When a sweet corn breeder reached out in 2021 to report severe injury from the herbicide tolpyralate, Marty Williams hoped it was a fluke isolated to a single inbred line. But two years later, after methodical field, greenhouse, and genetic testing, his new Pest Management Science study not only confirms sensitivity to tolpyralate in 49 sweet corn and field corn lines, but also reveals a new genetic vulnerability that may affect corn more generally.

Many bacteria have proteins that give them the ability to sense light, including some types that can't photosynthesize light into energy. Iowa State University researchers have discovered some bacteria that grow on plants and in soil use that light-sensing capacity to anticipate and prepare for an imminent and potentially deadly loss of water.
