Independent leaf and root responses to autumn freezing in perennial herbs: Insights from cutting and transplant manipulations

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
In this study, we compared two sampling approaches to assess autumn freezing resistance. Our goal was to determine whether the commonly employed cutting method, which disrupts root‐tissue connectivity, provides a valid measure of true freezing resistance.

Combining phenotypic, physiological, and multi‐omics studies to provide new insights on the role of 2,4‐epibrassinolide in regulation of seed shattering in Elymus sibiricus L.

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Seed shattering limits the production of Elymus sibiricus L., and application of exogenous brassinosteroid significantly alleviates plant organ abscission. Methods To explore the potential regulatory network of brassinosteroid on seed shattering, the abscission zone of E. sibiricus cv. Lanyu No.

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

Optimization of moisture content and application rate of hay preservative during high‐moisture alfalfa hay baling in northwestern China

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Leaf shatter during low‐moisture baling and mold proliferation under high‐moisture conditions pose major challenges in alfalfa hay production. A proprietary propionic acid‐based hay preservative product, LZP, effectively inhibits microbial reproduction in high‐moisture alfalfa bales; however, its optimal moisture thresholds and ...

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 ...
