| genome diversity in wild grasses under environmental stress. | patterns of diversity distribution in the isa defense locus in wild-barley populations suggest adaptive selection at this locus. the extent to which environmental selection may act at additional nuclear-encoded defense loci and within the whole chloroplast genome has now been examined by analyses in two grass species. analysis of genetic diversity in wild barley (hordeum spontaneum) defense genes revealed much greater variation in biotic stress-related genes than abiotic stress-related genes. ge ... | 2011 | 22173638 |
| rhizoremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil using australian native grasses. | rhizoremediation involves the breakdown of contaminants in soil resulting from microbial activity that is enhanced in the plant root zone. the objective of this study was to assess australian native grasses for their ability to stimulate removal of aliphatic hydrocarbons from a mine site soil. time-course pot experiments were conducted in a greenhouse with three grass species (cymbopogon ambiguus, brachiaria decumbens, and microlaena stipoides) in a mine site soil experimentally contaminated wit ... | 2010 | 20569970 |
| competition for nitrogen between australian native grasses and the introduced weed nassella trichotoma. | and aims nassella trichotoma is an unpalatable perennial grass weed that invades disturbed native grasslands in temperate regions of south-eastern australia. this experiment investigated whether elevated n levels, often associated with disturbance, increases the competitiveness of n. trichotoma relative to c3 and c4 native australian grasses. | 2005 | 16046460 |
| microbial dynamics of commercial makgeolli depending on the storage temperature. | market fresh makgeolli was stored at different temperatures of 4°c and 25°c to assess the change of the microbial diversity according to the storage temperature and period. yeast counts increased until day 3 of storage and decreased thereafter. general and lactic acid bacterial counts continuously increased during storage. the data indicated that the control of growth of microorganisms, particularly general bacteria and lactic acid bacteria (lab), is essential. total acid levels started to decre ... | 2012 | 22713986 |
| screening of australian native grasses for rhizoremediation of aliphatic hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. | rhizoremediation involves the breakdown of contaminants in soil resulting from microbial activity that is enhanced in the plant root zone. the objective of this study was to identify australian native grass species as suitable candidates for rhizoremediation application. seeds of nine perennial australian native grasses were sown in soil from a mine site and artificially contaminated with a 60:40 diesel/oil mixture at concentrations of 1% (w/w), 0.5% (w/w), and 0% (control). seedling emergence w ... | 2008 | 19260221 |
