Contrasting adaptive responses to cope with drought stress and recovery in Cenchrus ciliaris L. and their implications for tissue lignification
(Wiley, 2020-11-12)Cenchrus ciliaris L. is a widely used species for cattle feed in arid and semi-arid regions due to good forage value and known tolerance to drought conditions. Here, we provide insights to adaptive responses of two contrasting ... -
Environmental influence on reproductive traits of buffel grass facultative apomictic genotypes and its implication in plant breeding
(Wiley, 2023-10-04)Cenchrus ciliaris L., a perennial C4 grass, is one of the most widely used forage species in warm and dry regions worldwide. The widespread use of the cultivar Texas raises concerns about genetic homogeneity and vulnerability. ... -
Factors Affecting Tocopherol Concentrations in Soybean Seeds
(American Chemical Society, 2016-10-31)Soybean seeds contain several health-beneficial compounds, including tocopherols, which are used by the nutraceutical and functional food industries. Soybean tocopherol concentrations are, however, highly variable. Large ... -
In vitro selection and characterization of buffelgrass somaclones with different responses to water stress
(2017-08)Buffelgrass is a forage grass that reproduces mainly by apomixis. In species with this reproduction mode, in vitro selection allows the incorporation of alternatives in a breeding program. The aims were to define a protocol ... -
Individual and combined effects of drought and heat on antioxidant parameters and growth performance in Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) genotypes
(2018-11)Drought and heat stress are two critical threats to crop growth and sustainable agriculture worldwide. In the last decade, many studies focused on the response of crops to a single stress, nevertheless studying the response ... -
Leaf Photosynthesis and Senescence in Heated and Droughted Field-grown Soybean with Contrasting Seed Protein Concentration
(Elsevier, 2021-06-06)Soybean plants under heat and drought generate a multiplicity of responses in photosynthesis and senescence, impairing growth, yield, and seed quality. The goal of this study was to analyze and quantify independent and ... -
Malondialdehyde content as a potential biochemical indicator of tolerant Cenchrus ciliaris L. genotypes under heat stress treatment
(Wiley, 2012-09)Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) is an important forage grass in arid and semiarid regions. As part of a genetic improvement programme, four genotypes [Biloela (Bl), Americana (Am), Texas (Tx) and Sexual (Sx)] were ... -
Obtaining sexual genotypes for breeding in buffel grass
(2013-09)Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L. syn. Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link) is a species that is highly tolerant to drought and is used primarily as forage in drier regions throughout the subtropics and tropics. It reproduces ... -
Polyamines and flavonoids : key compounds in mycorrhizal colonization of improved and unimproved soybean genotypes
(Springer, 2018-11)Modern breeding programs might have caused a reduction in plant responsiveness to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Flavonoids and polyamines (PAs) are hypothesized to play a role in this symbiosis. We tested the effects ... -
Soybean seed growth dynamics exposed to heat and water stress during the filling period under field conditions
(Wiley, 2021-05-27)Soybean production can be affected by heat (HS) and water stress (WS). However, studies on effects of stresses combination under field conditions are still scarce. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of ...
