Objective: Paspalum scrobiculatum, commonly known as " Kodo " is a millet variety found in India having medicinal and pharmaceutical importance. Crude extracts of chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol, and methanol were evaluated for the... more
This study determined the nutritive value, ensiling characteristics, and in situ disappearance kinetics of bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flügge 'Tifton 9'), perennial peanut (Arachis glabrata Benth. 'Florigraze'), annual... more
The present work intends to clarify the phylogenetic relationships among the species of Paspalum L. belonging to the informal groups Notata/Linearia and Dilatata, and to raise some preliminary hypotheses on the phylogeny of the genus as a... more
The process of silica accumulation in plants is influenced by edaphic, climatic and biotic conditions. Silica concentration in plants varies between 0.1 and 10% of dry weight. A silica content analysis was carried out as a component of... more
A taxonomic account of Paspalum in Egypt is provided. Paspalum vaginatum is newly recorded for the Flora of Egypt in addition to the three previously known species: P. dilatatum, P. distichum and P. racemosum. Paspalum vaginatum can be... more
A study was conducted to determine the effect of conserving bahiagrass as outdoor-stored hay (OSH), barn-stored hay (BSH), or baleage (BAL) on storage losses and lactation performance by Holstein cows. For baleage production, bahiagrass... more
Somatic chromosome numbers were determined for 20 new germplasm accessions of Paspalum, belonging to 17 species collected in Brazil. Chromosome number is reported for the first time for P. reduncum (2n = 18), P. cinerascens (2n = 20), P.... more
(See english abstract below spanish abstract) El objetivo de este ensayo fue evaluar especies C4 con potencial forrajero, bajo efectos del sombreado en plantaciones de Eucalyptus dunnii. Se evaluaron tres tratamientos: Interior del... more
Gametophytic apomixis is regularly associated with polyploidy. It has been hypothesized that apomixis is not present in diploid plants because of a pleiotropic lethal effect associated with monoploid gametes. Rare apomictic triploid... more
Apomixis, a clonal plant reproduction by seeds, is controlled in Paspalum spp. by a single locus which is blocked in terms of recombination. Partial sequence analysis of the apomixis locus revealed structural features of heterochromatin,... more
The objective of this work was to determine the type of inheritance (disomic/polysomic) in tetraploid (2n=4x=40) Paspalum notatum and investigate the transmission pattern of the chromosome region associated with apospory. An F1 family... more

Apomixis is an alternative route of plant reproduction that produces individuals genetically identical to the mother plant through seeds. Apomixis is desirable in agriculture, because it guarantees the perpetuation of superior genotypes... more
Kodomillet ( Paspalum scrobiculatum ) is one of the important and neglected minor millet with high reserves of protein. The cultivation of this crop declined year by year, this situation may be due to the different abiotic stresses... more

Dominance of invasive species is often assumed to be due to a superior ability to acquire resources. However, dominance in plant communities can arise through multiple interacting mechanisms, including disturbance. Inter-specific... more
Background, Aims and ScopeThe global problem concerning contamination of the environment as a consequence of human activities is increasing. Most of the environmental contaminants are chemical by-products and heavy metals such as lead... more
