A sexual/apomictic consensus linkage map of Eragrostis curvula at tetraploid level

BMC Plant Biology
Background 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.

A Precise Reproductive Calendar of Sexual and Apomictic Genotypes of Eragrostis curvula

Plants
Eragrostis curvula serves as a valuable model for studying diplosporous apomixis due to its unique reproductive mode, wide ploidy range, and extensive genomic resources.

Why Conservation of Australian Native Temperate Grasslands Needs to Occur at Different Scales—From Landscapes to Patches, and From Governments to Individuals

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Native temperate grasslands are among the most widespread biomes in Australia, and they have been extensively modified, primarily for livestock grazing and cropping on the fertile soils ideal for agriculture. In the 1980s and 1990s, foundational work by Jamie Kirkpatrick and others brought attention to the widespread loss of these ecosystems ...

Interactive effects of plant litter type and yak excrement on litter decomposition in a shrub‐encroached alpine meadow

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 7, Page 1799-1814, July 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In the plant community with a shrub–grass mosaic, the main types of litter include herbaceous litter and its mixed forms with shrub leaves and stems. However, the quantitative relationship between the litter composition type and the litter decomposition, as well as how ...

A Logistic Regression Model for the Prediction of Vegetation Recruitment in the Kinu River, Japan

River Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 786-796, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Vegetation overgrowth in rivers worldwide is a considerable problem because it can potentially reduce the flood‐flowing capacity and cause biodiversity loss. In this study, we developed a model to predict vegetation recruitment during the initial stages of secondary succession, which leads to vegetation overgrowth.

Species delimitation and molecular dating of southern African Tetramesa (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae): An understudied microhymenopteran group

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract The genus Tetramesa Walker (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) comprises over 200 species of herbivorous wasps that feed exclusively on grasses. Recent field surveys in South Africa for grass biological control programs have uncovered a large diversity of potential Tetramesa on African grasses.

Structure‐guided insights into the biology of fungal effectors

New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 1460-1477, May 2025.
Summary Phytopathogenic fungi cause enormous yield losses in many crops, threatening both agricultural production and global food security. To infect plants, they secrete effectors targeting various cellular processes in the host. Putative effector genes are numerous in fungal genomes, and they generally encode proteins with no sequence homology to ...

Pyricularia oryzae: Lab star and field scourge

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 25, Issue 4, April 2024.
The fungal pathogen Pyricularia oryzae (syn. Magnaporthe oryzae) is the causal agent of blast disease on cereals and grasses and a model organism in plant–pathogen interaction research. Abstract Pyricularia oryzae (syn. Magnaporthe oryzae), is a filamentous ascomycete that causes a major disease called blast on cereal crops, as well as on a wide ...

Integrative gene expression and heterologous functional analysis identify candidate regulators of apomixis in Eragrostis curvula

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionEragrostis curvula (weeping lovegrass) is a perennial forage grass in which diploid genotypes reproduce sexually whereas polyploids display pseudogamous diplosporous apomixis.
