Methods to determine dormancy and preharvest sprouting resistance in Barley
Preharvest sprouting (PHS), defined as germination of seeds on plants before harvest, is an ever-present problem and concern for barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) growers, processors, and researchers worldwide. A major factor leading to PHS is a lack of seed dormancy, the failure of viable seeds to germinate under favorable conditions. The objectives of this research were to identify a simple, quick, ...

Mode of reproduction of colchicine-induced paspalum plicatulum tetraploids
Paspalum plicatulum Michx. is a wild forage grass species. The common races are tetraploid and apomictic, while sexual diploid representatives have been reported sporadically. Objectives of this study were to induce sexual 4x individuals from sexual diploids, determine the capacity for hybridization with other apomictic 4x species closely related with P. plicatulum, and thus create a tetraploid ...

Composition, vigor, and proteome of mature soybean seeds developed under high temperature
The effects of high temperature treatment on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed composition, vigor, and proteome were investigated using mature dry seeds harvested from plants grown in environment-controlled chambers. High day/night temperatures (37/30°C) from stages R5 through R8 altered ratios of individual fatty acids to total fatty acid compared to the control (27/18°C). Concentration of ...

No persistent changes in pasture vegetation or seed bank composition after fallowing
The practice of fallowing pastures during the growing season is intended to increase plant diversity and allow natural reseeding of forage grasses. Fallowing delivers these benefits in New Zealand, but has been adopted on rotationally stocked farms in the northeastern United States with little or no quantitative assessment. Allowing the pasture to remain ungrazed may allow weedy species to ...
