Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Brachiaria Species and Breeding Populations
Crop Science, Volume 57, Issue 5, Page 2633-2644, September–October 2017., 2017 Several apomictic Brachiaria (Trin.) Griseb. (syn. Urochloa P. Beauv.) species are commercially important tropical forage grasses, but little is known about the interspecific diversity and population structure within this genus. Previously published genus‐level Brachiaria phylogenies were conducted with few genotypes and contradicted well‐established ...

Initial Recovery of Organic Matter of a Grass-Covered Constructed Soil after Coal Mining
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2016 Revegetation is essential to improve the quality of constructed soils. This study investigated effects of perennial grasses on total organic carbon (TOC) stock, organic matter (OM) fractions and on quality of a recently constructed soil, after coal ...

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 4, July/August 2025.Abstract Brachiaria grass (Urochloa spp.) is one of the key forage grasses utilized in sub‐Saharan Africa for improving livestock productivity, particularly in terms of milk production and feed sufficiency. Limited information on its genetic resources has hindered its breeding and conservation strategies.

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 9, Issue 2, December 2024.Sorghum halepense (johnsongrass) has the ability to retain high rhizospheric ammonium. This suggests potential nitrification inhibition capability of johnsongrass. Under resource competition on the roadsides, johnsongrass might have undergone adaptive evolution to retain more ammonium than in croplands, which are fertilized periodically with nutrients,

Grassland Research, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 318-330, December 2024.Our study revealed how landscape transformation from native savanna to improved pastures increases soil organic carbon (SOC) in two regions of Colombia. The results show a significant change in SOC to along profile (0–60 cm), influenced by factors such as grass type, geographic conditions, and soil texture.
