Topic: Charlock


In the News (Sun 27 Dec 09)

  
  180
Charlock is a frequently occurring weed of oilseed rape in the UK, and as a Brassica, there are limited opportunities for its control in the crop.
The glucosinolate glucosinalbin is absent from the glucosinolate profile of pure rapeseed, whereas it is the predominant glucosinolate in charlock seed, allowing the occurrence of this glucosinolate to be used as an indicator of charlock contamination.
Although it seems that the occurrence of charlock plants in the field may not necessarily lead to significant seed contamination, it would still be prudent to control charlock to prevent build up of seed and to select seed for farm-saving, particularly from spring varieties, from fields which have low numbers of charlock plants.

 Charlock - Weed information - HDRA Weed Management
Charlock can appear on land that has been under grass leys for decades when it is ploughed for the first time.
Management: Control is aided by avoiding the return of fresh seed to the land at crop harvest and the subsequent re-introduction of charlock seed in crop seed, straw and farmyard manure.
Where land is infested with charlock the soil may be cultivated at regular intervals to stimulate and kill successive flushes of charlock seedlings.

Charlock and Merlin reconstruct Iolanthe as a bionic robot, but she seems, in her new condition, to be far more human than her once-live original.
Her and Julian's Fall-the word deserves the capital letter-provides Charlock and the other employees of the firm with the freedom they were otherwise unable to achieve, and at the end Felix, the creator-inventor, destroys the old covenant which had bound Merlin's employees, and hence all mankind.
When Charlock, for example, even though married to Julian's sister Benedicta, attempts to resign, his attempted escape is thwarted, and he is jailed in a company-controlled asylum.

 GM crops created superweed, say scientists
Since charlock seeds can remain in the soil for 20 to 30 years before they germinate, once GM plants have produced seeds it would be almost impossible to eliminate them.
Although the government has never conceded that gene transfer was a problem, it was fear of this that led the French and Greek governments to seek to ban GM rape.
But government scientists had thought that GM oilseed rape and charlock were too distantly related for it to occur.

The cross-fertilisation between GM oilseed rape, a brassica, and a distantly related plant, charlock, had been discounted as virtually impossible by scientists with the environment department.
The new form of charlock was growing among many others in a field which had been used to grow GM rape.
What is not clear in the English case is whether the charlock was fertile.

 UCR researchers determine genetic origin of California wild radish
California wild radish is a genetic fusion of the cultivated and weedy varieties, thriving along California's coast as well as in the inland valley.
Bearing a mixture of white, purple, pink, bronze and yellow flowers, all of the plants are uniformly intermediate between the cultivated radish and jointed charlock in root size and shape.
In their research, the UCR scientists performed an extensive survey of wild radishes throughout California, cultivated radish varieties, and samples of jointed charlock from outside of California.

Morley: Researchers from the Centre for Hydrology and Ecology were commissioned by Defra to monitor for gene flow between the GM crops grown in the farm-scale evaluations and wild plants.
The researchers reported the possible finding of a single hybrid between oilseed rape and the wild plant charlock (the scientists were unable to confirm that it was in fact a hybrid).
This was to be expected as I am advised that even if a hybrid charlock plant existed it would be unlikely to produce fertile seed and would not persist.

 Dragon Warrior Walkthrough/FAQ - IGN FAQs
This man was one who hated such peace and prosperity, and he distanced himself from everyone by deciding to settle in the castle of Charlock, on an island to the southeast of Tantegel.
This castle had been ruined for years, as the swamp steadily engulfed the land around it with a stench of death and decay.
Then, they withdrew, heading back to Charlock Castle, and they destroyed the bridge behind them, so that no one could follow them (as if anyone would want to anyway, right?) Soon after, the Dragonlord utterly destroyed the town of Hauksness, which was situated in the Domdora desert, far to the southwest of Tantegel.

London, July 26, (Guardian News Service): Modified genes from crops in a GM crop trial have transferred into local wild plants, creating a form of herbicide-resistant "superweed".
The cross-fertilisation between GM oilseed rape and a distantly related plant, charlock, had been discounted as virtually impossible by scientists with the British government's environment department.
But Dr Johnson said: "There is every reason to suppose that the GM trait could be in the plant's pollen and thus be carried to other charlock in the neighbourhood, spreading the GM genes in that way.

Drawn into The Firm's cushy embrace is Inventor Felix Charlock, who sees himself as a "thinking weed," a pun on Pascal's definition of man as a "thinking reed." The Firm wants Charlock for his new recording device, which leads to the development of the ultimate computer, Abel.
As the plot unfolds, Charlock marries Benedicta, the boss's daughter and the lady of the shotgun.
Life for Charlock is reduced to a finite game that, like ticktacktoe, is impossible to lose once the rules have been learned.

 GM Crops Lead to Herbicide-Resistant “Superweed” in UK (by Roddy Scheer)
British agricultural scientists have found that a genetically modified (GM) variant of rapeseed has cross-fertilized with local wild charlock plants, creating a herbicide-resistant “superweed” in the process.
What especially worries environmentalists is that because millions of charlock seeds can remain in the soil for 20-30 years before germination, it would be nearly impossible to remove any of the genetically modified strains.
Potential problems such as these are what led many other European Union representatives, especially the French and Greek delegations, to seek an outright ban on GM rapeseed.

It was previously thought that the weed, charlock, would not be able to interbreed with genetically altered oilseed rape plants.
Environmentalists said the discovery of the superweed showed there would be serious consequences if GM crops were allowed to be grown commercially, as farmers would be forced to use even more herbicide to stop charlock and other resistant weeds from taking over the field.
He added that the PCR test used was so sensitive it may have picked up pollen from the GM plants on the leaf of the charlock, producing a false positive result.

Unlike these two butterflies it rarely chooses garden cabbages to lay its eggs on, preferring wild crucifers.
The eggs are laid singularly on a wide range of foodplants including Hedge Mustard Sisybrium officinale Garlic Mustard Alliaria petiolata, Cuckooflower Cardamine pratense, Water-cress Rorippa nastutium-aquaticum, Charlock Sinapis arvensis,Large bitter-cress Cardamine amara, wild cabbage Brassica oleracea and wild Radish Raphanus raphanistrum and so it is rarely a pest in gardens.
It is often found feeding on the same plant as the Orange Tip but never competes for food because it only feeds on the leaves whereas the Orange Tip caterpillar feeds on the flowers and developing seed pods.

In the UK, a follow up study on the FSE sites in the UK detected a single charlock plant that was apparently a hybrid between a herbicide tolerant canola and charlock.
It is also known that charlock and canola can cross at even lower frequencies, but that the progeny are frequently sterile.
After establishing that the charlock plant did indeed contain the bar gene, the scientists went back to the site where the resistant charlock plant had occurred and collected charlock seed.

Researchers at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Dorset, UK, tested the herbicide glufosinate ammonium on plants in fields previously sowed with oilseed rape modified to carry a gene conferring resistance to the herbicide.
But a single charlock plant carried on growing happily, raising fears that the gene for herbicide resistance had crossed over to the charlock and created a herbicide-resistant strain.
Gene transfer has been shown in the lab to be possible between GM oil seed rape — Brassica napus — and a closely related species, field mustard Brassica rapa.
