A grazing height target to minimize tiller stem elongation rate in annual ryegrass swards

Ciência Rural, 2016
: Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam) is one of the most cultivated temperate annual forage crop around the world. Despite that, there is little information about the process of stem elongation during its vegetative growth.

Impacts of Rock Mineral and Traditional Phosphate Fertilizers on Mycorrhizal Communities in Pasture Plants

Microorganisms, 2023
Intensive fertilizer use can constrain contributions from soil biological processes in pastures, including those associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi.

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Effects of Coumarin on Rhizosphere Microbiome and Metabolome of Lolium multiflorum

Plants, 2023
Rhizosphere microorganisms can help plants absorb nutrients, coordinate their growth, and improve their environmental adaptability. Coumarin can act as a signaling molecule that regulates the interaction between commensals, pathogens, and plants. In this

Whole Genome Assembly and Annotation of Two Invasive Sitona Species

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Weevils are a highly diversified taxon, comprising about 70,000 described species, including many of high economic importance. Here, we present whole genome assemblies and annotations of two Sitona species (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae).

Selective seasonal foraging behavior of herbivores on a Danish island demonstrated by DNA metabarcoding

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Understanding how herbivores influence plant communities is critical for managing biodiversity and ecosystem functions, particularly in conservation areas undergoing restoration or rewilding, where free‐ranging large herbivores impact the vegetation development.

Interaction among fire and sward height increases leaf nitrogen per unit area of annual ryegrass in subtropical grasslands from southern Brazil [PDF]

Ciência Rural
: Fire is one of the main drivers of vegetation structure from terrestrial ecosystems and its effects on plants allocation resources and biomass are mediated by leaf functional traits. These attributes can provide useful information for future management

No need to seed: restoring species‐rich grassland on former arable fields by natural regeneration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over the last century, agricultural intensification has caused substantial losses of semi‐natural species‐rich grasslands. One means of restoring grassland habitat is to abandon farmed land, followed by mowing and/or grazing of the established vegetation to facilitate meadow diversification. Objectives This study investigated post‐

Loss of Stability for Blood Urea Nitrogen in Cattle Serum Samples Stored for 3 and 6 Months at −20°C and −80°C

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Biological samples are stored for delayed or add‐on analyses. However, storage conditions, including time and temperature, can affect the stability of measurands in the samples. Objectives To assess the stability of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in cattle serum samples.

Genetic inheritance of dinitroaniline resistance in an annual ryegrass population

Plant Science, 2019
The increasing number of weedy species resistant to dinitroaniline herbicides warrants studies on the evolutionary factors contributing to resistance evolution, including genetic inheritance of resistance traits. In this study, we investigated the genetic control of trifluralin resistance in a well-characterised Lolium rigidum Gaud.
