(Poaceae) in male wistar albino rats M. Sathya and R. Kokilavani Department of Biochemistry, Kongunadu Arts and Science College, Coimbatore-29 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The present investigation was intended to evaluate the toxicity of the ethanolic root extract of a traditionally used plant Saccharum spontaneum Linn. The acute toxicity studies was done on male wistar albino rats which showed no clinical signs, no mortality of the rats even under higher dosages levels (50, 150, 300, 500, 1000, 2000mg/kg b.wt) indicating the high margin of safety of the plant extract. The sub acute toxicity study was done to find out the effective dosage of the plant in rats. The varying doses(100,200,300,400, and 500mg/kg b.wt) of the plant extract were administered orally to different groups of male wistar strain of albino rats on daily basis and sacrificed after 28 days of administration. The administration of plant extract produced no significant change in organ weight and hamaetological parameters like hemoglobin, RBC, Hb, WBC, MCV, MCH, MCHC, PCV, platelet, neutrophil and lymphocyte. The record of biochemical parameters like ACP, ALP, AST, ALT, LDH, and NAG in treatment groups of rats were non significant in comparison with control group of rats. The parameters remained within the normal range. Physical, hematological parameters as well as biochemical were unaltered throughout the study.
A Review of Recent Molecular Genetics Evidence for Sugarcane Evolution and Domestication

A Review of Recent Molecular Genetics Evidence for Sugarcane Evolution and Domestication Laurent Grivet, C. Daniels, J.C. Glaszmann, and A. D’Hont Abstract In 1987, J. Daniels and B. T. Roach published an living wild and cultivated sugarcane plants and from exhaustive multidisciplinary review of evidence permitting written history and linguistic evidence for relatively recent the domestication and the early evolution of sugarcane events. In 1987, J. Daniels and B. T. Roach published to be traced. We try here to synthesize the new data a comprehensive review of hypotheses and arguments that have been produced since, and their contribution to regarding sugarcane evolution and domestication, based the understanding of the global picture. It is now highly on the available botanical, genetic and historical evidence. probable that sugarcane evolved from a specific lineage Since then, new data, particularly in the field of molecular restricted to current genus Saccharum and independent genetics, have made it possible to reconsider evolution from lineages that conducted to genera Miscanthus and and domestication of sugarcane. Erianthus. The scenario established by E. W. Brandes in 1958 is very likely the right one: Noble cultivars (ie. State of the Art Saccharum officinarum) arose from S. robustum in New Guinea. Humans then spread these cultigens over large Relevant germplasm distances. In mainland Asia, natural hybridization with S. spontaneum occurred, and gave rise to the North Indian (S. From a practical point of view, sugarcane genetic barberi) and Chinese (S. sinense) cultivars. Relationships resources can be divided into three groups: (1) traditional between S. spontaneum and S. robustum in situations of cultivars, (2) wild relatives, and (3) modern cultivars.

NeoBiota 20: 61–79. doi: 10.3897/neobiota.20.6163 Abstract Saccharum spontaneum L. is an invasive grass that has spread extensively in disturbed areas throughout the Panama Canal watershed (PCW), where it has created a #re hazard and inhibited reforestation e$orts. Currently physical removal of aboveground biomass is the primary means of controlling this weed, which is largely ine$ective and does little to inhibit spread of the species. Little is known about reproduction of this species, although it is both rhizomatous and produces abundant seed. Here we report a series of studies looking at some of the basic reproductive mechanisms and strategies utilised by S. spontaneum to provide information to support development of better targeted management strategies.

Characterization of Chromosome Composition of Sugarcane in Nobilization by Using Genomic in Situ Hybridization

Yu et al. Molecular Cytogenetics (2018) 11:35 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13039-018-0387-z RESEARCH Open Access Characterization of chromosome composition of sugarcane in nobilization by using genomic in situ hybridization Fan Yu1, Ping Wang1, Xueting Li1, Yongji Huang1, Qinnan Wang2, Ling Luo1, Yanfen Jing3, Xinlong Liu3, Zuhu Deng1,4*, Jiayun Wu2, Yongqing Yang1, Rukai Chen1, Muqing Zhang4 and Liangnian Xu1* Abstract Background: Interspecific hybridization is an effective strategy for germplasm innovation in sugarcane. Nobilization refers to the breeding theory of development and utilization of wild germplasm. Saccharum spontaneum is the main donor of resistance and adaptive genes in the nobilization breeding process. Chromosome transfer in sugarcane is complicated; thus, research of different inheritance patterns can provide guidance for optimal sugarcane breeding. Results: Through chromosome counting and genomic in situ hybridization, we found that six clones with 80 chromosomes were typical S. officinarum and four other clones with more than 80 chromosomes were interspecific hybrids between S. officinarum and S. spontaneum. These data support the classical view that S. officinarum is characterized by 2n = 80. In addition, genomic in situ hybridization showed that five F1 clones were products of a 2n + n transmission and one F1 clone was the product of an n + n transmission in clear pedigree noble hybrids between S. officinarum and S. spontaneum. Interestingly, Yacheng 75–408 and Yacheng 75–409 were the sibling lines of the F1 progeny from the same parents but with different genetic transmissions. Conclusions: This is the first clear evidence of Loethers, Crystallina, Luohanzhe, Vietnam Niuzhe, and Nanjian Guozhe were typical S.

It has been present in Colombia for over five hundred years, and it is now one of the most important industries for the economy in Valle del Cauca. This monograph is a detailed research about this crop, and it will address its ecology, biology, propagation and management, and emerging products and market. Ecology discusses matters such as its distributional contex, affinities, origin, ideal elevation and climate, geology and soils, and its vegetation components. The biology talks about the crop’s chromosome complement, its life cycle, the process of flowering and fruiting, and reproduction.
Evolution and Expression of the Fructokinase Gene Family in Saccharum

Chen et al. BMC Genomics (2017) 18:197 DOI 10.1186/s12864-017-3535-7 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Evolution and expression of the fructokinase gene family in Saccharum Yihong Chen1,2, Qing Zhang1, Weichang Hu1, Xingtan Zhang1,3, Liming Wang1, Xiuting Hua1,2, Qingyi Yu1,4, Ray Ming1,5 and Jisen Zhang1,2,3* Abstract Background: Sugarcane is an important sugar crop contributing up to about 80% of the world sugar production. Efforts to characterize the genes involved in sugar metabolism at the molecular level are growing since increasing sugar content is a major goal in the breeding of new sugarcane varieties. Fructokinases (FRK) are the main fructose phosphorylating enzymes with high substrate specificity and affinity. Results: In this study, by combining comparative genomics approaches with BAC resources, seven fructokinase genes were identified in S. spontaneum. Phylogenetic analysis based on representative monocotyledon and dicotyledon plant species suggested that the FRK gene family is ancient and its evolutionary history can be traced in duplicated descending order: SsFRK4, SsFRK6/SsFRK7,SsFRK5, SsFRK3 and SsFRK1/SsFRK2. Among the close orthologs, the number and position of exons in FRKs were conserved; in contrast, the size of introns varied among the paralogous FRKs in Saccharum. Genomic constraints were analyzed within the gene alleles and between S. spontaneum and Sorghum bicolor, and gene expression analysis was performed under drought stress and with exogenous applications of plant hormones. FRK1, which was under strong functional constraint selection, was conserved among the gene allelic haplotypes, and displayed dominant expression levels among the gene families in the control conditions, suggesting that FRK1 plays a major role in the phosphorylation of fructose.

A Few Common Native Grasses of North Carolinaa Nancy Adamson ([email protected] , [email protected]) & Gary Kauffman ([email protected])

A Few Common Native Grasses of North Carolinaa Nancy Adamson ([email protected] , [email protected]) & Gary Kauffman ([email protected]) Grasses are vital components of natural communities. They provide habitat for a huge diversity of insects, spiders, and other wildlife. Many are host plants for butterflies & grass skippers, their pollen and/or foliage is eaten by many other insects. They are key for natural fires (helping to carry fire quickly and replenish nutrients). When searching for specific host needs, often non-native grasses are listed for our native butterflies; if you observe caterpillars on native grasses, please document: post to iNaturalist, share with me or CarolinaLeps https://lists.duke.edu/sympa/arc/carolinaleps. These notes are for gardeners trying to include more native grasses in home and community landscapes (first draft--comments/suggestions welcome). names soilb ht.

To determine whether loci on cytoplasmic genomes (two chloroplast and two mit- limited intra-complex variability was caused by under sam- ochondrial) and analyzed mitochondrial RFLPs generated pling of taxa, we used seven restriction enzymes to digest using probes for COXI, COXII, COXIII, Cob, 18S+5S, the PCR-amplified rbcL-atpB spacer of an additional 36 26S, ATPase 6, ATPase 9, and ATPase ~ (D'Hont et al. accessions within the Saccharum complex. This analysis 1993). Approximately 650 bp of DNA in the intergenic revealed ten restriction sites (none informative) and eight spacer region between rbcL and atpB and approximately length variants (four informative). The small amount of 150 bp from the chloroplast 16S rDNA through the inter- variation present in the organellar DNAs of this polyptoid genic spacer region tRNA val gene were sequenced. In the complex suggests that either the complex is very young or mitochondrial genome, part of the 18S rRNA gene and ap- that rates of evolution between the Saccharum complex proximately 150 bp from the 18S gene 3' end, through an and outgroup taxa are different.

Received: 7 July 2019; Accepted: 2 August 2019; Published: 5 August 2019 Abstract: Polyploid Saccharum with complex genomes hindered the progress of sugarcane improvement, while their chloroplast genomes are much smaller and simpler. Chloroplast (cp), the vital organelle, is the site of plant photosynthesis, which also evolves other functions, such as tolerance to environmental stresses. In this study, the cp genome of two sugarcane ancestors Saccharum officinarum and S. spontaneum were sequenced, and genome comparative analysis between these two species was carried out, together with the photosynthetic ability. The length is 141,187 bp for S. officinarum and that is 7 bp longer than S. spontaneum, with the same GC content (38.44%) and annotated gene number (134), 13 with introns among them. There is a typical tetrad structure, including LSC, SSC, IRb and IRa. Of them, LSC and IRa/IRb are 18 bp longer and 6 bp shorter than those in S. spontaneum (83,047 bp and 22,795 bp), respectively, while the size of SSC is same (12,544 bp).
