A total of 81 Received: 03 July 2018 species under 46 genera and 2 subfamilies of the family Poaceae were collected and identified; their uses Accepted: 19 November 2018 in various ailments were also recorded. Out of the three subfamilies, no weed from the subfamily Published: 31 December 2018 Bambusoideae was found. Among the genera, Digitaria, Eragrostis, Brachiaria, Panicum, Echinochloa and Sporobolus were most dominant in context to number of species with a total of 29 species.

Control Agent for Echinochloa Spp. (Pelbagai Perumah Untuk Exserohilum Monoceras 1125, Agen Kawalan Biologi Yang Berpotensi Untuk Kawalan Echinochloa Spp.)

Tosiah*, J. Kadir**, M. Sariah**, A.S. Juraimi**, N.P. Lo* and S. Soetikno*** Keywords: Exserohilum monoceras, host range, Echinochloa spp., bioherbicide Abstract A total of 54 plant species, including varieties and breeding lines from 14 families and 33 genera were screened against Exserohilum monoceras, a fungal pathogen with potential as biocontrol agent for barnyard grass, Echinochloa crus-galli. The selected plant species were treated with spore suspensions at about 2.5 x 107 spores/ml concentration in glasshouse conditions supplemented with 24 h dew. The ability of the fungus to infect the plants was evaluated by disease incidence and disease severity which translated into disease index (DI). The disease index of Echinochloa crus-galli var. crus-galli, E. crus-galli var. formosensis and E. stagnina were 4 (dead) while those for E. colona and E. oryzicola were 3 (severely damage). Among the economic plants tested, only Zea mays was infected with a disease index of 2 (tolerant). Young Imperata cylindrica was dead (DI = 4), however the older plant showed hypersensitive reaction (DI = 2). Other plants that were infected were Cymbopogon sp. (DI = 1), Paspalum sp. (DI = 3) and Rhynchelytrum repen (DI = 3). Exserohilum monoceras did not infect selected varieties of rice in Malaysia, such as MRQ 50, MRQ 74, MR 219, MR 220 and MR 84. Vegetables and medicinal plants used in the test were also not infected. -

Maximum Flood Depth Characterizes Above-Ground Biomass In
Journal of Tropical Ecology (2007) 23:63–72. Copyright © 2007 Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/S026646740600366X Printed in the United Kingdom Maximum flood depth characterizes above-ground biomass in African seasonally shallowly flooded grasslands Paul Scholte1 Institute of Environmental Sciences Leiden University, c.o. Nieuwe Teertuinen 12C, 1013 LV, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (Accepted 25 August 2006) Abstract: Flood depth has been frequently used to explain the distribution of plant species in seasonally flooded grasslands, but its relation with vegetation production has remained ambiguous. The relationship between flooding and above-ground biomass at the end of the flooding season and during the dry season was studied to assess the impact of reflooding on the Logone floodplain, Cameroon. Above-ground biomass of a combination of all species and of the individual perennial grasses Oryza longistaminata and Echinochloa pyramidalis showed a positive linear relationship with maximum flood depth up to 1 m. The gradient of these relationships became steeper and their fit better during the 2 y following the installation of the flooding, showing the response lag to floodplain rehabilitation. Flood duration only explained the above-ground biomass of the combination of all species and not of the individual species. Above-ground biomass data from other floodplains in the three main African geographic regions showed a similar relationship with maximum flood depth less than 1 m. Dry-season regrowth, important because of its high nutrient quality during forage scarcity, was not directly related to maximum flood depth, possibly because of its dependency on the period of burning and soil moisture. Presented data indicate that a rise of water level of 1 cm corresponds to an increase in above-ground biomass of c. -

First of all, Guillaume Besnard was a great supervisor, always available for feedback, with this intuition for the curious details, and we spent hours in the afternoon heat of Madagascar sterilising grass leaves. Maria Vorontsova was involved in all parts of this dissertation. Pilar Catalán gave me the opportunity to participate in her and Miguel Minaya's work on Loliinae. Colleagues at EDB made these three years a great time scientifically and personally. Sophie Manzi and Amaia Iribar-Pelozuelo helped me with lab work issues. Hervé Gryta was member of my PhD committee and had useful suggestions on several occasions. Lucie Zinger discussed metabarcoding and helped finding those little errors in my scripts. Patricia Jargeat provided fungal isolates. Christophe Thébaud lent me useful books on Madagascar. Antoine Fouquet critically read an article manuscript. The lab administration and the doctoral school made everything run smoothly. My office colleagues, fellow PhD students, and all those who went running, swimming or hiking with me helped me stay balanced and have a good time. Alexandre Meunier was a fast-learning MSc intern. -

While tetraploidization is arguably the most common and stable outcome of polyploidization, over evolutionary time triploids often constitute only a transient phase, or a “triploid bridge”, between diploid and tetraploid levels. In this study, we reconstructed in a robust phylogenomic and statistical framework the evolutionary history of polyploidization in Arundo, a small genus from the Poaceae family with promising biomass, bioenergy and phytoremediation species. -
