A whole‐genome assembly of St. Augustinegrass and visualizing diversity within the species
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze] is a warm‐season turfgrass species in the family Poaceae. This species is a popular choice for lawns in the Southern United States, due to its higher tolerance to shade, heat and humidity.

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.In total, we recorded 160 unique grass species across four savanna ecosystems dominated by different tree genera. These savannas support distinct grassy assemblages, but common grasses are often shared between ecosystems. ABSTRACT Southeast Asian savannas are some of the least studied ecosystems, with understanding of their function and resilience ...

Origin of a polyploid accession of Brachiaria humidicola (Poaceae: Panicoideae: Paniceae)
Genetics and Molecular Research, 2009 Brachiaria humidicola, a species adapted to poorly drained and infertile acid soils, is widely used throughout the tropics. Cytological characterization of 54 accessions of B. humidicola for breeding purposes revealed 2n = 36, 42, and 54 chromosomes. One accession (H030), with 2n = 42 chromosomes, showed a different meiotic behavior. In most accessions

[Leaf epidermis ultrastructure of Zeugites (Poaceae: Panicoideae)].
Revista de biologia tropical, 2011 The genus Zeugites comprises eleven species of neotropical grasses and it is principally distributed in Mexico, with some species extending to the Caribbean region, Central and South America. In this work, leaf epidermis ultrastructure of 11 species is described by the use of scanning electron microscopy.

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1219-1233, February 2026.Summary Chloroplast‐to‐nucleus retrograde signalling enables rapid stress responses in plants, but whether these signals accumulate to affect crop performance across entire growing seasons under field conditions remains unknown. We generated wheat mutants with targeted deletions in specific SAL gene copies from two distinct homeologous groups (TaSAL1 ...

Evolutionary relationships in Panicoid grasses based on plastome phylogenomics (Panicoideae; Poaceae) [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2016 Panicoideae are the second largest subfamily in Poaceae (grass family), with 212 genera and approximately 3316 species. Previous studies have begun to reveal relationships within the subfamily, but largely lack resolution and/or robust support for certain tribal and subtribal groups.

The ploidy status of Anthephora pubescens (Panicoideae)
South African Journal of Botany, 1982 A basic chromosome number of x =9 for the genus Anthephora Schreb. is confirmed. Samples of five A. pubescens Nees cultivars selected for cultivated pasture purposes consisted of tetraploid plants only (2n=4x=36).

Investigation of mitochondrial-derived plastome sequences in the Paspalum lineage (Panicoideae; Poaceae) [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2018 The grass family (Poaceae), ca. 12,075 species, is a focal point of many recent studies that aim to use complete plastomes to reveal and strengthen relationships within the family. The use of Next Generation Sequencing technology has revealed intricate details in many Poaceae plastomes; specifically the trnI - trnL intergenic spacer region.
