Advances in microbial pretreatment for biorefining of perennial grasses
AbstractPerennial grasses are potentially abundant sources of biomass for biorefineries, which can produce high yields with low input requirements,...

Convergent evolution of desiccation tolerance in grasses
Desiccation tolerance has evolved repeatedly in plants as an adaptation to survive extreme environments. Plants use similar biophysical and cellular...

Characterization of the DNA accessibility of chloroplast genomes in grasses
Although the chloroplast genome (cpDNA) of higher plants is known to exist as a large protein-DNA complex called ‘plastid nucleoid’, researches on...

Are cereal grasses a single genetic system?
In 1993, a passionate and provocative call to arms urged cereal researchers to consider the taxon they study as a single genetic system and...

Flavonoids in major cereal grasses: distribution, functions, biosynthesis, and applications
Cereal food crops like maize ( Zea mays ), rice ( Oryza sativa ), sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor ) and wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) are members of the grass family...

Grasses procure key soil nutrients for clovers
Rhizobial nitrogen fixation in legumes provides spillover benefits to neighbouring plants such as pasture grasses. Generally, it is understood to be...

Contrasting patterns in phylogenetic and biogeographic factories of invasive grasses (Poaceae) across the globe
Grasses (Family Poaceae) are among the most successful invasive plants in the world. Here we evaluate phylogenetic and biogeographic patterns of...

Assessment of Production and Soil Conservation Potential of Aromatic Grasses Grown Under Shifting Cultivated Degraded Hill Slopes of Eastern Ghats, India
Unregulated shifting cultivation in Eastern Ghat, India has accelerated soil erosion rates and caused unproductive land area forcing the local tribes...

Grasses and shrubs have decoupled legacy effects related to plant nutrition: the interplay of symbiotic fungi and nutrients in soil
Background and aimsVegetation patchiness is a distinctive feature of arid ecosystems that strongly shapes plant-soil interactions. While fertility...

Effects of native and invasive grasses on the survival and growth of tree seedlings in a neotropical savanna
Invasive grasses have spread over large areas of ancient savannas worldwide and have extensively impacted native landscapes in the neotropics....

Genetic and Genomic Resources of Range Grasses: Status and Future Prospects
This paper describes the current scenario of the genetic and genomic resources of the range grasses. The majority of world’s rangeland, which make up...

Legume nutrition is improved by neighbouring grasses
BackgroundCombinations of grasses and nitrogen-fixing legumes are ubiquitous in most natural and derived pastoral grasslands. This was not formerly...

Different phenological behaviour of native and exotic grasses extends the period of pollen exposure with clinical implications in the Madrid Region, Spain
Exotic allergenic species constitute an important element of global change and are an emergent health issue in Europe due to their potential...

Rethinking the sub-Antarctic terrestrial N-cycle: evidence for organic N acquisition by Marion Island grasses
Organic N (oN, e.g., amino acids) is an important N-resource for plants in soils replete with oN but not inorganic N (iN; i.e., NH 4 + and NO 3 − ), such...

Nutritional, Physiological, and Enzymatic Responses of Native Grasses from the Pampa Biome Cultivated Under Excess Zinc
Some soils in Brazil are contaminated with zinc (Zn). Even though it is an essential micronutrient, Zn, when in excess, harms plant growth. The Pampa...

Shading effect and forage production of tropical grasses in Brazilian semi-arid silvopastoral systems
An experiment was carried out in order to evaluate the effect of shading on the physiology and canopy structural characteristics of tropical grasses...

Riparian and terrestrial grasses display unexpected tolerance to cool-season inundation
Vegetation condition has declined along many regulated river systems globally due to alteration of flow regimes via flow regulation. Understanding...

Variation in productivity and essential oil composition of aromatic grasses grown in mid-hill conditions of the Western Himalayas
Improper handling degrades the quality of the produce and causes economic losses. Thus, to study the effect of post-harvest handling on essential oil...

Ballistochory in the herbaceous bamboo genus Reitzia (Poaceae, Bambusoideae, Olyreae): the second report of this dispersal syndrome in grasses
Seed dispersal is essential for the success of plants, allowing them to find advantageous areas to inhabit while avoiding inbreeding. Although...

Seed-borne diseases in pasture grasses and legumes: state of the art and gaps in knowledge
Information on fungal seed-borne diseases on main pasture grasses and legumes from the literature was reviewed. These diseases reduce biomass...
