Evolution and diversification of the momilactone biosynthetic gene cluster in the genus Oryza. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Plants are master chemists and collectively are able to produce hundreds of thousands of different organic compounds. The genes underlying the biosynthesis of many specialized metabolites are organized in biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), which is hypothesized to ensure their faithful coinheritance and to facilitate their coordinated ...

Traversing the effects of ploidy changes in different Eragrostis curvula genotypes through high-throughput RNA sequencing. [PDF]
Plant GenomeAbstract Polyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy levels.

The Chromosome Number of Schaffnerella Gracilis (Gramineae, Chloridoideae) [PDF]
Aliso, 2002 The first ever chromosome report for the monotypic genus Schaffnerella (Grarnineae, Chloridoideae) is 2n = 20 (10 II) from pollen parent cells at diakinesis, which indicates diploidy and a base number of 10. The close relative Lycurus likewise has x = 10,

Grass functional traits reflect the long history of fire and grazers in the savannas of Texas. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise Understanding relationships among grass traits, fire, and herbivores may help improve conservation strategies for savannas that are threatened by novel disturbance regimes. Emerging theory, developed in Africa, emphasizes that functional traits of savanna grasses reflect the distinct ways that fire and grazers consume biomass ...

Characterization of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) PvKSL1 as a levopimaradiene/abietadiene-type diterpene synthase. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)This study reports the discovery and functional characterization of PvKSL1, a previously unrecognized class I diterpene synthase from switchgrass. Abstract The diverse class of plant diterpenoid metabolites serves important functions in mediating growth, chemical defence, and ecological adaptation. In major monocot crops, such as maize (Zea mays), rice
