Production of napiergrass as a forage and bioenergy feedstock with swine‐lagoon effluent [PDF]
Agricultural & Environmental Letters, 2021 Studies are lacking on the performance of napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) fertilized with swine (Sus scrofa domestica)‐lagoon effluent. This study (2011–2013) determined biomass yield, nutrient removal, nutritive value, and ethanol yield in ...

Cadmium Phytoremediation Potential of Napiergrass Cultivated in Kyushu, Japan [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Soil Science, 2015 Napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach), a C4 tropical species, has been used for forage since it has high dry matter productivity, sustainability over several years in low-altitudinal sites of Kyushu, and little damage from serious pests.

Adaptability of Napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.) for Weed Control in Site of Animals Buried after Foot-and-Mouth Disease Infection [PDF]
Scientifica, 2016 After the infection of foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks in Miyazaki, Japan, in 2010, cattle and swine were slaughtered and buried in a site of 100 ha, where weed control is difficult and costly since lands are unlevelled and prohibited to be plowed for 3

Surveying the genome and constructing a high-density genetic map of napiergrass (Cenchrus purpureus Schumach) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractNapiergrass (Cenchrus purpureus Schumach) is a tropical forage grass and a promising lignocellulosic biofuel feedstock due to its high biomass yield, persistence, and nutritive value. However, its utilization for breeding has lagged behind other crops due to limited genetic and genomic resources.

Population genomic structure of Eurasian and African foxtail millet landrace accessions inferred from genotyping-by-sequencing. [PDF]
Plant Genome, 2021 Abstract Foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.] is the second most important millet species globally and is adapted to cultivation in diverse environments. Like its wild progenitor, green foxtail [S. viridis (L.) P. Beauv.], it is a model species for C4 photosynthetic pathways and stress tolerance genes in related bioenergy crops. We addressed

DNA-Stable Isotope Probing Shotgun Metagenomics Reveals the Resilience of Active Microbial Communities to Biochar Amendment in Oxisol Soil [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 The functions and interactions of individual microbial populations and their genes in agricultural soils amended with biochar remain elusive but are crucial for a deeper understanding of nutrient cycling and carbon (C) sequestration.
