Abstract The significant phytochemical contents made the grasses to be the most successful monocotyledonous plants on earth. The grasses have been a survivor on the planet despite of various ecological changes. They deserve the medicinal value and therefore considered as novel repositories. The taxonomic family of grasses is considered as sacred. It has great significance in ayurveda because of medicinal as well as clinical properties. The Desmostachya bipinnata (L.) (commonly recognized as halfa grass, big cordgrass, and salt reed-grass) and Imperata cylindrica (L.) (commonly recognized as cogon grass, kunai grass, blady grass, alang-alang, lalang grass, cotton wool grass, kura-kura ) are the two grasses that constitute vital ingredient in various Vedic sacrifices (Yagnas) and rituals. -

Ten local varieties and 1 commercial durum wheat variety (Triticum durum L., 2n = 4x = 28; AABB) were used as maternal lines. Imperata cylindrica L. (2n = 2x = 20) ecotypes sampled from different districts of Hatay were used as the pollen source. Isolated embryos were placed in an MS medium for plant regeneration 14 days after the interspecific hybridization. The highest average seed setting, embryo formation, and dihaploid plant regeneration for the different hybrid combinations were determined as 31.1%, 15.5%, and 11.5%, respectively. Cytological observations revealed that all the regenerants had 2n = 2x = 14 chromosomes. Key words: Imperata cylindrica L., interspecific cross, Triticum durum L., polyhaploid 1.

This One of the most important problems of the pasta industry technique was a major breakthrough, but it was genotype- is the difficulty of obtaining high-quality durum wheat. -
Notes from Grasses Workshop
NATIVE GRASSES OF THE MELBOURNE AREA WORKSHOP AT BRIMBANK PARK March 25, 1988 For the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works By Paget and Shim m en Bushland Seeds (14 Seascape Close, FTG 3156. PH:758.5416) INTRODUCTION: Native Grasses covers a wide range of grass species, of wkich there are . species suital~le for a variety of uses, induding erosion control, lawns, parklands, coastal sand dune stabilization, and low fire-hazard plantings. Most grasslands in Victoria are now exotic pastures, co m posed of grasses which have been bred for high l~iomass product5on so they produce Large a mounts of feed for stock, and these grasses are usually winter-growing and die-back severely over sum m er. These sa m e grasses do not necessarily have the rn ost desired characteristics for those orher uses. In lawns, for example, high biomass production means regular mowing, and growing in winter m cans they browning off during summer. Many of our native grasses are not as vigorous and grow over sum mcr, so do not grow so fast as to require constant mowing, and do not brown off over summer. ATTRIBUTES: The above introduction is a broad generalization, and it is important Lo study the charactemcs of each grass species to determine both its suitabtkity for any use, and the manage rn cnt it: requires. The most important attribute to contider is that of the grass's growth period. The table below ouflines the growth periods of the major native grass species: COMMON NAME BOTANICAL NAME GROWS COMMON WHEAT-GRASS A gropyron scabru m Winter COMMON BLOWN GRASS -

Similar species Imperata brasiliensis Summary Native to Asia, cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica) is common in the humid tropics and has spread to the warmer temperate zones worldwide. Cogon grass is considered to be one of the top ten worst weeds in the world. Its extensive rhizome system, adaptation to poor soils, drought tolerance, genetic plasticity and fire adaptability make it a formidable invasive grass. Increases in cogon grass concern ecologists and conservationists because of the fact that this species displaces native plant and animal species and alters fire regimes. view this species on IUCN Red List Species Description Although Imperata cylindrica can have leaf blades of up to 1.5 m tall in conditions of good soil moisture and fertility (Holm et al. 1977, in Daneshgar & Shibu 2009), the majority of its biomass occurs below ground comprising greater than 60% of the total biomass (Sajise 1976, in Daneshgar & Shibu 2009). Cogon grass is stemless erect perennial growing in loose to compact tufts with slender flat linear-lanceolate leaves arising from the rhizomes. The scabrous leaves are 4 to 10 mm wide with prominent white midribs that are slightly off center. The leaves may be 15 to 150 cm tall, depending on habitat, with narrow sharp points (Bryson & Carter 1993; Hubbard et al. -

Imperata Cylindrica: Reproduction, Dispersal, and Controls
CAB Reviews 2020 15, No. 038 Imperata cylindrica: reproduction, dispersal, and controls Muhammad Rusdy* Address: Laboratory of Forage Crops and Grassland Management, Faculty of Animal Sciences, Hasanuddin University, Makassar 90245, Indonesia. ORCID information: Muhammad Rusdy (orcid: 0000-0002-2731-9383) *Correspondence: Muhammad Rusdy. Email: [email protected] Received: 15 May 2019 Accepted: 20 May 2020 doi: 10.1079/PAVSNNR202015038 The electronic version of this article is the definitive one. It is located here: http://www.cabi.org/cabreviews © CAB International 2020 (Online ISSN 1749-8848) Abstract Imperata cylindrica is one of the 10 worst weeds in the tropics and subtropics. Although it has many beneficial uses, the problems related to its invasiveness far outweigh its positive benefits. I. cylindrica negatively affects production of annual, perennial, plantation, and forest crops. Its mode of reproduction fosters its extensive growth and very persistent nature because of its high competitive ability in a wide range of habitats. Control efforts for I. cylindrica consist of prevention, cultural, mechanical, biological, and integrated approach. All control methods are not cost effective and require careful planning to achieve the desired outcome. Currently, good control can be achieved by integrating cultural, mechanical, and chemical methods, but long term of management control must involve sustainable strategies such as biological control and revegetation practices. Keywords: Imperata, reproduction, dispersal, control Review methodology: Recently, published literature in Google Scholar, CAB Abstracts, Scopus, PubMed, Crossref, and Web of Science using the keywords Imperata, distribution, reproduction, dispersal, and management was searched from March 2019 to January 2020. We also used the synonym and antonym of these words for searching other relevant literature. -

While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting througli an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed.
