An experiment was undertaken in gnotobiotic microcosms to determine the role of buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and a phenanthrene-degrading bacterium (strain PM600) in the degradation of phenanthrene. The Gram-negative bacterium was identified as a Sphingomonas sp. by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and as S.

Genetic Diversity among Pentaploid Buffelgrass Accessions
Crop Science, 2015ABSTRACTBuffelgrass [Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link (syn. Cenchrus ciliaris L.)], an important pasture and range grass in the arid semi‐tropics and tropics, has excellent drought‐tolerance but lacks winter hardiness. It is a polymorphic, apomictic species and its most common chromosome number is 2n = 4x = 36.

Performance of Buffelgrass Germplasm with Improved Winter Survival
Agronomy Journal, 1996AbstractLack of winter hardiness in buffelgrass [Cenchrus ciliaris L.; syn. Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link] currently limits the utilization of this species in Texas and northern Mexico. This study was conducted to assess differences in field survival and yield potential of buffelgrass germplasm believed to have increased levels of winter hardiness.

Facultative Apomixis in Buffelgrass1
Crop Science, 1980We studied embryo sac morphology, chromosome number, reproductive behavior, and phenotype of buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) line 18‐35 to obtain further evidence regarding the occurrence of facultative apomixis in the species. Line 18‐35 is an F1 llne derived from a cross of obligately sexual TAM‐CRD B‐Is with an apomictic plant from Africa. Within

Isolation of candidate genes for apomictic development in buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare)
Plant Molecular Biology, 2007Asexual reproduction through seeds, or apomixis, is a process that holds much promise for agricultural advances. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying apomixis are currently poorly understood. To identify genes related to female gametophyte development in apomictic ovaries of buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link), Suppression Subtractive ...

Control of Ergot in Buffelgrass with Triadimefon
Plant Disease, 1991The systemic fungicide triadimefon was tested for its ability ergot in buffelgrass at concentrations of 0.00375, 0.0075, or 0.015% a.i., applied at the rate of 1 L/80 cm 2 clump of grass, with spray application frequencies of twice per week, once per week, and once every 2 wk.

Buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris) Responses to Tebuthiuron
Weed Science, 1983Tebuthiuron (N-[5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiozol-2-yl]-N,N′-dimethylurea} pellets (20% ai) applied at 0.6, 1.1, or 2.2 kg ai/ha in the spring at two locations and in the fall at a third location on the South Texas Plains did not significantly decrease buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliarisL.

Response of Kleingrass and Buffelgrass to Herbicides1
Agronomy Journal, 1980AbstractKleingrass and buffelgrass are sometimes difficult to establish in the field from seeding because of poor seedling vigor and severe competition from weeds. Greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate the tolerance of kleingrass (Panicum coloratum L. ‘Selection 75’) and buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.

Conversion of Thornscrub to Buffelgrass Pasture in Northwestern Mexico: Microclimatic Consequences
Journal of Arid Environments, 2016Abstract Buffelgrass ( Pennisetum ciliare ) have been planted in large areas of northwestern Mexico for cattle grazing. Previous studies have documented how buffelgrass conversion affects several ecological processes; however, very few studies have documented how conversion affects local microclimate.

Nutrient Intake of Range Sheep on a Buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris) Pasture
Small Ruminant Research, 1995This study was conducted to estimate and compare the organic matter (OM), energy and mineral intakes of grazing lambs in a buffelgrass pasture during 1 year. Vegetation in the study area (10 ha) consisted mainly of buffelgrass (70% of covered area) and shrubs such as blackbrush (Acacia rigidula), palo verde (Cercidium macrum) and cenizo (Leucophyllum ...
