Distribution patterns of rDNA loci in the Schedonorus-Lolium complex (Poaceae) [PDF]

Comparative Cytogenetics, 2022
The Schedonorus-Lolium complex of the subtribe Loliinae (Poaceae) includes several economically important forage and turf grasses. This complex encompasses Lolium Linnaeus, 1753, Festuca Linnaeus, 1753 subgenus Schedonorus (P.

Asynapsis and unreduced gamete formation in a Trifolium interspecific hybrid

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Unreduced gametes, a driving force in the widespread polyploidization and speciation of flowering plants, occur relatively frequently in interspecific or intergeneric hybrids. Studies of the mechanisms leading to 2n gamete formation, mainly in

Genomic insights into the physiology of Quinella, an iconic uncultured rumen bacterium

Nature Communications, 2022
Uncultured bacteria of the genus Quinella are found in the rumen of ruminant animals, especially in sheep that emit low amounts of methane. Here, Kumar et al.

Identification of Genetic Diversity, Pyrrocidine-Producing Strains and Transmission Modes of Endophytic Sarocladium zeae Fungi from Zea Crops

Microorganisms, 2022
Genotyping by sequencing (GBS) was used to reveal the inherent genetic variation within the haploid fungi Sarocladium zeae isolated from diverse Zea germplasm, including modern Zea mays and its wild progenitors—the teosintes.

Epichloë seed transmission efficiency is influenced by plant defense response mechanisms

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Asexual Epichloë are endophytic fungi that form mutualistic symbioses with cool-season grasses, conferring to their hosts protection against biotic and abiotic stresses.

Methanobrevibacter boviskoreani JH1T growth on alcohols allows development of a high throughput bioassay to detect methanogen inhibition

Current Research in Microbial Sciences, 2023
Rumen methanogenic archaea use by-products of fermentation to carry out methanogenesis for energy generation. A key fermentation by-product is hydrogen (H2), which acts as the source of reducing potential for methane (CH4) formation in hydrogenotrophic ...

Effects of long-acting, broad spectra anthelmintic treatments on the rumen microbial community compositions of grazing sheep

Scientific Reports, 2021
Anthelmintic treatment of adult ewes is widely practiced to remove parasite burdens in the expectation of increased ruminant productivity. However, the broad activity spectra of many anthelmintic compounds raises the possibility of impacts on the rumen ...
