Two species of Agropyron grass differed strikingly in their capacity to compete for phosphate in soil interspaces shared with a common competitor, the sagebrush Artemisia tridentata. Of the total phosphorus-32 and -33 absorbed by Artemisia, 86 percent was from the interspace shared with Agropyron spicatum and only 14 percent from that shared with Agropyron desertorum. Actively absorbing mycorrh...

The genomes of five Agropyron Gaertner, 1770 species were characterized using all potential di- or trinucleotide simple sequence repeat (SSR) motifs and four satellite DNA repeats as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes. The sites of 5S and 45S rDNA were relatively conserved among the diploid and tetraploid species. A number of sites for the dinucleotide SSRs AC, AG, and pSc119.2 wa...

The research presents the problem of liquidation dumps substandard raw materials zeolite-containing rocks Holinsky deposit, measures for reclamation disturbed lands. most effective way to restore ecosystems is renaturation. Time intervals succession are considered. Renaturation lands consists 6 stages. Possible dominant plants proposed options considered in detail: Stipa lessingiana, Poa platen...

Magnesium Concentration in Agropyron desertorum Fertilized with Mg and 1st H. F. Mayland and D. L. Grunes2 of humid pastures with N and K often increases the i id of tetany 3 4 nc ence ( , 4). Grass tetany, a Mg deficiency in ruminants, is responsible for large economic losses throughout temperate regions. Significant livestock losses occur in the semiarid western United States primarily when l...

three grass species, agropyron desertorum (agde) and agropyron elongatum (agel) and recently, bromus tomentellus (brto) are mainly used for range improvement as mixed seeding in semi-arid areas of iran. because there is little information about management of these grasses, this study was conducted at the sisab research station in northern iran to evaluate their responses to grazing management a...

considering forage grass species, germination is one of the important stagesconcerning the growing stage that is often influenced by environmental stresses,particularly salinity and drought stresses. thus, this study aims to assess the effects ofsalinity and drought stresses on germination characteristics and seedling growth of desertwheatgrass, agropyron desertorum (fisch. ex link) schult. in ...
