Authors: Chris C R Smith, Loren H Rieseberg, Brent S Hulke, Nolan C Kane Publication Date: September 8, 2020 Abstract: Alternative spicing is an integral part of gene expression in multicellular organisms that allows for diverse mRNA transcripts and proteins to be produced from a single gene. However, most existing analyses have focused on macro-evolution, […]
Authors: Stephan Reinert, John H. Price, Brian C. Smart, Cloe S. Pogoda, Nolan C. Kane, David L. Van Tassel & Brent S. Hulke Publication Date: July 20, 2020 Abstract: De novo domestication has received recent attention because of the potential to produce new crop species with additional agroecosystem functions and useful products for climate-resilient agricultural

Kane, Brent S. Hulke Publication Date: July 16, 2020 Abstract: Host-microbe interactions are increasingly recognized as important drivers of organismal health, growth, longevity, and community-scale
Adam R. Wronski, Jarrad R. Prasifka, Michael S. Grove, Brady D. Koehler, Christopher G. Misar, William Underwood, Brent S. Hulke Abstract: The banded sunflower moth is one of the most pervasive insect pests of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) in North America, in large part due to its ability to overwinter in cold climates. The goal
Michael G. DeGreef, Jarrad R. Prasifka, Brady D. Koehler, Brent S. Hulke Abstract: Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), as a native crop, has numerous insect pests that cause economic damage to producers in the United States. The red sunflower seed weevil is a notable seed‐infesting insect pest throughout the U.S. sunflower growing region that is controlled

Jarrad R. Prasifka, and Brent S. Hulke Abstract: Extracts from capitate glandular trichomes (CGT) of wild and cultivated sunflowers, Helianthus spp., have repellent or toxic effects on sunflower specialists and generalist herbivores less closely associated with sunflower. Though CGT have been primarily examined for their potential to provide partial resistance to the sunflower moth, Homoeosoma electellum Hulst
Russell Gesch, Brent Hulke, James Anderson Abstract: In the northern Great Plains and upper Midwestern U.S., incorporation of winter-hardy crops and cover crops as components of integrated weed management systems is gaining popularity as an approach for managing the spread of herbicide resistance. However, to develop new rotational cropping systems suitable to these regions there
Reinert, S., Qing-Ming Gao, Ferguson, B., Zoe M. Portlas, Jarrad R. Prasifka, Brent S. Hulke. Abstract: Seed size is an important quality component in marketing commercial sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), particularly for the in-shell confectionery market, where long and broad seed types are preferred as a directly consumed snack food globally. Floret size is also important
Stephan Reinert, David Van Tassel, Brandon Schaultman, Nolan Kane, Brent Hulke Abstract: Silphium spp. have garnered interest in Europe as a bioenergy crop and in North America as a perennial oilseed crop. However, very little has been done at this early stage of domestication to characterize wild collections for many key characteristics, including important oilseed
