Thirty-seven warm-season bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) accessions, two cool-season grasses (Lolium perenne and Festuca arundinacea), 'Transvala' digitgrass (Digitaria decumbens), and Sorghum bicolor were evaluated to determine host suitability and susceptibility to the sting nematode, B. longicaudatus, in a 140-day microcell bioassay. All seven of the evaluated commercial cultivars of Cynodon wer...

The objective of this study was to verify and compare the P availability in an Oxisol cultivated with Megathyrsus maximus cv BRS-Zuri Urochloa decumbens Basilisk predict best soil extractor pastures Southern Amazonia. Two experiments were carried out, one grass other Signal grass. experimental design randomized blocks five doses P2O5 based on maximum capacity adsorption (MCAP), corresponding 0,...

The present study aims to determine the hematology, serum biochemistry, and acute phase proteins (APPs) responses of both cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in sheep fed with low high levels Brachiaria decumbens (B. decumbens) diets at different time phases. A total 30 6-month-old male Dorper cross were randomly divided into three treatment groups consisted 10 each. Treatment 1 (control) Pennisetum purp...

Morphological variation in three rarely collected European species of the genus Lasiochernes Beier, 1932 is thoroughly examined in the present study. Detailed descriptions of previously ignored morphological characters of Lasiochernes cretonatus Henderickx, 1998, Lasiochernes jonicus (Beier, 1929) and Lasiochernes pilosus (Ellingsen, 1910) are presented. The female of Lasiochernes cretonatus an...

In a loamy clay soil of the Colombian Altillanura, animal production legumes Centrosema molle accession CIAT 15160, C. macrocarpum 15799 and Grona heterocarpa subsp. ovalifolia (syn. Desmodium ovalifolium) cv. Maquenque, in association with Urochloa decumbens Brachiaria decumbens) Decumbens, was evaluated under rotational grazing zebu Brahman steers. The experiment established native savanna ar...

Background Corbichonia decumbens (Forssk.) Exell (Molluginaceae), recently has moved to Lophiocarpaceae as per angiospermic plant group (APG) III system, is an annual or short-lived, dwarf, glabrous subshrub, prefers to grow on rocky places and on sand-stones in dry, hot areas of Rajasthan. This is the potential plant with medicinal properties. Vegetative organs under study show antioxidant, an...

Apomixis, asexual reproduction through seed, enables breeders to identify and faithfully propagate superior heterozygous genotypes by seed without the disadvantages of vegetative propagation or the expense and complexity of hybrid seed production. The availability of new tools such as genotyping by sequencing and bioinformatics pipelines for species lacking reference genomes now makes the const...

Considering the development of bacterial resistance to chemical antibiotics and their adverse effects on environment public health, there is a growing demand replace them with plant-based derivatives or combine these green agents give synergistic effects. In this study, antimicrobial properties essential oils extracts six medicinal plants from Ahvaz region, Iran, against 12 gram-positive gram-n...

The surface mycobiota of three types of Slovenian dry-cured meat products were isolated from a total of 75 items of product that were sampled periodically during the drying/ripening stage of processing. The predominant filamentous fungal genus isolated was Penicillium. Eurotium spp., Aspergillus versicolor and Cladosporium spp. were isolated from only two of the products. Eight Penicillium spec...
