Sulfur dioxide (SO2), a major air pollutant in developing countries, is highly toxic to plants. To achieve better air quality and landscape, planting appropriate grass species in severe SO2 polluted areas is very critical. Cynodon dactylon, a widely used warm season turfgrass species, has good SO2-tolerant ability. In this study, we selected 9 out of 38 C. dactylon accessions from Southwest Chi...

Fifty-five wild accessions of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) were collected from southwest China (Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Tibet), and their genetic diversity was analyzed using simple sequence repeat markers. A total of 267 polymorphic bands were detected with 18 primer combinations. The genetic similarity among the accessions ranged from 0.688 to 0.894 with an average of 0.79...

The aim of the present study was to screen cardioactive herbs from Western Ghats of India. The heart beat rate (HBR) and blood flow during systole and diastole were tested in zebrafish embryos. We found that Cynodon dactylon (C. dactylon) induced increases in the HBR in zebrafish embryos with a HBR of (3.968±0.344) beats/s, which was significantly higher than that caused by betamethosone [(3.77...

Peer-reviewed research is not available to explain Polygonum aviculare L. (prostrate knotweed) control in Cynodon dactylon (bermudagrass) turf, yet P. common and troublesome managed C. turf. Six experiments were conducted determine options for golf roughs Hanover, VA. Studies evaluated hormone, photosystem, ALS inhibiting herbicides. Among a group of eighteen herbicide treatments, only six cont...

Abstract Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. is one of the worst agricultural weeds and invasive species in world, being widely established many countries. Despite its impact on agriculture growing awareness authorities consumers about consequences synthetic herbicides, alternative control methods for this weed have been poorly reviewed. A systematic review literature published over last 50 years was u...

rapid expansion of the industrial sector adds more effluent into the agricultural land and in the vicinity of industry, which possesses the major threat of land contamination and environmental degradation. the present study was conducted to determine toxic metal concentration in fly ash and metal accumulation potential of the saccharum munja and cynodon dactylon, the two main grass species grow...

background: urinary oxalate and citrate are the keyfactors in caox urolithiasis of cats and gamma glutamyltransferase is a good test for assessment of kidney damage.favorable effects of cynodon dactylon on calcium oxalate stoneformation have recently been proved in rats. objectives: thepresent study was designed to investigate the alteration ofurinary oxalate, citrate, and ggt after administrat...
