Agronomic and molecular characterization of Chloris gayana cultivars and salinity response during germination and early vegetative growth
(CIAT, 2019-01)Chloris gayana is a warm-season grass, often cultivated in areas where soil salinity is a major constraint for forage production. Five cultivars (2 unselected populations and 3 synthetic varieties) were evaluated through ... -
Elongation growth in leaf blades of Chloris gayana under saline conditions
(Elsevier, 2003)In Chloris gayana, salinity-associated yield decreases are due mainly to leaf area reductions. To understand the physiological basis for such reduction, the effects of salinity were studied on the spatial and temporal ... -
Physiological causes for decreased productivity under high salinity in Boma, a tetraploid Chloris gayana cultivar
(CSIRO Publishing, 2001)Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana Kunth) is widely cultivated in the semi-arid tropics and favoured for salt tolerance; nevertheless, productivity decreases significantly under saline conditions, especially in tetraploid ... -
Salinity induced anatomical and morphological changes in Chloris gayana Kunth roots
(Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, 2011)Chloris gayana Kunth is a grass species valuable as forage which was introduced into Argentina to be used as pasture in saline soils of subtropical and warm-temperate zones, given its good adaptability to drought, salinity ... -
Why are Chloris gayana leaves shorter in salt-affected plants? Analyses in the elongation zone
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2006-11)Reduced hydraulic conductance calculated from growth data was suggested to be the main reason for reduced leaf expansion in salt-stressed Chloris gayana (Rhodes grass). In this work, xylem vessel cross-sections and wall ...
