Cytogenetic studies in the Eragrostis curvula Complex [PDF]
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 ...

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.

Stomatal area as an anatomical criterion for the determination of chromosome number in the Eragrostis curvula complex [PDF]
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.

Repetitive sequences in Eragrostis curvula cDNA EST libraries obtained from genotypes with different ploidy [PDF]
Biologia Plantarum, 2016 Eragrostis curvula (Schrad) Nees (weeping lovegrass) represents important cultivated forage in semiarid regions, and the most useful cultivars are tetraploid and reproduce by pseudogamous diplosporous apomixis.

Apomixis frequency under stress conditions in weeping lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 To overcome environmental stress, plants develop physiological responses that are triggered by genetic or epigenetic changes, some of which involve DNA methylation.

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

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.
