In vitro digestibility response of cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.) to growth and defoliation: a simple model

Diversity and Relationships of Yield and Quality Traits in Cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.) Genotypes

Cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.) is an important cool season grass species in the moderate climate of Iran. In order to evaluate the yield and quality traits, an experiment was conducted in irrigation conditions using 36 accessions of Dactylis glomerata using a randomized complete block design with three replications in Islamabad, Kermanshah province, Iran in 2010. Characters such as forage dr...

In vitro SCREENING FOR RESISTANCE TO PROLINE ANALOGUES IN ORCHARDGRASS Dactylis glomerata L

Plant regeneration capacity of orchardgrass leaf explants cultured in vitro in the presence of 0.01, 0.1, 1.0 and 10.0mM hydroxyproline (Hyp) or azetidin-2-carboxylic acid (A2CA) was determined. Hyp inhibited to a lower extent than A2CA formation of somatic embryos, respectively plants. Hyp also induced relatively insignificant changes of free amino acid content in the leaves of the regenerants...

Identification of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) cultivars by using simple sequence repeat markers.

The accurate identification of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) cultivars is necessary to ensure purity for consumers, the effective utilization of cultivars, and to protect the intellectual property for breeders. Therefore, this study aimed to use SSR to construct DNA fingerprinting of orchardgrass cultivars. The genetic diversity of 32 orchardgrass cultivars originated from 21 countries, ...

Increased Meiotic Irregularity Accompanying Inbreeding in Dactylis Glomerata L.

Changes in protein thiols in response to salt stress in embryogenic suspension cultures of Dactylis glomerata L.

The aim of the present study is to assess the rate of protein disulphide formation and the activity of NADPH-dependent thioredoxin and glutaredoxin systems, responsible for the reverse reduction of protein and mixed protein-glutathione disulphides, in embryogenic suspension cultures of Dactylis glomerata, subjected to salt stress. Two concentrations of NaCl previously established as enhancing (...
