An efficient genetic transformation system for tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), using Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated TDNA delivery, is described. Seed-derived embryogenic calli were infected with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 harboring plasmids pTOK47 and pCAMBIA1301. Infected calli were selected at 250 mg L 1 hyg B and the regenerated plantlets at 50 mg L . Using the p...

Arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea) and Chitosan are two well-known materials used in medical and scientific applications. Both materials possess medicinal properties and have the ability to form thick gels. Chitosan-reinforced Arrowroot film was developed and its dielectric characterization was performed at microwave frequencies. Cavity perturbation method was used for the measurement. The study p...

ergovaline, the main ergopeptine alkaloid produced in tall fescue ( fescue arundinacea schreb.) infected with endophyte ( neotyphodium coenophialum morgan- jones & gams), is known to cause tall fescue toxicosis. this study was conducted to examine the presence of fungal endophytes in five populations of tall fescue collected from various regions of iran. the existence of neotyphodium mycelia in...

Many major medications used today are derived from medicinal plants. Humans have traditionally employed bamboo in a variety of ecological and medical applications. Bamboo is one the precious plant resources earth. A tall, thorny tree Bambusa arundinacea, highly reputed commonly referred to as bamboo, member Graminae family found throughout India, moist parts India. Various such leaves, root, sh...

Improving water conservation efforts for golf course turf is a constant industry goal. While creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.; CBG) the preferred fairway species throughout most of cool-humid regions, requirements alternative cool-season with better acute drought tolerance at mowing heights (e.g., <0.5 inch) are not well documented. A 2-yr field study compared two irrigation strategi...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of molds on levels of low molecular mass thiols in grasses. For this purpose, the three grass species Lolium perenne, Festulolium pabulare and Festulolium braunii were cultivated and sampled during four months, from June to September. The same species were also grown under controlled conditions. High-performance liquid chromatography with elec...

Abstract Aims Root tensile tests are often rejected if failure location is outside the middle section of samples. This study aims to identify where and why occurs along a root axis, hence revisit current approaches test-validity. Methods Roots from Festuca arundinacea; Lolium multiflorum; perenne were sampled field-grown plants. tested using universal testing machine. samples randomly allocated...

Residual effeet of a eoneentrated and depotassitied beet vinasse on growth and mineral eomposition of taH feseue (Festuca arundinacea) was studied. Results were compared with those obtained for a mineral fertilizer treatment and a control. Vinasse and inorganie fertilizer had been previously applied to two different soils at two rates for tive years. High doses of vinasse produeed the highest y...

Research is required on sod to explore the differences in management and postharvest practices help inform producers reduce information inefficiencies that affect supply demand of cool-season turfgrass sod. Replicated field experiments were conducted Indiana Minnesota quantify effect species (strong creeping red fescue [Festuca rubra L. ssp. Gaudin], Chewings [F. commutata tall arundinacea Schr...
