Eragrostis curvula cultivars reduce aluminium concentrations and promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria in acidic ecosystem soils [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Soil acidity and aluminium (Al) toxicity are global challenges that negatively affect soil health, plant growth, and agricultural productivity. Eragrostis curvula, a grass species known for its Al tolerance, presents a promising solution for mitigating ...

Integrative gene expression and heterologous functional analysis identify candidate regulators of apomixis in Eragrostis curvula [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionEragrostis curvula (weeping lovegrass) is a perennial forage grass in which diploid genotypes reproduce sexually whereas polyploids display pseudogamous diplosporous apomixis.

Temporal and spatial expression of genes involved in DNA methylation during reproductive development of sexual and apomictic Eragrostis curvula [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
Recent reports in model plant species have highlighted a role for DNA methylation pathways in the regulation of the somatic-to-reproductive transition in the ovule, suggesting that apomixis (asexual reproduction through seeds) likely relies on RdDM ...

Host Specificity Controlled by PWL1 and PWL2 Effector Genes in the Finger Millet Blast Pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae in Eastern Africa

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2023
Magnaporthe oryzae, a devastating pathogen of finger millet (Eleusine coracana), secretes effector molecules during infection to manipulate host immunity. This study determined the presence of avirulence effector genes PWL1 and PWL2 in 221 Eleusine blast

Plastic traits of an exotic grass contribute to its abundance but are not always favourable. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
In herbaceous ecosystems worldwide, biodiversity has been negatively impacted by changed grazing regimes and nutrient enrichment. Altered disturbance regimes are thought to favour invasive species that have a high phenotypic plasticity, although most ...
