One important area for which little experimental evidence is available is the snowgrass country. There is a strong body of opinion that in the snowgrass the combined effects of fire and grazing have been responsible for deterioration in vegetative cover and stability. It seems likely that changes in the boundari~s between the snowgrass and fescue communiti~s have been due to, or aggravated by, ...

in the last. Bermuda hay made up a large part of the total dry matter intake during the last 47 days of the trial. Daily intake of protein should have been very adequate in the early part of the test, but would have declined to marginal levels during the last 56 days due to the weather related failure to grow green forage. The overall response to providing 200 mg. of monensin to cattle grazing ...

Pseudomonas putida GM4FR is an endophytic bacterium isolated from aerial plant tissues of Festuca rubra L. Functional annotation of the draft genome (7.1 Mb) revealed 6,272 predicted protein-encoding genes. The genome provides insights into the biocontrol and plant growth-promoting potential of P. putida GM4FR.

La festuca alta (Festuca arundinacea Schreber) es una forrajera perenne de regiones templadas importante en los sistemas producción pecuarios debido a su elevado rendimiento lugares con restricciones ambientales y edáficas. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar el fenotípico diez poblaciones naturalizada ambientes semiáridos subhúmedos Argentina. Los caracteres fenotípicos altura planta,...

Here, we report the 7.4-Mb draft genome sequence of Paenibacillus sp. strain GM2FR, an endophytic bacterium isolated from aerial plant tissues of Festuca rubra L. Genome analysis revealed 6,652 coding gene sequences and several gene clusters involved in plant growth promotion, such as that for the siderophore bacillibactin.

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite primers were developed for the endophytic fungus Epichloë festucae, which is symbiotic with Festuca rubra, to study the population genetics of the species and to compare population structures between E. festucae and its host F. rubra. • METHODS AND RESULTS We developed 14 polymorphic markers using the unplaced genomic scaffold sequences of E. ...

In this paper we provide a brief overview of the two mathematical constructions presented by Yves André during the first two session of Ircam’s “Mathematical School for Musicians and other Non-Mathematicians”. After discussing a musical application of Operator Theory we try to suggest the possible connection between Jean-Yves Girard’s Geometry of Interaction (based on a special case of von Neum...

Traditionally phenology studies have been focused on changes through time, but there exist many instances in ecological research where it is necessary to interpolate among spatially stratified samples. The combined use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Geostatistics can be an essential tool for spatial analysis in phenological studies. Geostatistics are a family of statistics that d...

In spite of the increasing number of studies on the importance of transgenerational plasticity for species response to novel environments, its effects on species ability to respond to climate change are still largely unexplored. We study the importance of transgenerational plasticity for response of a clonal species Festuca rubra. Individuals from four natural populations representing two level...
