Developing robust quantitative PCR primers for comparative biomass analysis of Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea) and its Epichloë endophyte [PDF]
microPublication BiologyTall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is a widely adopted forage and turf grass. This is partly due to a fungal endophyte, Epichloë coenophiala, which confers both abiotic and biotic stress tolerance. Although PCR primers exist to test for endophyte presence,

Ratio vegetation indices have the potential to predict extractable protein yields in green protein paludiculture [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2023 Paludiculture can be a tool to incentivise rewetting of agricultural peatlands with the option for biomass utilisation in green protein biorefineries. However, the economic feasibility for green protein paludiculture depends on product maximisation. This
