There are 600 births, including 7,500 ± included in this family. In each grass species apparently have varieties that are still diverse. There are two main groups of grass species, grass for hot and cold regions. Hot grass type can grow best in hot regions at temperatures from 27 to 35 degrees Celsius, for cold regions grass can grow best at temperatures from 15 to 24 degrees Celsius. The types of grass most popular for hot regions are : a. Bermuda grass (Cynodon L.C. Rich) b. zoesiagrass (Socia Willd) c. Carpetgrass (Axonomus Bov). Grass Species 1 : BERMUDA GRASS Bermuda grass grows wild in the tropics. Bermuda grass has several species: Cynodon dactylon and Cynodon, magennisii, Everglades, Midway P Dee, Royal Cape, Texturf 10, Tithwarf, Tiffin, Tiffrin, Tiffrin, Tiffrin, Tiffton, Tiffton, Tifuy and U3. This type of herb also has a hybrid variety is the first derivative (F1) between C. dactylon with C transvaalensis. These four varieties reproduce vegetatively with a table, can not be on the seed. C dactylon varieties that can be distributed seeds and commercially available in the market Gaimon, New Mexico Sahara, Sonesta, Cheyene, Sundevil. and Arizona Common. Types of grass 2 : Socia Grass Socia grass there are five species, but three are widely used for landscaping, especially for golf courses. The famous Japanese herb (Socia Jaoekaika) and grass or grass beckoned Beijing (Socia Matrella). This species has a growth rate, texture and a tolerance for growth at low temperatures. Japanese grass grows slowly, medium textured and tolerant to low temperatures. The most widely grown varieties are Meyer. Emerald varieties are the result of marriage between Japonica and Tenuifolia very dense, dark green and form beautiful expanses. Grass Species 3 : CARPET GRASS Carpet Grass has about 70 species of grass species, but only two are widely used by Axonopus compressus and Axonopus affinis. This type of herb, such as elephant grass, and mini-grass elephant mini, mini varigata. The grass is roughly textured, low-growing, light green and adapts to the tropical climate. popular types of grass for colder areas such as a. Fescuegrass (Festuca L), b. bluegrass (Poa L.) c. Bentgrass (Agrotis L). Grass Species 4: FESCUEGRASS This type of herb has about 100 species or species in the genus Festuca and there are six species commonly used mainly for golf courses in temperate countries. Grass Species 5: Bluegrass This type of herb has more than 200 species. Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) and Canada Bluegrass (Poa compressus) are usually planted. the feature of this herb is The leaves have the shape of a boat and there is a bright line parallel to both sides of the ship leaving the center. A variety of grass varieties such as Brunswick, A-34 and Baron. Difference in color, texture, density, tolerance to short cuts, resistance to pests and diseases and other parameters. In temperate regions/cold or tropical highlands, grass is widely grown for sports fields, parks and golf courses, including for football turf. Species of grass 6 : Bentgrass These herbs have approximately 125 species scattered across the temperate and tropical highlands. This type of grass is commonly used for golf courses, like creeping Bentgrass (Agrostis palustris, A. stolonifera). This look is finely textured. The varieties are popular in America Washington (C-50), Toronto (C-15) and Primorye. Vegetatively multiply herbs, usually more even appearance.

Merrill and applications to comparative genomic analysis and QTL mapping of resistance to fall armyworm Xiaoen Huang1†, Fangfang Wang1†, Ratnesh Singh1†, James A. Reinert1, M. C. Engelke1, Anthony D. Genovesi1, Ambika Chandra1,2 and Qingyi Yu1,3* Abstract Background: Zoysia matrella, widely used in lawns and sports fields, is of great economic and ecological value. Z. matrella is an allotetraploid species (2n =4x = 40) in the genus zoysia under the subfamily Chloridoideae. Despite its ecological impacts and economic importance, the subfamily Chloridoideae has received little attention in genomics studies. As a result, limited genetic and genomic information are available for this subfamily, which have impeded progress in understanding evolutionary history of grasses in this important lineage. The lack of a high-resolution genetic map has hampered efforts to improve zoysiagrass using molecular genetic tools. Results: We used restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RADSeq) approach and a segregating population developed from the cross between Z. matrella cultivars ‘Diamond’ and ‘Cavalier’ to construct high-resolution genetic maps of Z. matrella. The genetic map of Diamond consists of 2,375 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers mapped on 20 linkage groups (LGs) with a total length of 1754.48 cM and an average distance between adjacent markers at 0.74 cM. The genetic map of Cavalier contains 3,563 SNP markers on 20 LGs, covering 1824. 92 cM, with an average distance between adjacent markers at 0.51 cM.
  • Grass Genera in Townsville

    Grass Genera in Townsville

    Grass Genera in Townsville Nanette B. Hooker Photographs by Chris Gardiner SCHOOL OF MARINE and TROPICAL BIOLOGY JAMES COOK UNIVERSITY TOWNSVILLE QUEENSLAND James Cook University 2012 GRASSES OF THE TOWNSVILLE AREA Welcome to the grasses of the Townsville area. The genera covered in this treatment are those found in the lowland areas around Townsville as far north as Bluewater, south to Alligator Creek and west to the base of Hervey’s Range. Most of these genera will also be found in neighbouring areas although some genera not included may occur in specific habitats. The aim of this book is to provide a description of the grass genera as well as a list of species. The grasses belong to a very widespread and large family called the Poaceae. The original family name Gramineae is used in some publications, in Australia the preferred family name is Poaceae. It is one of the largest flowering plant families of the world, comprising more than 700 genera, and more than 10,000 species. In Australia there are over 1300 species including non-native grasses. In the Townsville area there are more than 220 grass species. The grasses have highly modified flowers arranged in a variety of ways. Because they are highly modified and specialized, there are also many new terms used to describe the various features. Hence there is a lot of terminology that chiefly applies to grasses, but some terms are used also in the sedge family. The basic unit of the grass inflorescence (The flowering part) is the spikelet. The spikelet consists of 1-2 basal glumes (bracts at the base) that subtend 1-many florets or flowers.

    Rare Or Threatened Vascular Plant Species of Wollemi National Park, Central Eastern New South Wales

    Rare or threatened vascular plant species of Wollemi National Park, central eastern New South Wales. Stephen A.J. Bell Eastcoast Flora Survey PO Box 216 Kotara Fair, NSW 2289, AUSTRALIA Abstract: Wollemi National Park (c. 32o 20’– 33o 30’S, 150o– 151oE), approximately 100 km north-west of Sydney, conserves over 500 000 ha of the Triassic sandstone environments of the Central Coast and Tablelands of New South Wales, and occupies approximately 25% of the Sydney Basin biogeographical region. 94 taxa of conservation signiicance have been recorded and Wollemi is recognised as an important reservoir of rare and uncommon plant taxa, conserving more than 20% of all listed threatened species for the Central Coast, Central Tablelands and Central Western Slopes botanical divisions. For a land area occupying only 0.05% of these divisions, Wollemi is of paramount importance in regional conservation. Surveys within Wollemi National Park over the last decade have recorded several new populations of signiicant vascular plant species, including some sizeable range extensions. This paper summarises the current status of all rare or threatened taxa, describes habitat and associated species for many of these and proposes IUCN (2001) codes for all, as well as suggesting revisions to current conservation risk codes for some species. For Wollemi National Park 37 species are currently listed as Endangered (15 species) or Vulnerable (22 species) under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. An additional 50 species are currently listed as nationally rare under the Briggs and Leigh (1996) classiication, or have been suggested as such by various workers. Seven species are awaiting further taxonomic investigation, including Eucalyptus sp.

    AJCS 5(6):620-629 (2011) ISSN:1835-2707 Effect of salinity stress on nutrient uptake and chlorophyll content of tropical turfgrass species Md. Kamal Uddin1*, Abdul Shukor Juraimi1, Mohd. Razi Ismail1, Md. Alamgir Hossain1, Radziah Othman2 and Anuar Abdul Rahim2 1Department of Crop Science, Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia 2Department of Land Management, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Seawater of different salinity levels (0, 24, 48, and 72 dSm-1) were applied to 16 turfgrass species that grown in plastic pots filled with a mixture of sand and peat (9:1v/v). Chlorophyll concentration decreased significantly with increasing salinity. P. vaginatum and Z. japonica maintained greater amount of total chlorophyll than the others turfgrass species under salt stress. Increasing salinity also decreased K, Ca, Mg content and K/Na ratio but increased Na content in the shoot tissue. The K, Ca, Mg content reduction was the lowest in the species of Paspalum vaginatum, Zoysia japonica and Zoysia matrella while the highest K reduction was in the species of Digitaria didactyla at all salinity levels followed by Axonopus affinis, Cynodon dactylon ‘tifdwarf’, Cynodon dactylon ‘greenlesspark’ and Axonopus compressus (pearl blue). Other species were the intermediate. The overall, shoot K/Na ratio was the highest in Paspalum vaginatum followed by Zoysia japonica, whilst the lowest K/Na ratio was in Axonopus compressus (pearl blue) followed by C. dactylon ‘greenless park’. The results revealed that K, Ca and Mg ions uptake and their distribution to shoot tissues under salinity stress may be relevant issues for salt (Na+) exclusion studies and for plant nutrition as well.

For example, coarse-textured zoysias have typically been thought of as Z. japonicas while SHINES LIGHT INTO fine-textured zoysias were consideredZ. matrellas or Z. pacificas. As a result, some zoysiagrass cultivars have been misclassified with many intermediate types ZOYSIA’S FAMILY TREE simply being called japonicas or matrellas.
