Increased knowledge of their genomes can speed up the development of new cultivars with better quality and greater resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. The most widely grown grasses are tetraploid ryegrass species (Lolium) and diploid and hexaploid fescue species (Festuca). In this work, we characterized repetitive DNA sequences and their contribution to genome size in five fescue and two ryegrass species as well as one fescue and two ryegrass cultivars. Results: Partial genome sequences produced by Illumina sequencing technology were used for genome-wide comparative analyses with the RepeatExplorer pipeline. Retrotransposons were the most abundant repeat type in all seven grass species. The Athila element of the Ty3/gypsy family showed the most striking differences in copy number between fescues and ryegrasses. The sequence data enabled the assembly of the long terminal repeat (LTR) element Fesreba, which is highly enriched in centromeric and (peri)centromeric regions in all species. A combination of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with a probe specific to the Fesreba element and immunostaining with centromeric histone H3 (CENH3) antibody showed their co-localization and indicated a possible role of Fesreba in centromere function. -

The national park was F E R N S established in 1968. In 1994, a cooperative agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation added Del Norte Coast, Prairie Creek, Athyriaceae – Lady Fern Family and Jedediah Smith Redwoods state parks to form a single administrative Athyrium filix-femina var. cyclosporum • northwestern lady fern unit. Together they comprise about 133,000 acres (540 km2), including 37 miles of coast line. Almost half of the remaining old growth redwood forests Blechnaceae – Deer Fern Family are protected in these four parks. -

Plastome Sequence Determination and Comparative Analysis for Members of the Lolium-Festuca Grass Species Complex
G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics Early Online, published on March 11, 2013 as doi:10.1534/g3.112.005264 Plastome sequence determination and comparative analysis for members of the Lolium-Festuca grass species complex Melanie L.

The present study used a second-generation sequencing approach to determine and assemble the plastid genomes (plastomes) of four representatives from the agriculturally important Lolium-Festuca species complex of pasture grasses (Lolium multiflorum, Festuca pratensis, Festuca altissima and Festuca ovina). Total cellular DNA was extracted from either roots or leaves, was sequenced, and the output was filtered for plastome-related reads. A comparison between sources revealed fewer plastome-related reads from root-derived template, but an increase in incidental bacterium-derived sequences. Plastome assembly and annotation indicated high levels of sequence identity and a conserved organisation and gene content between species. -
Writing the Poaceae Treatment for the Flora of Oregon Global Plants Initiative

We herbaria working to create a coordinated global database have completed the grass treatment for the Oregon Flora of information and images of plant specimens. With Project! support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the OSU Mystified that our work has taken more than a year, Herbarium has obtained a custom HerbScan machine and friends suggested that writing the grass treatment must be the resources to scan the 2,000-plus type specimens in the easy now that the Flora of North America (FNA) grass herbarium. volumes have been published. We would reply that writing Type specimens are very important to plant taxonomists the Oregon grass treatment has not meant simply stripping as the type is the physical representative and ultimate all the non-Oregon grasses from the FNA treatment. reference for every described species (or subspecific taxon). What did we actually do? Once described, type specimens will always represent First, we sought to write a simple key to Oregon’s grass that taxon unless lost or destroyed. Because they are so genera. Early leads of the FNA key are intimidating, and important, types are given special status in herbaria, along grass keys from the Jepson Manual (JM) and Vascular with extra protections to keep them safe. -

We depended on 80 qualitative and quantitative morphological characters with 172 character states. The genetic polymorphism and gene diversity was assessed using five polymorphic inter simple sequence repeat primers. Based on Morphological observations, the studied species were separated into two groups, the first combines L. perenne, L. multiflorum and L. rigidum, where, L. perenne is more associated to L. multiflorum than to L. rigidum; the second combines L. temulentum and L. persicum; to some extent geographical distribution influenced the relationships among the populations. High degree of gene diversity with polymorphism percentage of 95.62% was detected among the studied species. Genetically, high degrees of genetic distance are observed among the studied populations; the geographical distribution has a great influence on the population’s relationships. -

Crinkle-Awn Fescue), a Region 1 Sensitive Species, on the Nez Perce and Clearwater National Forests
FIELD INVESTIGATION OF FESTUCA SUBULIFLORA (CRINKLE-AWN FESCUE), A REGION 1 SENSITIVE SPECIES, ON THE NEZ PERCE AND CLEARWATER NATIONAL FORESTS by Christine C. Lorain Natural Heritage Section Nongame/Endangered Wildlife Program Bureau of Wildlife November 1989 Idaho Department of Fish and Game 600 South Walnut, P.O. Box 25 Boise, Idaho 83707 Jerry M. Conley, Director Cooperative Challenge Cost Share Project Nez Perce National Forest Idaho Department of Fish and Game ABSTRACT A field investigation of Festuca subuliflora (crinkle-awn fescue) was conducted on the Nez Perce National Forest by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game's Natural Heritage Program. The investigation was a cooperative Challenge Cost-share project between the Department and the Nez Perce National Forest. Crinkle-awn fescue, a Region 1 Sensitive Species, is a Pacific coastal disjunct in northern Idaho. Principal populations of this species occur west of the Cascade Mountains, mostly near the coast. The only populations east of the Cascade crest are in the moist, low-elevation canyons of the Selway and North Fork Clearwater Rivers and the Elk Creek Falls vicinity of northern Idaho. Data gathered during the 1989 field season reveals that crinkle-awn fescue is scattered within suitable habitats in the western redcedar zone. A total of 23 new populations at 21 sites are documented, with the majority of these supporting less than 100 individuals. The only previously known Idaho site was relocated and permanent monitoring plots were established at this site. All but one of the Idaho populations are located on lands administered by the Nez Perce or Clearwater National Forests.Several recommendations are made relative to the long-term viability and conservation of crinkle-awn fescue on these forest lands. -
Maritime Alps 2007
The Maritime Alps Wildlife at Leisure A Greentours Tour Report 4th to 12th July 2018 Led by Paul Cardy Daily Accounts and Systematic Lists written by Paul Cardy The third of the Greentours summer Alpine trilogy, following on from the Dolomites and the Central Italian Alps, was an excellent week in the western Alps, on both the French and Italian sides of the glorious Maritime Alps. Even after eighteen years of leading tours here, and living just to the north in Italy, the area still holds some surprises. The wealth of flowers was a daily feature, and among many plant highlights were Allium narcissiflorum, Saxifraga cochlearis, and Saxifraga callosa all in fine flower, the latter locally abundant cascading from cliffs and walls. Notable were the beautiful endemic Viola valderia, many of the local speciality Nigritella corneliana, Primula latifolia, Gentiana rostanii, Phyteuma globulariifolium, and the endemic Knautia mollis. It was also a very good season for butterflies, stand outs including Clouded Apollo, White-letter Hairstreak, Large Blue, Ripart’s Anomalous Blue, Duke of Burgundy, Southern White Admiral, Large Tortoiseshell, Twin-spot Fritillary, Lesser-spotted Fritillary (rare here), Grison’s Fritillary, False Mnestra Ringlet, and Lulworth Skipper. Our hotel for the week was situated in the hamlet of Casterino, on the eastern boundary of the Mercantour National Park. The fine location allowed easy access to a great variety of habitats, the length of the Roya valley, lower Mediterranean influenced sites, the Val de Merveilles, and the Italian Alpi Maritime, a superbly productive area. We enjoyed superb dinners in the hotel’s excellent restaurant, complete with log fire and paintings of such subjects as Ibex standing among Saxifraga florulenta! Although we were in France, the area has a distinct Italian feel.
