Breeding of comb-wheatgrass (Agropyron pectiniforme Roem. et Schult.) for arid conditions of the steppe zone [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2021
In the context of the progressive trend of climate aridization of the main agricultural regions in the forest-steppe and steppe zones, the problem of increasing and stabilizing the high productivity of forage crops is becoming more acute.

A global meta-analysis of the effects of plant diversity on biomass partitioning in grasslands

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
The partitioning of belowground biomass (BGB) to aboveground biomass (AGB) is commonly described as the root-to-shoot ratio (R/S). Although a number of studies have shown that biodiversity can influence AGB and BGB in grasslands at the local and global ...

Grass stomata [PDF]

Current Biology, 2018
Stomata are adjustable valves through which gas and water exchange occur in plant leaves. Here, McKown and Bergmann highlight the essential function and features of stomata from grasses.

Grass genomes [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998
For the most part, studies of grass genome structure have been limited to the generation of whole-genome genetic maps or the fine structure and sequence analysis of single genes or gene clusters. We have investigated large contiguous segments of the genomes of maize, sorghum, and rice, primarily focusing on intergenic spaces.

Splendor in the Grasses [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2009
Grasses provide over half of the world's caloric intake and are major components of many terrestrial ecosystems. They are also used in cultivated landscapes, as construction materials, and as biofuel feedstocks.

Grass attack [PDF]

Current Biology, 2007
SummaryA new study finds that raised atmospheric carbon dioxide in an experimental plot of Colorado grassland does not affect species diversity but provides a great boost to the shrub species. Nigel Williams reports.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Inoculation and Different Phosphorus Fertilizer Levels Modulate Phosphorus Acquisition and Utilization Efficiency of Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in Saline-Alkali Soil

Plants
Phosphorus (P) is a key nutrient limiting crop growth and productivity, particularly in saline-alkali soils with low P availability. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have the potential to enhance P uptake in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.); however, the ...

Environmental regulation of seed germination and emergence in two populations of Cyperus rotundus L. (Cyperaceae), a weed species with industrial potential

BMC Plant Biology
Background Seed germination is pivotal for plant establishment and highly sensitive to environmental conditions. Understanding these processes aids in developing sound agronomic practices for Cyperus rotundus L., a cosmopolitan weed that holds dual ...

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) and transcriptome analysis reveal new candidate genes for leaf size in alfalfa

BMC Plant Biology
Background Leaves are the most important organs of plants and serve as the primary harvest parts in alfalfa production. The size of the leaf area is a crucial factor influencing forage yield and quality.
