Opportunities for Napier Grass (Pennisetum purpureum) Improvement Using Molecular Genetics
Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.) is a fast-growing perennial grass native to Sub-Saharan Africa that is widely grown across the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is a multipurpose forage crop, primarily used to feed cattle in cut and carry feeding systems. Characterization and diversity studies on a small collection of Napier grasses have identified a moderate level...
متن کاملAssessment 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 کاملLipophilic extractives from the cortex and pith of elephant grass ( Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.) stems.
The composition of lipophilic extractives in the cortex and pith of elephant grass ( Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.) stems was thoroughly studied by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The predominant compounds were fatty acids followed by sterols (in free and conjugated forms as esters and glycosides). Other steroid compounds, as steroid hydrocarbons and ketones, were also present. Addition...
متن کاملChemical Composition, Herbage Yield and Nutritive Value of Panicum antidotale and Pennisetum orientale for Nili Buffaloes at Different Clipping Intervals
This study was carried out to establish clipping interval of Pennisetum orientale (PO) and Panicum antidotale (PA) to get maximum biomass production with optimal nutritional value for Nili buffaloes. Two clipping intervals i.e. CI1, and CI2 (clipped after every one and two months, respectively) were studied for both grasses. The data on various parameters were compared with PO and PA each clipp...
متن کاملThe endophytic bacteria isolated from elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach) promote plant growth and enhance salt tolerance of Hybrid Pennisetum
BACKGROUND Elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach) and Hybrid Pennisetum (Pennisetum americanum × P. purpureum Schumach) are tall, fast-growing perennial C4 bunchgrasses that have been in recent developed as the most appropriate biomass feedstock in many countries for exploring various biofuel products. However, the challenges of increasing plant biomass yield and enhancing their stress ...
