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 ... -
Selecting salt-tolerant clones and evaluating genetic variability to obtain parents of new diploid and tetraploid germplasm in rhodesgrass (Chloris gayana K.)
(2013-01)We evaluated survival percentage under salt stress in 46 diploid and tetraploid clones of rhodesgrass (Chloris gayana K.) with the aim of obtaining salt tolerant clones. Fifteen clones were selected at 600 mM NaCl under ... -
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 ...
