A sexual/apomictic consensus linkage map of Eragrostis curvula at tetraploid level [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Apomixis is an asexual reproduction process that allows plants to bypass meiosis and fertilization, resulting in clonal seeds that are genetically identical to the maternal genotype.

Phytolith Content Negatively Affects Forage Quality of Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Nees
Agronomy, 2023 Phytoliths are intra and extracellular siliceous deposits present in different plant tissues. Si uptake and transport are mediated by Lsi genes and its concentration is associated with forage quality.
