Selectivity of some herbicides to cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.), grown for seed production

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...

Increased Meiotic Irregularity Accompanying Inbreeding in Dactylis Glomerata L.

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, ...

Fungal Diversity The endophytic mycobiota of the grass Dactylis glomerata

Fungal endophytes were isolated from asymptomatic and symptomatic plants of Dactylis glomerata sampled in different ecosystems in Spain. Fungi were identified using morphological, as well as molecular methods based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and ribosomal DNA sequencing. Molecular data provided a framework for identification and assessing the phylogenetic position of isolates. One hun...
