Physiological and Proteomic Analyses of Mutant Reveal Key Players in Centipedegrass Tiller Development.

Tillering directly determines the seed production and propagation capacity of clonal plants. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in the tiller development of clonal plants are still not fully understood. In this study, we conducted a proteome comparison between the tiller buds and stem node of a multiple-tiller mutant () and a wild type of centipedegrass.

Evaluation of zinc tolerance and accumulation in eight cultivars of bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.): implications for zinc phytoremediation.

Zinc (Zn) is a vital element for plant growth and development, however, excessive Zn is toxic to plants. Common bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.

Proteome-wide analyses reveal diverse functions of protein acetylation and succinylation modifications in fast growing stolons of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.).

Background: Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) is an important warm-season turfgrass species with well-developed stolons, which lay the foundation for the fast propagation of bermudagrass plants through asexual clonal growth. However, the growth and development of bermudagrass stolons are still poorly understood at the molecular level.
