Growth Regulators and Chemicals Stimulate Germination of Leafy Spurge (Euphorbia esula) Seeds (2008)
Baseline information on inducing germination of dormant leafy spurge seeds with growth regulators and chemicals is lacking. This study was conducted to survey the effect of various substances on...
Temperature and Moisture Status Affect Afterripening of Leafy Spurge (Euphorbia Esula) Seeds (2008)
Increasing the germination potential of dormant seeds in a population over time generally requires afterripening. Research was conducted to study the relationship between temperature and seed...

Potential model weeds to study genomics, ecology, and physiology in the 21st century (2005)
Wun S. Chao, Dave P. Horvath, James V. Anderson, Michael E. Foley
Plant model systems have contributed greatly to the dramatic progress in understanding the fundamental aspects of plant biology. Using model weeds will also help facilitate focused funding and...
Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula) seed dormancy (2004)
Leafy spurge is a herbaceous perennial weed that reproduces asexually through adventitious vegetative buds and sexually by seeds. Seeds can remain viable in the soil for up to 8 yr. The objectives of...
Weeds, seeds, and buds—opportunities and systems for dormancy investigations (2002)
Dormancy is a critical factor for the survival and persistence of weedy species. Contemporary approaches can be used to identify genes that regulate dormancy directly or indirectly to elucidate key...

No Latex Starch Utilization in Euphorbia esula L. 1
Nissen, Scott J., Foley, Michael E.
Utilization of leaf, stem, root, and latex starch was monitored in Euphorbia esula L. plants. Leaf, stem, and root starch decreased rapidly during a 52 day light starvation period while latex starch...
Dormancy Genes From Weedy Rice Respond Divergently to Seed Development Environments
Gu, Xing-You, Kianian, Shahryar F., Foley, Michael E.
Genes interacting with seed developmental environments control primary dormancy. To understand how a multigenic system evolved to adapt to the changing environments in weedy rice, we evaluated...
Gu, Xing-You, Kianian, Shahryar F., Foley, Michael E.
Association of seed dormancy with shattering, awn, and black hull and red pericarp colors enhances survival of wild and weedy species, but challenges the use of dormancy genes in breeding varieties...
Gu, Xing-You, Kianian, Shahryar F, Foley, Michael E
Weedy rice has much stronger seed dormancy than cultivated rice. A wild-like weedy strain SS18-2 was selected to investigate the genetic architecture underlying seed dormancy, a critical adaptive...

The qSD12 Locus Controls Offspring Tissue-Imposed Seed Dormancy in Rice
Gu, Xing-You, Turnipseed, E. Brent, Foley, Michael E.
Seed component structures were grouped into maternal and offspring (embryo and endosperm) tissues to characterize a dormancy quantitative trait locus (QTL) for tissue-specific function using a...
