Rhizome growth and development is regulated by phytohormone. However, endogenous phytohormones affect rhizome initiation, sustained in perennial grass species remains elusive. In this study, we investigated the morphological characteristics content of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), zeatin (ZT), gibberellic (GA3), abscisic (ABA) rhizomes two different Kentucky bluegrass. Using ultra-performance liq...

Study on the livestock diet is one of the main priorities in the management of rangeland in Iran. So, this study was conducted to compare preference values of plant species in three age classes of Kaboudeh sheep (one, three and five year old ones) in rangelands of Bavanat, Fars province, Iran.

Genetic diversity of fungal endophytes, Neotyphodium species, was studied in grasses Festuca arundinacea, F. pratensis and Lolium perenne using AFLP  markers. Fungi were isolated from the host leaf sheaths and Neotyphodium species were selected based on morphological characteristics. To confirm identity of selected fungi belonging to the genus Neotyphodium, polymerase chain reaction was perform...
