Annual Variation in Stallion Testicular Measurements and Its Association With Hormonal Profiles and Semen Quality

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In a stallion breeding‐soundness examination, testicular volume may be estimated either from total scrotal width or by measuring the height, width and length of both testes. This study aimed to determine whether testicular morphometric parameters obtained by ultrasonography fluctuate throughout the year, and whether these variations affect ...

Phytoremediation of Wastewater From Oil Well Drilling: Potential of Different Plant Species

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 5, May 2026.
Purple fountain grass (Cenchrus setaceus “Rubrum”) is a promising plant for using in constructed wetlands treating complex oil drilling effluents. ABSTRACT This study evaluated the removal of contaminants present in wastewater from oil well drilling in the presence of three plant species: water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), cattail (Typha ...

DNA elimination in embryogenic development of Pennisetum glaucum x Pennisetum purpureum (Poaceae) hybrids

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2013
Interspecific hybridization between Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum), which is widely grown in Brazil for cattle forage, and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) has been used as a breeding strategy for the development of improved cultivars. However, the hybrid between these two species is sterile due to its triploid condition (2n = 3x = 21 chromosomes)

Prediction of organic acid concentration in BRS Capiaçu elephant grass silage

Grassland Science, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 73-81, April 2026.
Abstract This study aimed to develop prediction models for organic acid concentrations in Capiaçu grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum) silage, based on fermentation parameters and chemical composition. Data were obtained from an experiment that evaluated BRS (Brazil Seeds) Capiaçu grass silage with the inclusion of dehydrated cashew pseudofruit ...

Periods of interference by Cyperus esculentus L. in Pennisetum purpureum Schum.

Acta Agronómica, 2018
Interference from weeds directly affects the productivity and the quality of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) fodder. The difficulty in controlling weed species is one of the primary limitations to the production and use of elephant grass as forage in dairy farming and for biomass production in energy generation.

The Crop Feeding Behavior of Rhesus Macaques in a Forest‐Farm Mosaic in Central Nepal: Implications for Human–Wildlife Coexistence

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 3, March 2026.
Rhesus macaques in Nepal fed on crops for a longer duration and caused more crop damage when the foraging party was larger. Farmer interventions failed to reduce the duration of crop feeding and the amount of crop damage. ABSTRACT Human‐driven habitat change is forcing nonhuman primates to exploit anthropogenic landscapes, resulting in primate crop ...

Diallel analysis of elephantgrass clones for bioenergy production in a tropical environment

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Climate change caused by fossil fuels has driven the search for bioenergy sources. Elephantgrass [Cenchrus purpureus (Schumach.) Morrone] biomass is a promising alternative for diversifying the energy matrix. One of the main steps of a genetic breeding program is the selection of parents who will form the crossing block, and the use of diallel

A 10K liquid-phase single nucleotide polymorphism array for genetic diversity analysis and cultivar identification in elephant grass and its hybrid

Grass Research
Elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and its hybrid with hybrid pennisetum (Pennisetum purpureum × Pennisetum americanum) are important high-yield forage grasses in tropical and subtropical regions.
