Abstract:
... The establishment of complementary native grass species could be an ideal method of dealing with existing problems of veld degradation and inadequate forage quantity and quality of pastures. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of native grasses viz., Anthephora pubescens, Cenchrus ciliaris, Chloris gayana, Dactylis glomerata, Digitaria eriantha, Eragrostis curvula, Festuca ...

Abstract:
... CONTEXT: Landscape-scale conservation planning is key to the protection of biodiversity globally. Central to this approach is the development of multifunctional rural landscapes (MRLs) that maintain the viability of natural ecosystems and promote animal and plant dispersal alongside agricultural land uses. OBJECTIVES: We investigate evidence that non-native grasses (NNGs) in rangelands and other l ...

Abstract:
... Semi-arid rangelands, which have retrogressed beyond a certain threshold and could not rest-recover, can only be restored by mechanical inputs helping the re-establishment of vegetation. Therefore, different over-sown species and mechanical restoration methods (hollows-dyker plough, furrows-ripper/sub-soiler and walking-stick planter) were evaluated for the restoration of bare areas on both a sand ...

Abstract:
... Callose, a β-l,3-glucan, is synthesized and deposited in the walls of megaspore mother cells (MMCs) of angiosperms that produce either normal monosporic (>90% of all angiosperm species) or bisporic embryo sacs. Such deposits are absent in angiosperms that produce tetrasporic embryo sacs and were recently shown to be absent in diplosporous Elymus rectisetus (Nees in Lehm.) A. Löve & Connor, Tripsac ...

Abstract:
... Models provide a quantitative means to evaluate yield response of forage grasses to applied N and water availability. The objective of this analysis was to estimate model parameters (A, b, c) for bermu. dagrasses and bunchgrasses grown at the same location and during the same time period. The logistic equation was used to relate annual dry matter production to applied N for three bermudagrasses [C ...
