A dynamic model for determining the optimum cutting schedule of Italian ryegrass
A quantitative approach to the determination of the optimum cutting schedule of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) was presented. Optimization was based on a dynamic growth model which included the concepts crop growth rate, development rate and ...

Seed factors involved in early seedling establishment of Festuca arundinacea (tall fescue) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Biology and Biotechnology at Massey University, New Zealand [PDF]
New Zealand pastures are commonly based on vigorously growing Lolium (ryegrass) species. In many situations, however, it is often advantageous to combine the vigorous qualities of Lolium species with the versatility of other species such as Festuca ...

Potential for gene-flow from cultivated Irish grasses and cereals [PDF]
End of project reportThe importance of gene movement from cultivated plants has been highlighted in regard to minimising the movement of seed and/or pollen between GM and non-GM crops (i.e. gene flow). Although ryegrass covers in excess of 90% of Ireland’

Factors Affecting Genetic Transformation of Italian Ryegrass
ABSTRACT A system for the production of transgenic plants has been developed for Italian ryegrass( Lolium multiflorum Lam.) via Agrobacterium -mediated transformation of embryogenic callus. Mature seed-derived calli wereinfected and co-cultured with Agrobacterium EHA101 carrying standard binary vector pIG121Hm encoding thehygromycin phosphotransferase ...
