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

The stepwise rise of angiosperm‐dominated terrestrial ecosystems

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2131-2149, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Angiosperms are the most diverse and abundant plant taxon today and dominate the majority of Earth's terrestrial ecosystems. They underwent rapid divergence and biogeographic expansion from the early to the middle Cretaceous. Yet, transformative ecosystem change brought about by the increased ecological dominance of angiosperms unfolded ...

Chromosome‐level genome of Zoysia sinica in the intertidal zone reveals genomic insights into waterlogging stress adaptation

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Zoysia sinica is a perennial grass that thrives in intertidal zones, even under extreme waterlogging stress. In this study, we present a high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assembly of Z. sinica, with a total size of 312.67 Mb. Through genome annotation, we identified 29,551 protein‐coding genes in the Z. sinica genome and re‐annotated 32,925,

Capturing Vegetation Gradients Along the West African Margin Using Terrestrial Plant Biomarkers in Marine Sediments

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Understanding the transport mechanisms of terrestrial biomarkers to marine sediments is critical for interpreting past environmental and climate changes from these valuable archives. Here, we produce new estimates of two classes of terrestrial plant biomarkers, n‐alkane waxes and pentacyclic triterpene methyl ethers (PTMEs), from a transect of

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 ...

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
