    Co-occurring patterns of endophyte infection and genetic structure in the alpine grass, Festuca eskia: implications for seed sourcing in ecological restoration

    Choosing the provenance of seed used in ecological restoration could entail its success. An alternative approach to examine local adaptation in seed sourcing is the assessment of genetic structure and diversit...

    Improving tall fescue shade tolerance: identifying candidate genotypes

    Tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus [Schreb.] Dumort.) is genetically variable for many agronomic traits, so it might be possible to increase its persistence and productivity in shaded agroforestry applications...

    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...

    Endophyte Effects on Growth and Water Relations of Tall Fescue

    The endophyte Neotyphodium coenophialum enhances drought survival of its host tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) in field populations. Detailed studies on growth and water relations are needed during the o...

    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...
