Molecular cloning and characterisation of peroxidases from buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.)

Plant Science, 1995
Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) peroxidase cDNAs were isolated by hybridisation to an oligonucleotide from a conserved region of all plant peroxidases and a peroxidase cDNA clone from wheat. The 36 clones isolated were classified into one homogenous and three apparently heterogenous groups by cross-hybridisation and sequence homologies.

Restoring Degraded Rangelands in Northern Kenya Using Buffel Grass

Abstract— This review paper seeks to explore the potential of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) in the fight against land degradation within arid and semiarid areas of the world, especially Kenya. Soil degradation impacts 1. 5 billion people globally and more than 60% of the Earth’s land surface experience poverty, hunger, and environmental pollution.

Considering the social dimension of invasive species: the case of buffel grass

Environmental Science & Policy, 2011
The status of many invasive plant species that are also of high commercial value is contentious. Management of negative impacts depends on the support and co-operation of people who regard the species as an asset. For example, buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) is highly prized by many pastoralists in Australia as an introduced pasture grass for ...

Buffel Grass Economic Impact Assessment

Buffel grass is a fast-growing plant introduced to Australia to improve pasture productivity, especially in dry regions. However, it has become a serious environmental and cultural threat, particularly in Central Australia. It spreads rapidly, outcompetes native plants, increases fire risk, and damages culturally significant Aboriginal sites.

Agrobacterium-mediated transient GUS gene expression in buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.).

Journal of applied genetics, 2004
The study was conducted to standardize a protocol for Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.). Embryogenic calli, produced from one-year-old mature seeds of buffel grass, were used as target cells for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. A.
