Molecular characterization of new Buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris) genotypes

Plant Omics, 2020
Buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L. Link) is an African agamospermous grass that has been widely introduced into arid regions of the world to improve rangelands for cattle production and as a result, it has invaded adjacent habitats. Cenchrus ciliaris is apomictic, a condition that is normally associated with low genetic variation within populations, but

Single-cell transcriptome profiling of buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris) eggs unveils apomictic parthenogenesis signatures

Scientific Reports, 2021
Apomixis, a type of asexual reproduction in angiosperms, results in progenies that are genetically identical to the mother plant. It is a highly desirable trait in agriculture due to its potential to preserve heterosis of F1 hybrids through subsequent ...

Biochemical responses of Digitaria commutata and Cenchrus ciliaris to water stress: antioxidative reactions, proline and soluble sugars accumulation

Bioagro, 2021
The impact of water stress on antioxidant enzyme activities, proline, soluble sugars, and carotenoids contents found in Digitaria commutata and Cenchrus ciliaris plants was investigated. Two different watering regimes were used on plants over a period of

Effect of Spacing on Seed Yield of Indigenous Rangeland and Forage Grass Species Grown under Drip Irrigation

Journal of Agricultural and Marine Sciences, 2009
Two indigenous rangeland forage species, Cenchrus ciliaris and Coelachyrum piercei, were investigated for their response to varying inter-row (50 and 100-cm) and inter plant spacing (25, 50 and 100-cm) under drip irrigation along with the perennial ...

A Genome-Wide Association Study of Biomass Yield and Feed Quality in Buffel Grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.)

Agriculture
The development of modern genomic tools has helped accelerate genetic gains in the breeding program of food crops. More recently, genomic resources have been developed for tropical forages, providing key resources for developing new climate-resilient ...

Screening of Cenchrus ciliaris L. for biological activity

South African Journal of Botany, 2002
Cenchrus ciliaris L. (Poaceae) is a commonly occurring perennial grass in South Africa. The underground runners are used in Zulu traditional medicine for ailments including 'body pain', menstrual disorders and urinary infections. Water, ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts were prepared from the underground and leaf material of C. ciliaris plants.

Assessing genotypes of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) as an alternative to maize silage for sheep nutrition

PLoS ONE
Nutritive value of five Cenchrus ciliaris (buffel grass) genotypes (IG96-50, IG96-96, IG96-358, IG96-401 and IG96-403) weredetermined. Their sugar contents (>70 mg/g of dry matter) and ensiling potential were evaluated using in vitro batch culture and in
