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 ...

Identification and functional characterization of intermediate-size non-coding RNAs in maize

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background The majority of eukaryote genomes can be actively transcribed into non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which are functionally important in development and evolution.

The recent and rapid spread of Themeda triandra [PDF]

, 2017
Tropical savannas cover over 20% of land surface. They sustain a high diversity of mammalian herbivores and promote frequent fires, both of which are dependent on the underlying grass composition.

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 ...

Life history of Manataria maculata (Lepidoptera: Satyrinae) from Costa Rica

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2003
The life history and early stages of the satyrine butterfly Manataria maculata are described and illustrated from Costa Rica. Eggs are laid on Lasiacis sp. (Panicoideae), a new non-bamboo host plant for the genus Manataria.

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.

Meiotic chromosome behaviour in Cenchrus ciliaris

Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 1998
A basic chromosome number of x = 9 has been confirmed for Cenchrus ciliaris L. Polyploidy is common and levels vary from tetraploid to hexaploid. Aneuploidv is reported for a single specimen, where two chromosomes of a single genome were lost.
