PCR-based cloning, characterization, and stress-induced expression of chitinase genes in Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.)
… of chitinase genes in Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) were studied. With primers designed from conserved regions of chitinase genes from other plant species, a 710 bp fragment (CH710) containing a partial chitinase gene sequence was amplified from Kentucky bluegrass by PCR. Using …

The effects of rapid establishment and subsequent turf quality of agressive grasses seeded with Poa pratensis L
… with a constant rate of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.). Mixtures were irrigated and clipped to 1- and 2-in. sod residues. Objectives were to determine which mixture or mixtures could provide rapid initial establishment. with subsequent high quality, permanent turf. The improved …

Development, selection and characterization of summer patch (Magnaporthe poae Landschoot and Jackson) resistant somaclones of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) genotypes
… graminis), and summer patch (Magnaporthe poae). Variants highly resistant to powdery mildew and summer patch were selected, and the resistance was expressed through several cycles of vegetative propagation. There was no relationship between resistance to summer patch and that of powdery …

Growth of roots, rhizomes, and tillers of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) cultivars and genotypes as affected by fertility level, cutting height, and season
… cultivars and genotypes of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.). Objectives were to study effects of fertility level and cutting height on underground growth of various Kentucky bluegrasses during various seasons and develop a technique for measuring underground growth without disturbing the …

Effects of nitrogen and cutting management on root growth and productivity of a Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) and white clover (Trifolium repens L.) pasture
Nitrogen (N) and defoliation effects on productivity, root growth and soil nitrate (NO3-) in a Kentucky bluegrass and white clover pasture were examined. Nitrogen was applied annually in two equally split applications at rates of 0, 80 or 160 kg N ha -1. After reaching 12.7 cm, plants were cut to …

THE FEMALE GAMETOPHYTE: DEVELOPMENT AND FUNCTION
… species, but is found in many wild species like Poa pratensis and Brachiaria brizantha. The idea of this work is to study genes involved in apomixis in apomictic plants, and then studies the function in the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. In Poa pratensis by the cDNA-AFLP technique several …

The response of dune vegetation to human trampling and grazing
… that the relative abundance of Festuca rubra and Poa pratensis approaches that in the surrounding untreated vegetation in the third year. Some strategies for species survival are considered.<br/><br/>Periodic trampling and mowing were applied over two seasons to dune grassland both exposed to …

GENETIC NETWORK CONTROLLING FEMALE GAMETOPHYTE AND EMBRYO DEVELOPMENT IN ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA
… in Arabidopsis thaliana of APOSTART1 gene of Poa pratensis. In Poa pratensis, Albertini and co-workers (2005) isolated and characterized APOSTART genes like candidate genes involved in apomixis. Apomixis is an asexual way of reproduction and avoids both meiotic reduction and egg fertilization.

Soil and plant factors associated with iron chlorosis of Kentucky bluegrass
… 25 varieties and 5 blends of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) were utilized. Maintenance practices for all varieties were the same, and at the time of sampling the grasses were three years old, were well established, and had not been treated with iron containing materials. Soil pH, soil …

Influence of seed and foliar applications of growth regulators on turfgrasses
… on the germination of Kentucky bluegrass (<i>Poa pratensis L.</i>) under osmotic and temperature stresses were determined in the laboratory. As polyethylene glycol (PEG) 8000 concentrations was increased from 50 to 250 g/L, percent germination was reduced. Propiconazole at 0, 0.5, 0.9, and 1.9 …

Changes in Wetland Conditions and Wetland Plant Communities in the Prairie Pothole Region After 50 Years
… species (e.g., Typha, Phalaris arundinacea, Poa pratensis, and Bromus inermis). Wetlands at the three study areas responded to the excess water from the deluge in unique ways. Wetlands at Crystal Springs were larger, deeper, and fresher in 2013-14 compared to the 1960s. Wetlands at Cottonwood …

Plant Community Development of Isle Royale's Moose-Spruce Savannas
… plant communities. <em>Picea glauca</em> and <em>Poa pratensis </em>competed in a dynamic inhibitory relationship. The former facilitated forest plants while the latter out-competed other plants and promoted open swards. These interactions are dramatically changing the character of Isle Royale’s …

Developing Techniques to Quantify Phenological Development of Smooth Brome (Bromus inermis Leyss.): Sampling Variability
… (Bromus inermis Leyss.) and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is a critical issue for land managers in the Northern Great Plains. Recent surveys of US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) grasslands revealed fragments of native prairie and widespread invasion of two exotic cool-season grasses, …
