Carbon and Water Fluxes in an Exotic Buffelgrass Savanna

Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2016
Abstract Buffelgrass savanna is becoming widespread in aridland ecosystems around the world following invasion or deliberate land conversion for cattle forage. There is still a gap of information regarding functional and ecohydrological aspects such as carbon, water, and greenhouse gas exchanges in these highly productive novel ecosystems where ...

Monitoring water stress in buffelgrass using hand-held radiometers

International Journal of Remote Sensing, 1987
Abstract Hand-held MARK-II radiometric measurements were used to monitor levels of water stress in buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) plots. Three levels of irrigation treatments were applied: dry, medium and wet. The radiometric RED (630 to 690 nm) and NIR (760 to 900 nm) measurements obtained from the plots were converted to reflectance factors and ...

Interactions among buffelgrass, phenanthrene and phenanthrene-degrading bacteria in gnotobiotic microcosms

Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A, 2008
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.

Characterization of buffelgrass (Cenchrus Ciliaris L.) cell suspension cultures

In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Plant, 1993
Cell suspension cultures of buffelgrass were established from two types of callus, a friable tan callus and a brown gelatinous callus, using Murashige and Skoog medium containing 13.6 µM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The friable callus formed a rapidly growing suspension culture, designated BG, which had a doubling time of 2.5 days.

Control of Ergot in Buffelgrass with Triadimefon

Plant Disease, 1991
The 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.

Isolation of candidate genes for apomictic development in buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare)

Plant Molecular Biology, 2007
Asexual 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 ...

Climatic Effects on Buffelgrass Productivity in the Sonoran Desert

Journal of Range Management, 1995
Buffelgrass (Cenchrus cilaris L.), a perennial bunchgrass from northcentral Kenya has been successfully seeded on 400,000 ha in northwest Mexico. To determine if carrying capacity increased after buffelgrass introduction we measured live, recent-dead standing, old-dead standing and litter at 2-week intervals for three years.

Response of Kleingrass and Buffelgrass to Herbicides¹

Agronomy Journal, 1980
AbstractKleingrass 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.

Multiple Embryo Sacs in Sexual Buffelgrass Treated with Ammonium Sulfate

Crop Science, 1990
Ovules of sexual genotypes of buffelgrass, Cenchrus ciliaris L., form a single meiotically reduced embryo sac of the polygonum type. In contrast, apomictic lines develop one to several unreduced aposporic sacs which lack antipodals. Seeking chemical means to manipulate embryo sac formation, we watered sexual plants, bearing premeiotic inflorescences ...
