Investigations on Xeriphytic Festuca Spp. From Morocco and Their Associated Endophytes
Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea var. genuina Schreb.) is an allohexaploid with the 2n genomic formula of PPG1G1G2G2 (Sleper and West, 1996). The P genome is derived from the diploid meadow fescue (F. pratensis H...

Root development of bermudagrass and tall fescue as affected by cutting interval and growth regulators
A study was conducted to characterize changes in bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon [L.] Pers.) and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) root development over time and with depth, and to determine the effects of...

The effect ofAcremonium coenophialum on the growth and nematode infestation of tall fescue
The presence of the endophytic fungusAcremonium coenophialum Morgan-Jones et Gams in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) induces toxicity when this grass is grazed by cattle; however, there is evidence that...
