Evolution and diversification of the momilactone biosynthetic gene cluster in the genus Oryza. [PDF]
Summary 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 ...

Grass functional traits reflect the long history of fire and grazers in the savannas of Texas. [PDF]
Abstract 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]
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

Evaluation of Yield Stability in Finger Millet (<i>Eleusine coracana</i> L.) Genotypes Using Multivariate Approaches. [PDF]
Finger millet is commonly cultivated in the semiarid tropics, where it is primarily grown by subsistence farmers. However, grain yield remains low due to the complex quantitative nature of the trait and its low heritability. Therefore, genotype × environment interaction (GEI) significantly influences yield production. This study investigates the impact

Pollen morphology of the Chloridoideae (Gramineae) [PDF]
Pollen grains of 57 species (representing 42 genera) of the Chloridoideae have been investigated using light, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Two aperture patterns and nine exine patterns are distinguished using SEM and TEM. These are categorized into five pollen types. Two pollen types are previously not recorded in Gramineae. A key for

A biogeographical analysis of Muhlenbergia (Poaceae: Chloridoideae: Cynodonteae: Muhlenbergiinae) [PDF]
AbstractA phylogeny based on the analysis of six DNA sequence markers (ITS, ndhA intron, rpl32‐trnL, rps3, rps16 intron, and rps16‐trnK) is used to infer ancestral areas and divergence times, and reconstruct the biogeographical history and evolution of 150 of the 183 (82%) species of Muhlenbergia.
