Continuous grazing oncenchrus ciliaris

Proceedings of the Annual Congresses of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1979
Abstract Breeding cattle grazed Cenchrus ciliaris continuously for four years. Excellent calving percentages (mean 95,25%) and good weaning masses (mean 245 kg) were obtained, the A.D.G.’s being 0,963 kg for heifers and 1,075 kg for bulls. The system was planned to eliminate grazing management as a factor.

Cytogeography of Cenchrus ciliaris (Poaceae) in Tunisia

Folia Geobotanica, 2012
Belonging to the genus Cenchrus with 16–22 species, Cenchrus ciliaris L. (syn. Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link, buffelgrass) is a perennial, common in warmer regions of both hemispheres, growing as a C4 grass in a wide range of habitats. In the present study we determined chromosome number and nuclear DNA content (2C DNA) for 28 natural populations ...

Population differences in Cenchrus ciliaris and Cenchrus setigerus

1993
Cenchrus ciliaris Linn. (Buffel or Anjan grass) and Cenchrus setigerus Vahl. (Blue bird grass) are found in dry sandy areas throughout Africa, including the Canary Islands, Madagascar, and eastward to India. In India, they occur mostly in the western states of Rajasthan, parts of Punjab, and Gujarat. In these areas, extensive grazing lands dominated by

Evaluation of Cenchrus Ciliaris Ecotypes for Seed Yield and Related Traits

XXV International Grassland Congress (IGC 2023), 2023
Cenchrus ciliaris is widely promoted as a choice grass species for reseeding Arid and Semi- arid Lands (ASALs). Due to the high variability in ASAL environments, there is need to evaluate ecotypes of C. ciliaris with potentially higher seed yield and germination that may possibly be selected and promoted for rangeland reseeding initiatives.

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.

Buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris) Responses to Tebuthiuron

Weed Science, 1983
Tebuthiuron (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.

Evidence for facultative apomixis in Cenchrus ciliaris

Euphytica, 1978
The nature and behaviour of crosses between Cenchrus ciliaris and C. setigerus indicate that facultative apomixis occurs in C. ciliaris, in addition to the previously reported obligate sexual and apomictic states.

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.
