Plants synthesize diverse diterpenoids with numerous functions in organ development and stress resistance. However, the role of glandular trichome (GT) GT-localized biosynthesis plants remains unknown. Here, identification 10 diterpene synthases (diTPSs) revealed diversity diterpenoid Artemisia annua. Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) between AaKSL1 AaCPS2 plastids highlighted their potential...

The industry trend to golf putting greens which produce greater ball-roll distances has led to development of high density creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris, Huds.) cultivars that tolerate very low mowing heights. These cultivars also have a finer leaf texture and improved competitiveness with the invasive weed, annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.). In this multi-year field study, newer cultiva...

Uses Traditional and Artisanal Used traditionally in China to treat fevers and hemorrhoids. Used in the crafting of aromatic wreaths, as a flavoring for spirits such as vermouth, and as a source of essential oils for the perfume industry.

Of the plants commonly found in Los Angeles County whose responses to smog 2 have been under extensive observation, Poa annua (annual bluegrass) was selected as one worthy of intensive study. It was early reported as one of the most sensitive of the plants observed in the field (11). Because it has a regular habit of growth, can be easily and quiekly grown in small containers, and because the b...
