Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 3, Page 561-574, June 2026.ABSTRACT This study estimated the repeatability of forage traits in 84 Paspalum nicorae ecotypes using six statistical methods and quantified the minimum number of harvests needed for effective selection. Multivariate analyses based on best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) values were also performed to assess genetic variability, identify key traits ...

Diversity of fungal endophytes associated with Rwandan Brachiaria ecotypes (Brachiaria spp)
, 2020 Brachiaria species are important tropical forage grasses of East Africa origin. It is known to produce palatable and nutritious biomass for livestock, enhances nitrogen use efficiency, sequesters carbon and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Despite significant potential of this grass; no information available on endophytic fungal associated with ...

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Cellular damage caused by changes in temperature and osmolarity during cryopreservation primarily results in excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These damages compromise the plasma membrane and reduce sperm fertility. Antioxidants help mitigate these effects.

Meiotic behavior of Brachiaria decumbens hybrids
Genetics and Molecular Research, 2015 Brachiaria decumbens is a forage grass of inestimable value for livestock in Brazil due to its production of good quality forage even when planted on acid and poor soils, although it is susceptible to pasture spittlebugs. Only one cultivar, cv. Basilisk, has been used as the pollen donor in crosses with Brachiaria ruziziensis since 1988 at Embrapa Gado

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Intercropping cereals with non‐food intercrops (NFICs) provides a means to enhance cereal productivity while providing additional benefits such as improved soil health or forage production. We conducted a meta‐analysis to investigate the effect of NFICs on cereal yields, cereal nitrogen uptake, and striga (Striga spp.) infestation, using 874 ...

Meiotic analysis in induced tetraploids of Brachiaria decumbens Stapf
Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2011 The meiotic behavior of three tetraploid plants (2n=4x=36) originated from somatic chromosome duplication of sexually reproducing diploid plants of Brachiaria decumbens was evaluated. All the analyzed plants presented abnormalities related to polyploidy,
