Background Self-incompatibility (SI) systems prevent self-fertilization in several species of
Poaceae, many of which are economically important forage, bioenergy and turf grasses. Self …

In perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L), annual and seasonal dry matter yield (DMY) and
nutritive quality of herbage are high-priority traits targeted for improvement through selective …

Key message Exploitation of data from a ryegrass breeding program has enabled rapid
development and implementation of genomic selection for sward-based biomass yield with …

Key message Breeding target traits can be broadened to include nutritive value and plant
breeder's rights traits in perennial ryegrass by using in-field regression-based spectroscopy …

A facile method was applied to achieve complete degradation of oxytetracycline to carbon
dioxide and water. In most abiotic degradation, it fails to degrade oxytetracycline to non-toxic …

Lolium multiflorum, one of the most important temperate forage grasses in the world, is used
in integrated crop-livestock systems and as a cover crop. However, it is also one of the main …

Arsenic (As), a highly toxic and carcinogenic heavy metal, poses significant risks to soil and
water quality, while oxytetracycline (OTC), a widely used antibiotic, contributes to …

Ryegrass is the primary pasture crop in New Zealand; however, despite this importance,
gains in yield through conventional breeding have been marginal. Other significant crops …

Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is one of the most important forage grass species in
temperate regions of the world, but it is prone to having poor persistence due to the …

Fitness in tall fescue could be determined as the relative seed production by overcoming self-
incompatibility barriers. This study was an attempt to investigate the effects of plant genotype …
