Seed lipid profiles of perennial ryegrass: Global patterns and differentiation of ryegrass cultivars and Epichloë endophytes

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Seed lipid profiles from three ryegrass cultivars infected with AR501 show distinct changes in the medium‐chain diacylglycerols, triacylglycerols and sphingolipids. The differential peal LN745.5052_5.78 can be identified as PG 16:0_18:2 with the supporting ms2 fragmentation spectrum. Abstract Background Forage perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) has

Evaluation of sunn hemp performance and nutritive value in Maine, USA

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L. and Crotalaria ochroleuca G. Don) was evaluated as a warm‐season legume to mitigate the “summer slump” in Maine's forage production caused by heat and moisture deficit stress. Methods This study compared three cultivars: “Crescent Sunn,” “Loei,” and “Red Mini,” at 60 and 90 days after seeding over the

Genomic selection for nitrogen use efficiency in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) under field conditions

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
There is genetic variation in ryegrass for the ability to respond to nitrogen fertilizer, Breeding nitrogen use efficient cultivars can increase farm profitability and sustainability. Abstract Background Improving the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of pastures has the benefit of reducing costs of production and reducing nitrogen loss to the environment.

Breeding switchgrass for reduced nitrogen demand

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Breeding has improved switchgrass biomass yield, but productivity is still heavily dependent on nitrogen fertilizer application. The genetic diversity needed to improve nitrogen use efficiency of switchgrass remains underused, mainly because of the slow and laborious breeding process, thus leaving the crop's high nitrogen demand as a major barrier to ...

How much grassland do we need?

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
A scaling analysis of global planted grassland area vs. country size. Abstract The United Nations has designated 2026 as the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, drawing attention to the importance of grasslands and the communities that rely on them. Rangelands cover 54% of Earth's land surface, including grasslands, savannas, shrublands,
