Evaluating pasture forage plant breeding achievements: a review

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1146-1220, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Forage plant breeding aims to deliver cultivars that increase on‐farm productivity through improved seasonal and annual yield, persistence of yield in perennials, and nutritive and feeding value. Breeding is generally undertaken in highly controlled field trials with individual plants or rows.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of the Fructose 1,6-Bisphosphate Aldolase (FBA) Gene Family Members in Seashore Paspalum in Response to Cadmium Stress

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
The fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) gene family plays crucial roles in plant energy metabolism, growth, development, and abiotic stress responses, as it modulates antioxidant synthesis and soluble sugar accumulation to enhance plant cadmium ...

Pasture productivity in New Zealand 1990–2020: trends, expectations, and key factors

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1221-1264, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Pasture productivity gains are critical for maintaining global competitiveness of New Zealand’s $38 billion p.a. animal product export industries. This review reveals that gains in pasture eaten on dairy farms declined sharply after ∼ 2001/02, from +1.48% yr−1 to +0.26% yr−1 despite continued increases in nitrogen (N) fertiliser use, stocking ...

Deciphering the Sodium Sensing Mechanisms in Glycophytes and Halophytes

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 12, Page 8586-8603, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Plants, including halophytes (salt‐tolerant) and glycophytes (salt‐sensitive), have developed diverse molecular mechanisms and morphological adaptations to survive in saline environments. The cellular components and molecular processes for salinity sensing and stress tolerance have been extensively identified in glycophytes, but not so with ...

Hydrology drives facilitative and competitive strategies in freshwater macrophyte and microbial communities

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Pulses of resource availability along environmental gradients can filter the local and regional distribution of macrophyte and microbial mat communities in wetlands. Wetlands that experience short hydroperiods (i.e., <6 months with standing water) may cause macrophyte and microbial mat competition for water.

Iron (II)-EDTA alleviate salinity injury through regulating ion balance in halophyte seashore paspalum

Grass Research
Salt stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses that limits plant growth and development. In high salinity environments, plants adapt to stress mainly by changing their appearance and cell physiological metabolism.

Quantifying golf course water use efficiency using three water balance models of varying complexity

Grassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 223-234, September 2025.
Abstract Background Three water balance models were used to quantify water use efficiency on 71 golf courses in the United States. The golf courses were separated into five geographic regions. Methods The United States Golf Association (USGA), Tipping‐Bucket (TB), and Agro‐IBIS (AG) water balance models were used to estimate golf course water ...

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of NAC Gene Family Members in Seashore Paspalum Under Salt Stress

Plants
The NAC gene family plays a crucial role in plant growth, development, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Paspalum Vaginatum, a warm-season turfgrass with exceptional salt tolerance, can be irrigated with seawater. However, the NAC gene family

Seashore paspalum in the Mediterranean transition zone: phenotypic traits of twelve accessions during and after establishment

Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2017
The use of warm-season turfgrasses is consolidated in the transitional areas of Mediterranean countries and some field trials have provided information on the adaptability of seashore paspalum to Mediterranean environment. Nonetheless, little is known on
