Mitigating Arthropod Mortality During Roadside Mowing: The Potential of the EcoCut Insect Flushing Bar

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to their size and corridor function, roadside verges are of concern for the conservation and protection of insects and other arthropods. Any opportunity to manage them in an insect‐friendly way, for example, insect‐friendly mowing technology, should be seen as an important contribution. Here we investigated the effectiveness of the EcoCut (

Mixed Outcomes in Recombination Rates After Domestication: Revisiting Theory and Data

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The process of domestication has altered many phenotypes. Selection on these phenotypes has long been hypothesised to indirectly select for increases in the genome‐wide recombination rate. This hypothesis is potentially consistent with theory on the evolution of the recombination rate, but empirical support has been unclear. We review relevant

Germplasm dynamics: the role of ecotypic diversity in shaping the patterns of genetic variation in Lolium perenne

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is the most widely grown temperate grass species globally. Intensive plant breeding in ryegrass compared to many other crops species is a relatively recent exercise (last 100 years) and provides an interesting ...

The genetical examination of 'Grasslands Ariki' ryegrass Lolium ((multiflorum x perenne) x perenne) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Plant Science [PDF]

open access: yes, 1970
'Grasslands Ariki' ryegrass - Lolium [(multiflorum x perenne) x perenne] - has been established in New Zealand as a successful pasture variety. While some genetic parameters were determined during its breeding programme, no diallel cross analyses have ...

An Epichloë festucae homologue of MOB3, a component of the STRIPAK complex, is required for the establishment of a mutualistic symbiotic interaction with Lolium perenne

open access: yesMolecular plant pathology, 2016
Summary In both Sordaria macrospora and Neurospora crassa, components of the conserved STRIPAK (striatin‐interacting phosphatase and kinase) complex regulate cell–cell fusion, hyphal network development and fruiting body formation.

Laminaria digitata Extract Improved Leaf Meristem Protection Under Drought and Nitrogen Uptake After Rehydration Through Hormesis‐Based Chemical Priming in Lolium perenne

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought is among the most damaging stress for plants, impacting crop yield and grassland sustainability. This study aimed to evaluate the biostimulant effect of an algal extract from Laminaria digitata on Lolium perenne cultivated in a growth chamber. Leaves were sprayed at different concentrations 7 days before stopping irrigation.

Vegetation change of mountainous hay meadows to intensified management regime in organic farming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The whole vegetation assemblage of 60 relevés (4 m²) in a block design was examined at two mountainous hay meadow stands over a two-year period. All sites were situated at a certified organic farm, managed according to the guidelines of organic farming ...

Seed bank as a source for the spontaneous regeneration of dry grasslands on former arable fields in an agro‐pastoral landscape

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Introduction Dry grasslands have suffered significant losses due to overgrazing and conversion into croplands in Europe. Objectives This study investigates seed bank diversity and density along a succession gradient of abandoned crop fields in Transylvania, Romania, to assess the contribution of seed banks in spontaneous grassland regeneration ...
