A phylogeny of the Triraphideae including Habrochloa and Nematopoa (Poaceae, Chloridoideae) [PDF]
To investigate the evolutionary relationships among species of the tribe Triraphideae (including two monotypic genera, Habrochloa and Nematopoa), we generated a phylogeny based on DNA sequences from nuclear ribosomal (ITS) and four plastid markers (rps16-

Biochemical and Structural Diversification of C4 Photosynthesis in Tribe Zoysieae (Poaceae) [PDF]
C4 photosynthesis has evolved independently multiple times in grass lineages with nine anatomical and three biochemical subtypes. Chloridoideae represents one of the separate events and contains species of two biochemical subtypes, NAD-ME and PEP-CK ...

Ontogeny and anatomy of Bouteloua (Poaceae: Chloridoideae) species display a basipetal branch formation and a novel modified leaf structure in grasses. [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Shoot ontogenesis in grasses follows a transition from a vegetative phase into a reproductive phase. Current studies provide insight into how branch and spikelet formation occur during the reproductive phase. However, these studies do

Reticulation within <i>Sporobolus</i>: recognition of two new sections, <i>Acinifolii</i> and <i>Thellungia</i>, and a new genus, <i>Hyalolemma</i> (Poaceae, Chloridoideae, Zoysieae, Sporobolinae). [PDF]
Abstract We present a molecular DNA phylogeny utilizing four plastid regions (rps16–trnK spacer, rps16 intron, rpl32–trnL spacer, ndhA intron) and the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, investigating 123 species of subtribe ...

Phytolith profile of Acrachne racemosa (B. Heyne ex Roem. & Schult.) Ohwi (Cynodonteae, Chloridoideae, Poaceae). [PDF]
Acrachne racemosa (B. Heyne. ex Roem. & Schult.) Ohwi of the subfamily Chloridoideae of the family Poaceae is an economically important grass species. Grasses are characterized by deposits of silica in the cells or tissues in the form of phytoliths which
