Studnicki M., Mądry W., Schmidt J. (2013): Comparing the efficiency of sampling strategies to establish a representative in the phenotypic-based genetic diversity core collection of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.). Czech J. Genet. Plant Breed., 49: 36–47. Establishing a core collection that represents the genetic diversity of the entire collection with a minimum loss of its original divers...

(1) Background: sewage sludge is a by-product of wastewater treatment, which needs to be managed appropriately, e.g., in composting processes. The application municipal composts (MSSCs) as soil amendment potential way effectively manage sludge. (2) Methods: this paper presents the results vegetation pot experiment undertaken assess suitability Dactylis glomerata L. and MSSC aided phytostabiliza...

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...

Increasing plant diversity in the perennial phase of pasture-crop rotations is predicted to positively affect belowground productivity and microbial communities and, turn, augment agroecosystem services including soil health carbon storage. Using two grass one legume forage species grown as monocultures combined four intercropped combinations, we evaluated how identity richness influence produc...
