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

Winterhardiness, Forage Production, and Persistence of Introduced and Native Grasses and Legumes in Southcentral Alaska [PDF]
This study consisted of four separate field experiments, each of six years duration, conducted at the University of Alaska’s Matanuska Research Farm (61.6oN) near Palmer in southcentral Alaska.

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]
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 ...

Dissecting the Complex Genome of Crested Wheatgrass by Chromosome Flow Sorting
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 ...

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]
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.
