EFFECT OF BUFFELGRASS (CENCHRUS CILIARIS) ON SONORAN DESERT RODENT DIVERSITY AND POPULATION DENSITY

The Southwestern naturalist, 2023
Buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris, syn. Pennisetum ciliare) is exotic to the Sonoran Desert and has caused drastic changes in this ecosystem. Yet, little research has documented the impact of buffelgrass on wildlife in the region, including small mammals ...

Can legume seeds establish after land degradation by buffelgrass? Evidence to initiate restoration in Central Sonora, Mexico

Land Degradation & Development, 2023
Buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare) has been introduced in many localities of northwestern Mexico for cattle grazing. Recent studies have documented how the conversion of natural vegetation to buffelgrass pastures affects several ecological processes that ...

Inheritance of Apospory in Buffelgrass

Crop Science, 1994
Previous studies on inheritance of monopolar (Panicum type) apospory in the Panicoideae resulted in three widely different genetic models and mutually incompatible data sets. We report additional data for tetraploid buffelgrass [Pennisetum ciliate (L.) Link = Cenchrus ciliaris L.] and attempt to reconcile earlier studies.

Habitat thermal quality for Gopherus evgoodei in tropical deciduous forest and consequences of habitat modification by buffelgrass.

Journal of Thermal Biology, 2022
Tortoises of the genus Gopherus evolved in North America and have survived major environmental challenges in the past 40 million years. However, this genus now faces multiple anthropogenic threats, such as the introduction of invasive plant species ...

Apospory‐Linked Molecular Markers in Buffelgrass

Crop Science, 1997
Isolation of a gene controlling apomixis would be useful to plant breeders for fixing hybrid vigor. A single gene encodes for aposporous apomixis in buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare L. Link), which is inherited in a autotetraploid fashion. Only two molecular markers linked to the gene are known: C04‐600, a RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) and ...

Stigma Receptivity and Seed Set in Protogynous Buffelgrass

Crop Science, 2000
Buffelgrass, Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link syn = Cenchrus ciliaris L., is an important warm‐season perennial forage grass that is widely grown throughout the arid tropics. It has perfect florets, and emasculation is thought to be required to produce controlled hybrids. This is a tedious, difficult undertaking because of the small floret size.

Effects of buffelgrass removal and nitrogen addition on soil microbial communities during an extreme drought in the Sonoran Desert

Restoration Ecology, 2021
Buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris), an invasive perennial grass in arid regions of the United States, has drastically modified natural ecosystems. Understanding the aboveground–belowground links between buffelgrass invasion and soil microbial communities ...

Genetic Diversity among Pentaploid Buffelgrass Accessions

Crop Science, 2015
ABSTRACTBuffelgrass [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.

Stamen-specific proteins of buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris)

Journal of Plant Physiology, 1991
Summary Total proteins were extracted from Cenchrus ciliaris L. (buffelgrass) pistils at the stages of megasporogenesis and of embryo sac enlargement and from anthdrs at the stages of microsporogenesis and of uninucleate microspore enlargement. They were analyzad by two-dimensional isoelectric focusing/SDSpolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
