XIV International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds will take place from 2nd to 7th March 2014 in Kruger National Park, South Africa, at the Nombolo Mdhuli Conference Centre, Skukuza. South Africa has a long history of biological control of weeds, and celebrates its centenary during 2013 after beginning in 1913 with the highly-successful introduction of a cochineal insect against a prickly pear cactus, Opuntia monacantha. Over the ensuing 100 years some 73 plant species have been targets for biological control. Agents have become established on 48 of the targeted species and South Africa remains committed to expanding this area of research. To celebrate this historical occasion, we look forward to hosting a gathering which will bring together world leaders in the field, to share experiences and exchange knowledge in a congenial corner of our country. The symposium will provide an opportunity for delegates to present novel research on all aspects of biological weed control and to discuss the way forward for the discipline. Kruger National Park was established in 1898 and is the flagship of the South African National Parks. It covers an area of nearly 2 million hectares and is home to a wide range of species including 507 birds, 336 trees, 147 mammals and 114 reptiles. Skukuza is the largest camp in Kruger, situated in the southern part of the park on the banks of the Sabie River. For more information visit: www.sanparks.org.za/parks/kruger ...
