Genomic homeology between Pennisetum purpureum and Pennisetum glaucum (Poaceae) [PDF]
Comparative Cytogenetics, 2014 The genus Pennisetum (Richard, 1805) includes two economically important tropical forage plants: Pennisetum purpureum (Schumacher, 1827) (elephant grass), with 2n = 4x = 28 chromosomes and genomes A'A'BB, and Pennisetum glaucum (Linnaeus, 1753) (pearl millet), with 2n = 2x = 14 chromosomes and genomes AA.

Fermentation, 2023 Conversion of Pennisetum purpureum × Pennisetum americanum (Napier Pak Chong1) press cake into biobutanol using Clostridium beijerinckii TISTR 1461 was proposed as an alternative to combustion in this study. The optimum conditions for biobutanol fermentation were determined using a full factorial design and a central composite design of experiment. The

KARYOTYPE ALTERATIONS AFTER HYBRIDIZATION BETWEEN Pennisetum purpureum AND Pennisetum glaucum [PDF]
Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2015 ABSTRACTNapier grass and pearl millet are tropical forages from the genus Pennisetum. The variability in those species is explored in breeding programs of forages, as well as in the production of interspecific hybrids. Hybridization is a phenomenon that leads to intergenomic conflicts following the elimination of genomic sequences.

Evolution of the apomixis transmitting chromosome in Pennisetum [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Abstract Background Apomixis is an intriguing trait in plants that results in maternal clones through seed reproduction. Apomixis is an elusive, but potentially revolutionary, trait for plant breeding and hybrid seed production. Recent studies arguing that apomicts are not evolutionary dead ends have generated further

Ergot on Pennisetum Hohenackeri Hochst [PDF]
Nature, 1945 Pennisetum Hohenackeri Hochst. (P. alopecuros Nees) is a densely tufted perennial grass thriving in the clayey moist situations. The occurrence of sphacelial and sclerotial stages of a Claviceps on this host was first recorded by Ajrekar1 in the course of his studies on the sugary disease of jowar in India caused by Sphacelia Sorghi McRae.

Production de Pennisetum sp. et son utilisation pour la culture de Pleurotus ostreatus au Burundi
VertigO, 2013 This study dealt with the culture of three cultivars of Pleurotus ostreatus (cultivars 2125, 2153 and 969) out of four clones of Pennisetum sp. (named S1, S2, S3 and S4) produced on a plot of the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Burundi. After
