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

Teff Yield and Nutrient Uptake Partitioning During Prolonged Waterlogging: A Preliminary Greenhouse Study

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT There is a lack of studies examining the effects of prolonged waterlogging on both yield and nutrient uptake partitioning in teff. A greenhouse study was conducted to assess the impact of different durations of waterlogging on teff's growth, yield, nutrient uptake and partitioning among grain, straw, and root components.

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 ...

Paleopolyploidy and molecular systematics of Southern African Chloridoideae

, 2003
English: This study dealt with systematics of southern African representatives of the grass subfamily Chloridoideae. The group was studied on molecular and cytogenetic levels. Two main basic chromosome numbers in the Chloridoideae, namely x = 9 . and

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.

The genome of Eleocharis vivipara elucidates the genetics of C3–C4 photosynthetic plasticity and karyotype evolution in the Cyperaceae

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 11, Page 2505-2527, November 2024.
Eleocharis vivipara provides a prime model for studying photosynthetic plasticity, as it uses C3 photosynthesis underwater and C4 photosynthesis on land. The assembled genome and dynamic gene expression patterns provide new insights into the genetic basis of this photosynthetic transition, which can contribute to crop improvement and breeding ...

Preliminary DNA fingerprinting of the turf grass Cynodon dactylon (Poaceae: Chloridoideae)

Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2002
Identification of different cultivars of turf grasses is often very difficult. In a preliminary attempt to identify different cultivars o f Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.. random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analyses of some well-known cultivars used in
