Transcriptome Analysis Revealed a Positive Role of Ethephon on Chlorophyll Metabolism of Zoysia japonica under Cold Stress. [PDF]
Zoysia japonica is a warm-season turfgrass with a good tolerance and minimal maintenance requirements. However, its use in Northern China is limited due to massive chlorophyll loss in early fall, which is the main factor affecting its distribution and ...

Establishment and optimization of high-frequency regeneration system for Zoysia japonica Steed
Regeneration system of Zoysia japonica Steud. in vitro was studied with leaves as explants. The results showed that optimal medium for callus induction was MS+1.5 mg·L-1 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)+0.5 tng·L-1 6-benzyladenine (6-BA)+26 g·L-1 ...

Functional Characterization of the Pheophytinase Gene, ZjPPH, From Zoysia japonica in Regulating Chlorophyll Degradation and Photosynthesis. [PDF]
Pheophytinase (PPH), the phytol hydrolase, plays important roles in chlorophyll degradation. Nevertheless, little attention has been paid to the PPHs in warm-season grass species; neither its detailed function in photosynthesis has been systematically ...

Two mutations in the same MYC-bHLH transcription factor cause segregation of purple coloration of stolons and seed heads in <i>Zoysia japonica</i> × <i>Zoysia matrella</i> F<sub>2</sub> and F<sub>1</sub> populations. [PDF]
Anthocyanins play diverse roles in plants, including attracting pollinators and protecting cells from oxidative damage. In zoysiagrass, a warm season turfgrass, their accumulation in seed heads and stolons can decrease the aesthetic appeal. In this study,
