Deep roots through time and crops: insight from five seasons at DeepRootLab

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Deep‐rooted crops accessing water and nutrients from deep soil layers enhance the resource base for crop production. However, studying these roots in field conditions is labour‐intensive, limiting research scope. We established a field root research facility with 48 plots for replicated experiments.

qPCR as a Selective Tool for Cytogenetics

open access: yesPlants, 2022
qPCR is widely used in quantitative studies of plant genomes and transcriptomes. In this article, this method is considered as an auxiliary step in the preparation and selection of markers for FISH analysis.

Assessing the Effect of a Deep‐Rooted Grass on Belowground Carbon Storage in Cultivated Land: Insights From a Multi‐Site US Study

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Agriculture depletes soil organic carbon (SOC), partly due to the exclusion of deep‐rooted perennials. Reintroducing deep‐rooted perennials to cultivated land may help to mitigate SOC loss. We quantified the effect of deep roots on SOC by comparing 8 to 30 year‐old stands of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) with paired annual row crop fields ...

Improving Wildflower Longevity in Roadside Seeding Areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Re-vegetation efforts on bare roadsides of newly-constructed highways are primarily focused on the stabilization of soil to reduce rates of erosion. The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) seeds roadsides with a diverse mixture of grasses and ...

Novel Approaches to Invasive Annual Grass Management: Assessing Efficacy and Impacts on Target Species and Plant Diversity

open access: yesApplied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 2, April/June 2026.
Understanding how target weeds and surrounding plant communities respond to traditional and novel management is essential to meeting agricultural sustainability goals. We monitored target species cover (Bromus tectorum) and plant community diversity for 3 years following management.

Dissecting the Complex Genome of Crested Wheatgrass by Chromosome Flow Sorting

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, 2019
Wheatgrass (Agropyron sp.) is a potential source of beneficial traits for wheat improvement. Among them, crested wheatgrass [A. cristatum (L.) Gaertn.] comprises a complex of diploid, tetraploid, and hexaploid forms with the basic genome P, with some ...

Vitamins in Cereals: A Critical Review of Content, Health Effects, Processing Losses, Bioaccessibility, Fortification, and Biofortification Strategies for Their Improvement

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition, 2021
Around the world, cereals are stapled foods and good sources of vitamins A, B, and E. As cereals are inexpensive and consumed in large quantities, attempts are being made to enrich cereals using fortification and biofortification in order to address ...

Preservation of Nutritional and Functional Properties of Wheatgrass (Triticum aestivum L.) by Cast‐Tape Drying and Freeze‐Drying

open access: yesJournal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 49, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study shows that cast‐tape drying at 80°C yields wheatgrass powder with quality and phenolic retention like freeze‐drying, but in shorter time and with lower energy requirements. The results highlight CTD as a practical and efficient method for processing heat‐sensitive, chlorophyll‐rich ingredients.

Relationship of Latitude-of-Origin to Winter Survival and to Forage and Seed Yields of Wheatgrass (Agropyron species) in Subarctic Alaska [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Five field experiments evaluating and comparing numerous grasses were conducted over seven years at the Matanuska Research Farm (61.6°N) near Palmer in southcentral Alaska.
