Chromosome pairing and its relationship to fertility in cytotypes of prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata Link)
Prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata Link) is a polyploid, perennial, C4 grass that is native to North America. The species is able to produce large amounts of biomass, and it is tolerant to a number of environmental stresses. Due to these characteristics, it is useful for purposes such as …

Exploiting the Productivity of C4 Photosynthesis in Cool Temperate Climates: Mechanisms and Thresholds of Cold Tolerance in Miscanthus, Saccharum, and Spartina pectinata
… reports of winterkill in some cold climates. Spartina pectinata is a C4 perennial grass native to North America with a distribution up to 61°N latitude. The purpose of this thesis is to compare cold tolerance thresholds across these C4 perennial grasses and test hypotheses about the underlying …

Prairie cordgrass as cellulosic ethanol feedstock and chemical hydrolysis with disk milling for pretreatment
… eleven natural populations of prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata L.) harvested in 2011 and 2012 were evaluated as a bioethanol feedstock. After dilute acid pretreatment and simultaneous saccharification and cofermentation (SScF), ethanol yields from prairie cordgrass reached 205 to 276 g/kg …

Perennial grasses as sustainable bioenergy crops for marginal lands
… four natural populations of prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata Link.) were investigated in wet marginal land. A three-year study from 2011 to 2013 investigated the biomass yield and tissue lignocellulosic composition among the compared species in 45 cm and 90 cm row spacing treatments. …

Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense [L.] Scop.) response to mowing, herbicide, competitive grasses, and soil amendments on wetland, upland, and mesic sites
… wheatgrass (upland sites) or prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata Bosc ex Link) (wetland sites) alone or in combination with Regreen (upland and wetland sites). Six sites (three wetland, three upland) were paired geographically across Colorado with each wetland site in close proximity to an …

A novel system to study seed recalcitrance and dormancy - comparative proteomics between two Spartina species
Spartina alterniflora is a dominant salt marsh cordgrass along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts, and the species is widely used for wetland restoration in Louisiana. S. alterniflora seeds are shed dormant from the mother plant. However, long-term preservation of S. alterniflora seeds is …

Understanding the physiological and molecular basis of chilling tolerance across species of the C4 genera Miscanthus and Spartina
… regions. C4 species of the genera Miscanthus and Spartina have successfully colonized cool temperate and cold climatic regions, with Spartina having the most northerly distribution of any known C4 genus. Within these genera, Miscanthus × giganteus, Miscanthus sinensis and Spartina pectinata have …
