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 ... -
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 ... -
Prospective genetic gain to improve salinity tolerance in a population of Panicum coloratum var. coloratum with two different selection methods
(CIAT, 2021)Panicum coloratum var. coloratum is a subtropical grass for potentially increasing forage production in lowly productive environments where cattle-raising activities have been relocated. Heritability was estimated for ... -
Somatic embryogenesis from in vitro anther culture of apomictic buffel grass genotypes and analysis of regenerated plants using flow cytometry
(2014-06)Buffel grass is a fodder grass that reproduces mainly via apomixis. Using in vitro tissue culture in apomictic species provides alternatives that can be applied in a breeding program. The aims of this work were to establish ... -
Wild halophytic species as forage sources: key aspects for plant breeding
(Wiley; British Grassland Society; European Grassland Federation, 2019-02-20)The use of wild halophytic species as forage resources in saline environments has gained increasing attention. Argentina ranks third in area of saline soils in the world, with a third of its territory showing various degrees ...
