Drought and salt stress in Chrysopogon zizanioides leads to common and specific transcriptomic responses and may affect essential oil composition and benzylisoquinoline alkaloids metabolism

open access: yesCurrent Plant Biology, 2017
Abiotic stresses affect crop productivity worldwide. Understanding molecular mechanisms of plant abiotic stress tolerance is important for developing stress tolerant crop plants for sustaining crop productivity in future. Chrysopogon zizanioides (vetiver)

Impacts of soil and water conservation practices on finger millet production in northwestern Ethiopia

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Crop yield decline, primarily caused by soil erosion, is a major challenge in rain‐fed agriculture. Massive soil and water conservation (SWC) practices are conducted each year in the country of Ethiopia, including the study sites, to tackle the problems, but there is not enough information about the impacts those practices on crop yields in ...

Contribution of the root system of vetiver grass towards slope stabilization of the São Francisco River

open access: yesSemina: Ciências Agrárias, 2015
The control of soil erosion along the banks of the São Francisco River requires the use of efficient and economically viable strategies. Soil bioengineering techniques may be an alternative to the conventional methods as they provide good soil ...

Phytoassessment of Vetiver grass enhanced with EDTA soil amendment grown in single and mixed heavy metal–contaminated soil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Over the years, ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetate (EDTA) has been widely used for many purposes. However, there are inadequate phytoassessment studies conducted using EDTA in Vetiver grass. Hence, this study evaluates the phytoassessment (growth performance,

Uptake and transformation of ciprofloxacin by vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides)

open access: yesInternational Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 2019
Abstract Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is a synthetically produced and widely prescribed antibiotic. Due to incomplete metabolism and gut absorption, a significant portion of the consumed CIP is excreted and released into the environment through wastewater. Vetiver grass has been reported to tolerate many organic and inorganic pollutants.

Application of MICP in ameliorating erosion resistance of soil on reservoir banks

open access: yesRiver, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 445-461, November 2025.
Abstract Regulating reservoirs with clay slopes are prone to severe erosion caused by wind‐wave actions and water‐level fluctuations. Conventional bank protection methods often rely on rigid structures, which can adversely affect ecosystems. This study explores the use of microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) for soil stabilization to ...

Comparitive Study on Essential Oil in Natural and In vitro Regenerated Plants of Vetiveria zizanioides (Linn.) Nash [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In vitro studies with rhizome explants of Vetiveria zizanioides obtained through organogenetic pathway was focused on the difference in essential oil content with that of control plants. There was variation exhibited by In vitro regenerated
