Biology, Ecology, Distribution and Management of Large Crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis)

Weed Research, Volume 65, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop. (large crabgrass) is a globally distributed annual C4 grass and one of the most challenging weeds in agriculture, causing significant yield losses in crops such as maize, soyabean, rice, cotton and vegetables. This species thrives under favourable and unfavourable conditions such as disturbed soils, fluctuating

Saprotrophic Capabilities of Neurospora crassa on Charred Plant Biomass

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2025.
Despite growing on charred biomass in nature, Neurospora crassa cannot degrade charred wood or grass better than non‐fire‐associated decomposer fungi (Gloeophyllum trabeum, Trametes versicolor). It likely proliferates on charred biomass by rapidly colonising heat‐sterilised substrates after heat‐ or smoke‐induced spore germination and then consuming ...

Large Trees, Supertrees, and Diversification of the Grass Family [PDF]

, 2007
Phylogenetic studies of grasses (Poaceae) are advanced in comparison with most other angiosperm families. However, few studies have attempted to build large phylogenetic trees of the family and use these for evaluating patterns of diversification or other

NADP-Malate Dehydrogenase Gene Evolution in Andropogoneae (Poaceae): Gene Duplication Followed by Sub-functionalization [PDF]

, 2017
• Background and Aims Plastid NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenase (MDH) catalyses the conversion of oxaloacetate to malate. In C4 plants, it is involved in photosynthetic carbon assimilation. In Poaceae, one NADP-MDH gene has been identified in rice (C3;

Hyperspectral leaf reflectance of grasses varies with evolutionary lineage more than with site

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract To predict ecological responses at broad environmental scales, grass species are commonly grouped into two broad functional types based on photosynthetic pathway. However, closely related species may have distinctive anatomical and physiological attributes that influence ecological responses, beyond those related to photosynthetic pathway ...

Multiple photosynthetic transitions, polyploidy, and lateral gene transfer in the grass subtribe Neurachninae [PDF]

, 2012
The Neurachninae is the only grass lineage known to contain C3, C4, and C3–C4 intermediate species, and as such has been suggested as a model system for studies of photosynthetic pathway evolution in the Poaceae; however, a lack of a robust phylogenetic ...

In‐context promoter bashing of the Sorghum bicolor gene models functionally annotated as bundle sheath cell preferred expressing phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and alanine aminotransferase

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract In‐context promoter bashing via genome editing is a route to identify and characterize critical regulatory regions that govern expression of genes of interest. The outcomes of in‐context promoter bashing can be used to inform editing strategies to modulate the expression of selected gene models in a desired fashion.

Poaceae communities in the savannas of the Amazon Estuary in Brazil

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2014
We sought to identify the major environmental factors that affect the diversity and distribution of Poaceae in the savannas of the Amazon Estuary. The study was conducted across seven areas of savanna in the Amazon Estuary, within which 160 subplots of 1

Resolving the contrasting leaf hydraulic adaptation of C3 and C4 grasses

New Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 5, Page 1924-1939, March 2025.
Summary Grasses are exceptionally productive, yet their hydraulic adaptation is paradoxical. Among C3 grasses, a high photosynthetic rate (Aarea) may depend on higher vein density (Dv) and hydraulic conductance (Kleaf). However, the higher Dv of C4 grasses suggests a hydraulic surplus, given their reduced need for high Kleaf resulting from lower ...
