Historic rewiring of grass flowering time pathways and implications for crop improvement under climate change

New Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 5, Page 1864-1878, March 2025.
Summary Grasses are fundamental to human survival, providing a large percentage of our calories, fuel, and fodder for livestock, and an enormous global carbon sink. A particularly important part of the grass plant is the grain‐producing inflorescence that develops in response to both internal and external signals that converge at the shoot tip to ...

Savannahs of Asia: Antiquity, biogeography, and an uncertain future [PDF]

, 2016
The savannahs of Asia remain locally unrecognized as distinctive ecosystems, and continue to be viewed as degraded forests or seasonally dry tropical forests.

Inflorescence diversity in subtribe Eleusininae (Poaceae: Chloridoideae: Cynodonteae)

Flora, 2017
Abstract We studied the inflorescences of 112 members of tribe Chloridoideae subtribe Eleusininae from a morphological and evolutionary perspective to identify the most frequent types and to explore the evolutionary history of selected inflorescence associated characters.

Rediscovery of Bouteloua vaneedenii (Gramineae: Chloridoideae): endemic species from the West Indies

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011
Bouteloua vaneedenii is an endemic and extremely rare grass of the West Indies. Very few collections are known, and the most recent collection is from 1922. With the aim of finding the species, a team of Mexican and Cuban agrostologists conducted a field

Molecular phylogenies disprove a hypothesized C4 reversion in Eragrostis walteri (Poaceae) [PDF]

, 2017
Background and Aims The main assemblage of the grass subfamily Chloridoideae is the largest known clade of C4 plant species, with the notable exception of Eragrostis walteri Pilg., whose leaf anatomy has been described as typical of C3 plants. Eragrostis

Madagascar's grasses and grasslands:anthropogenic or natural? [PDF]

, 2016
Grasses, by their high productivity even under very low pCO2, their ability to survive repeated burning and to tolerate long dry seasons, have transformed the terrestrial biomes in the Neogene and Quaternary.

Phylogeny of the Grasses (Poaceae) Revisited [PDF]

, 2007
The most robust previously published phylogeny for the overall structure of the grass family (Poaceae) shows three early diverging lineages and two major derived clades, the BEP clade and the PACCAD clade (Grass Phylogeny Working Group 2001).

Bigger genomes provide environment‐dependent growth benefits in grasses

New Phytologist, Volume 244, Issue 5, Page 2049-2061, December 2024.
Summary Increasing genome size (GS) has been associated with slower rates of DNA replication and greater cellular nitrogen (N) and phosphorus demands. Despite most plant species having small genomes, the existence of larger GS species suggests that such costs may be negligible or represent benefits under certain conditions.
