Safe and Stable Germline Transmission of MSTN Mutations in Cattle

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT With the global population expected to reach 10 billion by 2050, sustainable livestock production is critical. Gene editing of the myostatin (MSTN) gene represents a promising strategy to enhance muscle growth in cattle. In this study, MSTN‐mutated founder (F0) cows were used to generate F1 offspring via ovum pick‐up, in vitro fertilization ...

De Novo Assembly and Characterization of Tall Fescue Transcriptome under Water Stress

The Plant Genome, 2015
Water stress is a fundamental problem for tall fescue [ (Schreb.) Darbysh.] cultivation in the south–central United States. Genetic improvement of tall fescue for water-stress tolerance is the key strategy for improving its persistence in the region ...

Early Contributions Leading to Understanding the Significance of Epichloë Endophyte in Temperate Grasses

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 5, October 2026.
The role and use of Epichloë fungal endophytes in grazed temperate grass pastures and turf grasses are now well understood with regard to balancing pasture persistence while minimising animal health and welfare concerns. However, this understanding has only emerged since the early 1980s. Prior to this, although links between Epichloë endophytes, animal

Horn fly larval survival in cattle dung is reduced by endophyte infection of tall fescue pasture

, 2016
BACKGROUND: The potential for using endophytic microorganisms in pest control has increased during the last 40 years. In this study, we investigated the impact of endophyte (Neotyphodium coenophialum) infection of cattle pasture upon the survival of the ...

Automated Lawn Maintenance: An Agronomic and Operational Review of Turf Health, Biodiversity, and Field Performance

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4603-4623, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Grass mowing is one of the most resource‐consuming activities in green maintenance, whether in private areas such as home gardens or in public spaces like urban parks. In recent years, concerns related to climate change, human health, and sustainability have become increasingly prominent in green maintenance, leading manufacturers and industry

Nematode resistance in tall fescue [PDF]

, 1989
Tall fescue, Festuca arundinacea. an important forage grass in the southeastern United States, is frequently infected with Acremonium coenophialum. an endophytic fungus associated with fescue toxicosis in livestock.

Ergot Alkaloids Produced by Endophytic Fungi of the Genus Epichloë

Toxins, 2015
The development of fungal endophytes of the genus Epichloë in grasses results in the production of different groups of alkaloids, whose mechanism and biological spectrum of toxicity can differ considerably.

Association Analysis of Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) Markers with Agronomic Traits in Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Tall fescue is widely used in temperate regions throughout the world as a dominant forage grass as well as a turfgrass, in pastoral and turf industry. However, the utilization of tall fescue was limited because of its leaf roughness, poor regeneration ...

Genetic Mapping for Winter‐Hardiness in a Miscanthus sacchariflorus × M. sinensis (Hardy × Non‐Hardy) F2 Population

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.
Genetic mapping of a Miscanthus sacchariflorus × M. sinensis F2 population identified 37 QTLs associated with winter‐hardiness, including repeated regions across traits and years. Favorable alleles from the hardy M. sacchariflorus parent and candidate cold‐stress genes highlight targets for marker‐assisted breeding of winter‐hardy biomass cultivars ...

Evaluation of Electrocution for Weed Control and Tall Fescue Seedhead Reduction in Missouri Pastures

Weed Technology
Despite its efficacy, little research has been conducted to evaluate the potential for electrocution to control common weeds in pastures. Electrocution could also potentially be utilized as a management tool to minimize the production of tall fescue ...
