| a high degree of african streak virus diversity within nigerian maize fields includes a new mastrevirus from axonopus compressus. | the a-strain of maize streak virus (msv-a; genus mastrevirus, family geminiviridae), the causal agent of maize streak disease, places a major constraint on maize production throughout sub-saharan africa. in west-african countries such as nigeria, where maize is not cultivated year-round, this msv strain is forced to overwinter in non-maize hosts. in order to both identify uncultivated grasses that might harbour msv-a during the winter season and further characterise the diversity of related maiz ... | 2014 | 24796552 |
| relative salinity tolerance of warm season turfgrass species. | fresh water, coupled with soil salinization in many areas has resulted in an increased need forscreening of salt tolerant turf grasses. relative salinity tolerance of eightwarm season turfgrass species were examined in this study in sand culture. grasses were grown in a glasshouse, irrigated with either distilled water or saline sea water adjusted to 24, 48 or 72 dsm-1. salt tolerances of the grasses were assessed on the basis of their shoot and root growth, leaf firing and turf quality. regress ... | 2011 | 22167942 |
| sheep performance under intensive continuous grazing of native grasslands of paspalum notatum and axonopus compressus in the subtropical region of the highlands of central mexico. | liveweight gain was evaluated in tropical dorper x pelibuey lambs under intensive continuous grazing of native grasslands dominated by paspalum notatum (pn) or axonopus compressus (ac) in the subtropics of central mexico. two trials were undertaken. trial 1 lasted 12 weeks with 10 lambs (initial weight 18 +/- 2.57 kg, 3 months old) per treatment in 2002, and trial 2 for 13 weeks with 8 lambs (initial weight 24.0 +/- 2.0 kg, 4 months old) per treatment. lambs were weighed once per week, and livew ... | 2008 | 18716907 |
| allergic contact dermatitis from grasses. | this study attempts to demonstrate the existence of allergic contact dermatitis from grass, and to develop a patch test series to screen patients with grass intolerance. 6 common grass species from lawns and military training areas were collected. solvent extracts of polar, non-polar and volatile fractions were prepared and used for patch testing in 20 control subjects and 46 patients with a history of grass intolerance. the 20 controls had negative responses to patch testing. 5 out of 46 patien ... | 1997 | 9255483 |
| endophytic fusarium spp. from roots of lawn grass (axonopus compressus). | fungal endophytes are found inside host plants but do not produce any noticeable disease symptoms in their host. in the present study, endophytic fusarium species were isolated from roots of lawn grass (axonopus compressus). a total of 51 isolates were recovered from 100 root segments. two fusarium species, f. oxysporum (53%) and f. solani (47%), were identified based on macroconidia and conidiogenous cell morphology. the detection of endophytic f. oxysporum and f. solani in the roots of lawn gr ... | 2013 | 24575251 |
| isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for axonopus compressus (sw.) beauv. (poaceae) using 454 sequencing technology. | axonopus compressus (sw.) beauv. is a perennial herb widely used as a garden lawn grass. in this study, we used roche 454 pyrosequencing, combined with the magnetic bead enrichment method fiasco, to isolate simple sequence repeat markers from the a. compressus genome. a total of 1942 microsatellite loci were identified, with 53,193 raw sequencing reads. one hundred micro-satellite loci were selected to test the primer amplification efficiency in 24 individuals; 14 primer pairs yielded polymorphi ... | 2015 | 25966244 |
