Limited sex differences in plastic responses suggest evolutionary conservatism of thermal reaction norms: A meta-analysis in insects. [PDF]
Evol Lett, 2022 Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...

Circle-seq analysis reveals the involvement of eccDNAs in salt stress response of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) [PDF]
BMC GenomicsExtrachromosomal circular DNAs (eccDNAs) have been identified in a wide variety of plant species and play a pivotal role in genomic plasticity, emerging as key drivers of stress adaptation.

Biology and Management of the Bermudagrass Mite, Eriophyes cynodoniensis
EDIS, 2018 The bermudagrass mite, Eriophyes cynodoniensis (Sayed) (Arthropoda: Arachnida: Eriophyidae), also known as the couch grass mite, can be a serious pest of bermudagrass in multiple high-maintenance turf systems such as sod production, athletic fields, and

Effect of antecedent drought stress on spring green‐up in turf‐type bermudagrasses
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 6, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Winterkill is a major concern for turf‐type bermudagrasses [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. and C. dactylon (L.) Pers. × C. transvaalensis Burtt‐Davy] when cultivated in the US transition zone and frequently occurring drought conditions challenge bermudagrass management.

Development of winter hardy, fine‐leaf zoysiagrass hybrids for the upper transition zone
Crop Science, Volume 62, Issue 6, Page 2486-2505, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract A 10‐yr, four‐phase collaborative effort among three universities was conducted to develop new hybrid zoysiagrasses (Zoysia spp. Willd.) with improved turf quality, winter hardiness, and pest resistance in comparison to commercial zoysiagrass cultivars, especially ‘Meyer’ (Z. japonica Steud.).

Drought response of 10 bermudagrass genotypes under field and controlled environment conditions
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 5, Issue 4, 2022., 2022 Abstract Fresh water scarcity is increasingly affecting urban landscapes, and the best strategy for sustaining the turfgrass industry would be to create, select, and use drought‐resistant genotypes. Bermudagrasses (Cynodon spp.) have different mechanisms to survive drought stress either by growing long roots, stomatal regulation, or accumulating ...

Development of novel perennial Sorghum bicolor × S. propinquum hybrids
Crop Science, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 863-872, March/April 2020., 2020 Abstract Sorghum species provide a unique opportunity to develop perennial cropping systems due to their interspecific hybridization compatibility and phenotypic plasticity from annual to perennial life cycle. Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench is a diploid (2n = 2x = 20) annual species that does not produce rhizomes, whereas Sorghum propinquum (Kunth) Hitchc.

Risk to sustainability of pest management tools in peanut
Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 5, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Abstract A diversity of pests can adversely affect peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) yield, quality, and financial return. Farmers rely heavily on applied chemicals to suppress many of the economically important pests present in peanut. The effectiveness of this approach to pest management may not be sustainable, however, due to evolved resistance in pests ...
