The complete chloroplast genome of Cenchrus ciliaris (Poaceae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2018
Cenchrus ciliaris is an important pasture resource for arid region and owing to apomixis, it has been very important for development and distribution of cultivars and agro-types. In present study complete chloroplast genome of C. ciliaris was sequenced. The size of chloroplast genome is 138737 bp length with overall GC content 38.6%.

Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 1121-1144, August 2026.
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Structural and Functional Strategies in Cenchrus Species to Combat Environmental Extremities Imposed by Multiple Abiotic Stresses

Plants
Multiple abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, heat, and cold stress prevailing in natural habitats affect plant growth and development. Different species modify their structural and functional traits to combat these abiotic stresses while growing ...

Meso‐scale avoidance of wind turbines by four raptors at a Kenyan wind farm

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
We fitted Augur Buzzards, African Hawk Eagles, Martial Eagle and Rüppell's Vultures with solar‐powered GPS trackers to study wind turbine avoidance. Meso‐avoidance was seen in all species. Augur Buzzard had the lowest rate at 48.9%, while African Hawk Eagle had the highest at 74.4% within rotor height.

Seed Floras in Seabird Nests and the Possibility of Adhesion to Seabird Feathers via Their Nests

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
Nests are important links between seabirds and plants, and are thought to initiate epizoochory of seabirds. 24 seed species were found in pelagic seabird nests, and 16 species of them had the potential to adhere to seabirds. Our finding indicates an overlooked pathway for the long distance dispersal of plants; epizoochory mediated by nests.

Interannual MODIS NDVI Dynamics of the Grazing Areas Under Variable Precipitation in Northern Sahel

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The Sahel region of sub‐Saharan Africa has suffered from a severe rainfall decline since the mid‐1960s. This study aims to assess the applicability of satellite‐based observations in quantifying the dynamics of MODIS NDVI in the central‐south of the Republic of Niger.

Herbage Accumulation, Persistence and Nutritive Value of C4 Grasses Grown Across Temperate Environments in South‐Eastern Australia

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate modelling has projected increasing temperatures and a shift in rainfall systems in southern Australia, suggesting an increase in the summer–autumn feed gap of pasture systems based on temperate species. Tropical (C4) pasture species may diversify the feed base and help mitigate climate variability in these areas.

Anatomical Characteristics of Cenchrus purpureus Under Rainfed and Irrigation

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Microscopy can serve as an auxiliary tool to elucidate differences in the nutritive value of plant tissues, given its strong correlation with chemical composition and in vitro digestibility. The objective was to evaluate the effect of tall and dwarf elephantgrass genotypes grown under rainfed or irrigated conditions during the dry and rainy ...
