Effect of Fibrolytic Enzymes and Regrowth Ages on Fermentation Profile and Nutrient Composition of Mombasa Grass and Elephant Grass Silages

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 80, Issue 2, April-June 2025.
ABSTRACT Two experiments were carried out to evaluate whether the addition of cellulase and/or xylanase enzymes interacts with regrowth age (RA) in mombasa grass (Megathyrsus maximus) and elephant grass cv. BRS Capiaçu (Cenchrus purpureus) to alter nutritive composition and fermentation profile. Mombasa and elephant grass plots were mowed and harvested

Yield and Stability of Three Tropical Forage Grasses Cultivated as Pure or Mixed Stands

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 80, Issue 2, April-June 2025.
ABSTRACT Multispecific pastures are considered more sustainable to animal production than monocultures. However, studies on mixtures of tropical grasses are underexplored. We aimed to assess whether a mixture of three contrasting growth strategies of perennial tropical forage grasses could outperform their respective monocultures in terms of forage ...

Genetic engineering of RuBisCO by multiplex CRISPR editing small subunits in rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 3, Page 731-749, March 2025.
Summary Ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) is required for photosynthetic carbon assimilation, as it catalyses the conversion of inorganic carbon into organic carbon. Despite its importance, RuBisCO is inefficient; it has a low catalytic rate and poor substrate specificity. Improving the catalytic performance of RuBisCO is one of

Agri‐Mat Mulching Improves Aggregate Stability and Soil Pore Formation on Smallholder Farms in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Food and Energy Security, Volume 14, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
ABSTRACT Agri‐mats are solid organic mulch mats derived from various organic waste materials such as straw, grass, weed biomass, algae residues, etc. These agri‐mats are created by hot‐ or cold‐pressing biomass into solid, bio degradable mats. Although agri‐mats provide remarkable benefits to agricultural soils, including improved soil fertility and ...

Vegetação em afloramentos rochosos litorâneos perturbados por incêndios na Região Metropolitana Fluminense, Estado do Rio de Janeiro

Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2016
Um dos principais distúrbios com ocorrência nos afloramentos rochosos litorâneos fluminenses é o fogo, geralmente originado por ação antrópica. Considerando a diversidade vegetal elevada e restrita a cada montanha, o entendimento de como a vegetação ...
