Nutritional and sensory evaluation of injeras prepared from tef and Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Nees. flours with sorghum blends [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Injera is a fermented, sour bread consumed as a staple food in Eritrea and Ethiopia. The bread can be prepared from various cereals but tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter], is the most preferred ingredient.

Classification of embryo sacs in the Eragrostis curvula Complex
Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 1984 At each of 17 collecting points between Johannesburg and Brits in the Transvaal, three plants which belong to the Eragrostis curvula Complex were collected and studied. A total o f 3 902 embryo sacs was examined in this sample.

De novo transcriptome sequencing and assembly from apomictic and sexual Eragrostis curvula genotypes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 A long-standing goal in plant breeding has been the ability to confer apomixis to agriculturally relevant species, which would require a deeper comprehension of the molecular basis of apomictic regulatory mechanisms.

Cytogenetic studies in the Eragrostis curvula Complex
Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 1977 Cytogenetic studies were undertaken in the Eragrostis curvula Complex. Three plants were studied at each of 16 collecting points. The overall morphology and embryo sac development of all plants were evaluated, while the chromosome number and ...

Eragrostis curvula cultivars improve soil bacterial diversity, extracellular enzyme activities, and nutrition in grassland ecosystem soils [PDF]
Scientific ReportsResearch on Eragrostis curvula has focused primarily on its value for pastures and as a potential food source, while the contribution of its cultivars to soil nutrient cycling in nutrient-poor grassland ecosystems is still poorly understood.

Differential Methylation Patterns in Apomictic vs. Sexual Genotypes of the Diplosporous Grass Eragrostis curvula [PDF]
Plants, 2021 DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism by which a methyl group is added to a cytosine or an adenine. When located in a gene/regulatory sequence it may repress or de-repress genes, depending on the context and species.

Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 1982 Twenty stomatal areas of each of 55 Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Nees plants were determined. An increase in polyploid level is shown to be moderately correlated with an increase in stomatal area.

Traversing the effects of ploidy changes in different Eragrostis curvula genotypes through high‐throughput RNA sequencing [PDF]
The Plant GenomePolyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy

Non-Native Eragrostis curvula Impacts Diversity of Pastures in South-Eastern Australia Even When Native Themeda triandra Remains Co-Dominant [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Lowland grassy woodlands in Australia’s south-east face reductions in native plant diversity because of invasion by non-native plants. We compared the relative abundance and diversity of plant species among sites dominated by the native Kangaroo grass ...
