Homecoming of Brachiaria: improved hybrids prove useful for African animal agriculture [PDF]

, 2014
Species of the genus Brachiaria originate primarily from Africa, where they are constituents of natural grasslands. Due to their adaptation to acidic, low-fertility soils, millions of hectares of Brachiaria species have been sown as improved pastures in ...

Population structure and genetic diversity of Brachiaria grass (Urochloa spp.) accessions from the Democratic Republic of Congo using DArTseq single nucleotide polymorphism markers

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract Brachiaria grass (Urochloa spp.) is one of the key forage grasses utilized in sub‐Saharan Africa for improving livestock productivity, particularly in terms of milk production and feed sufficiency. Limited information on its genetic resources has hindered its breeding and conservation strategies.

Nitrification Inhibitors from the Root Tissues of Brachiaria humidicola, a Tropical Grass [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2007
Nitrification inhibitory activity was found in root tissue extracts of Brachiaria humidicola, a tropical pasture grass. Two active inhibitory compounds were isolated by activity-guided fractionation, using recombinant Nitrosomonas europaea containing luxAB genes derived from the bioluminescent marine gram-negative bacterium Vibrio harveyi.

Cell fusion and cytomixis during microsporogenesis in Brachiaria humidicola (Poaceae)

South African Journal of Botany, 2006
AbstractDuring cytological analysis of microsporogenesis in 28 polyploid accessions of Brachiaria humidicola (Poaceae) from the Embrapa Beef Cattle germplasm collection for breeding purposes, cell fusions were recorded in two accessions and chromosome transfer among meiocytes in one of them.

Synthesis, function, and genetic variation of sorgoleone, the major biological nitrification inhibitor in sorghum

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
Abstract Sorghum is the third most important food crop, grown on nearly 40 million ha globally, and is known for its resilience under unfavorable conditions. Sorghum is reported to have a strong biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) capacity in root systems, a plant function that suppresses soil nitrifier activity, which in turn prevents the ...

IMPACT OF FOREST CONVERSION TO PASTURE ON SOIL ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY IN THE NORTHERN AMAZON

Revista de Agricultura Neotropical
The conversion of forests to pastures in the Amazon results in deforestation and the loss of environmental services. This practice affects biogeochemical cycles and impairs soil enzyme activity, which is essential for maintaining soil quality.
