Differences in Physicochemical Properties of Stems in Oat ( L.) Varieties with Distinct Lodging Resistance and Their Regulation of Lodging at Different Planting Densities.

Planting density is an effective strategy for regulating both lodging and forage quality. To delve into the regulatory mechanisms of planting density on lodging and forage quality, lodging-resistant variety LENA and lodging-sensitive variety QY2 were grown in 2018 and 2019 growing seasons, and four planting densities were implemented: 2.25 × 10 plants/ha (D1), 4.

Adequate water supply enhances seedling growth and metabolism in Festuca kryloviana: insights from physiological and transcriptomic analys.

Background: Festuca kryloviana is a significant native grass species in the Qinghai Lake region, and its low emergence rate is a primary factor limiting the successful establishment of cultivated grasslands. The region's arid and low-rainfall climate characteristics result in reduced soil moisture content at the surface. Despite the recognized impact of water availability on plant growth, the specific role of moisture in seedling development remains not fully elucidated.

The impact of mixed planting of Poaceae species in the Qinghai-Tibet plateau region on forage yield, soil nutrients, and soil microbial communities.

Establishing cultivated grassland in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region is an effective method to address the conflict between vegetation and livestock. However, the high altitude, low temperature, and arid climate in the region result in slow regeneration and susceptibility to degradation of mixed cultivation grassland containing perennial legumes and gramineous plants. Therefore, we aim to through field experiments, explore the feasibility of establishing mixed cultivation grassland of species in the region by utilizing two grass species, L.

Variation and interrelationships in the growth, yield, and lodging of oat under different planting densities.

Background: Oat is a dual-purpose cereal used for grain and forage. The demand of oat has been increasing as the understanding of the nutritional, ecological, and economic values of oat increased. However, the frequent lodging during the growing period severely affect the high yielding potential and the quality of the grain and forage of oat.

Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of the Oat ( L.) WRKY Transcription Factor Family.

The WRKY family is widely involved in the regulation of plant growth and stress response and is one of the largest gene families related to plant environmental adaptation. However, no systematic studies on the WRKY family in oat ( L.) have been conducted to date.

5-Aminolevulinic acid modulates antioxidant defense systems and mitigates drought-induced damage in Kentucky bluegrass seedlings.

Drought stress occurs frequently and severely as a result of global climate change, and it exerts serious effects on plants. 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) plays a crucial role in conferring abiotic stress tolerance in plants. To enhance the drought tolerance of turfgrass and investigate the effects of 5-ALA on antioxidant metabolism and gene expression under drought stress conditions, exogenous 5-ALA was applied by foliar spraying before Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.
