Assessment of genetic diversity in accessions of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) and napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) using microsatellite (ISSR) markers
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) and napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach) are the most economically important species in the genus Pennisetum. Knowledge of genetic diversity of these two species would enhance their potentials for utilization. The present work assessed the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship among Nigerian and Indian accessions of pearl millet an...
متن کاملWaterlogging-induced changes in root architecture of germplasm accessions of the tropical forage grass Brachiaria humidicola
Waterlogging is one of the major factors limiting the productivity of pastures in the humid tropics. Brachiaria humidicola is a forage grass commonly used in zones prone to temporary waterlogging. Brachiaria humidicola accessions adapt to waterlogging by increasing aerenchyma in nodal roots above constitutive levels to improve oxygenation of root tissues. In some accessions, waterlogging reduce...
متن کاملMorpho-anatomical adaptations to waterlogging by germplasm accessions in a tropical forage grass
Soil waterlogging reduces gas exchange between the soil and the atmosphere, leading to oxygen deprivation in the rhizosphere. Brachiaria spp. are the most widelysown forage grasses in tropical America. Among commercial Brachiaria grasses, B. humidicola shows superior tolerance to waterlogged soils based on maintenance of growth and reduced leaf chlorophyll loss and senescence. However, little i...
متن کاملGenetic Engineering for the Improvement of Forage Grass Quality
The forage quality of warm season perennial grasses grown in the Southern States, subtropics, and the tropics is often inadequate and is a major limitation to satisfactory animal performance. Quality improvement of those warm season grasses has been a high priority research objective in breeding programs. Hammond (1987) pointed out that C4 tropical and subtropical grasses generally have lower q...
متن کاملBiotechnological application of sustainable biogas production through dry anaerobic digestion of Napier grass
Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum), represents an interesting substrate for biogas production. The research project evaluated biogas potential production from dry anaerobic digestion of Napier grass using batch experiment. To enhance the biogas production from ensiled Napier grass, thermal and alkaline pre-treatments were performed in batch mode. Alkali hydrolysis of Napier grass was performed...
