Ethnopharmacological evaluation of Cenchrus ciliaris for multiple gastrointestinal disorders
Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology, 2017 This study was conducted to rationalize the traditional uses of Cenchrus ciliaris in gastrointestinal disorders using in vivo and ex vivo assays. The antidiarrheal effect was evaluated in rats by the castor oil-induced diarrheal model. C.

Meiotic chromosome behaviour in Cenchrus ciliaris
Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 1998 A basic chromosome number of x = 9 has been confirmed for Cenchrus ciliaris L. Polyploidy is common and levels vary from tetraploid to hexaploid. Aneuploidv is reported for a single specimen, where two chromosomes of a single genome were lost.

Productional and morphological reaction to defoliation of Cenchrus ciliaris L
, 1973 The productional and morphological reaction of Cenchrus ciliaris cv. Molopo was studied over a period of one year under greenhouse conditions. The results indicate a great flexibility in the utilization programme of the grass. Frequency of defoliation, however, appears to be more critical than intensity of defoliation as far as root mass is concerned ...

Forage Preferences of Southern Black-Throated Finch (<i>Poephila cincta cincta</i>) in the Desert Uplands Bioregion of Australia. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUnderstanding how seasonal food availability shapes diet is essential for conserving threatened species and managing their habitats effectively. This study examined the diet of the endangered southern black‐throated finch in Queensland's Desert Uplands, combining field observations with vegetation and nutritional analyses to assess food preferences ...

Seasonal Patterns of Longevity and Germination in Grass Species Determine the Vegetation Recovery Potential of Degraded Semi-Arid Savannas. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractABSTRACT Studies indicate that soil seed bank (SSB) could play an important role in triggering the recovery of grass vegetation after degradation. However, the dissimilarity between SSB composition and aboveground vegetation (AGV) is reported in semi‐arid African savannas, which could be due to differences in seed longevity, as determined by seed ...

Synthesis and Herbicidal Activity Against Buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris) of (±)-3-deoxyradicinin. [PDF]
Molecules, 2019 A novel synthetic strategy for obtainment of (±)-3-deoxyradicinin (2) is reported. This synthetic methodology is more efficient than those previously reported in the literature and also shows higher versatility towards the introduction of different side-chains at both C-7 and C-2.

Nesting and Habitat Characteristics of White-Browed Sparrow-Weavers (<i>Plocepasser mahali</i>, Smith) at Chemeron, Baringo South, Kenya. [PDF]
Ecol Evol. ABSTRACT Arid and semi‐arid lands (ASALs) support tropical wooded shrublands and grasslands that sustain a diverse array of flora and fauna, including specialized avian communities. However, as the demand for food, fuel, and other natural resources intensifies, these inherently fragile ecosystems face mounting pressure, resulting in significant ...
