The recent reemergence of rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV) has caused severe rice yield losses in several areas of East Asia. To identify the most important infectious sources of RBSDV, we compared the susceptibility of major poaceous plants to RBSDV infection and survival and the RBSDV acquisition efficiency of a vector insect, the small brown planthopper . RBSDV infection and survival rates of were significantly high in wheat ( 'Norin61') and rice ( 'Reiho'), indicating that these crops can be important sources of RBSDV. Our results also showed that RBSDV can complete its infection cycle between Italian ryegrass ( 'Hataaoba') and . These results indicate that control of RBSDV and on winter-spring crops of wheat and Italian ryegrass may avoid an RBSDV epidemic on rice during the following summer. In addition to infections of wheat and Italian ryegrass, RBSDV infections were detected in , subsp. , , , , , and var. , although the infection efficiency varied.

Identification of genetic loci for seed shattering in Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.).

Theor Appl Genet

December 2024

Division of Feed and Livestock Research, Institute of Livestock and Grassland Science, NARO, 768 Senbonmatsu, Nasushiobara, Tochigi, 329-2793, Japan.

We have identified a unique genetic locus for seed shattering in Italian ryegrass that has an exceedingly large effect and shows partial dominance for reduced seed shattering. Genetic improvement of seed retention in forage grasses can contribute to improving their commercial seed production. The objective of this study was to identify the genetic loci responsible for seed shattering in Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock ruminants, particularly methane (CH), nitrous oxide, and indirectly ammonia (NH) significantly contribute to climate change and global warming. Conventional monoculture swards for cattle feeding, such as perennial ryegrass or Italian ryegrass, usually require substantial fertiliser inputs. Such management elevates soil mineral nitrogen levels, resulting in GHG emissions and potential water contamination.

This study investigated the effects of addition of Italian ryegrass with multi-enzyme on growth performance, fecal odor, and microbiome. The experiment had a two-factor factorial design, using three levels of Italian ryegrass (0%, 2.5%, and 5%) and two levels of multi-enzymes (no enzyme and commercially recommended level) to formulate experimental diets.

First Report of Causing Black Leaf Spot on Italian Ryegrass in China.

Plant Dis

November 2024

Lanzhou University, State Key Laboratory of Herbage Improvement and Grassland Agro-ecosystems; Center for Grassland Microbiome; Engineering Research Center of Grassland Industry, Ministry of Education; Gansu Tech Innovation Center of Western China Grassland Industry; College of Pastoral Agriculture Science and Technology, Lanzhou, Gansu, China;

Article Synopsis
  • Italian ryegrass in Southwest China was affected by a disease causing black leaf spots, observed in December 2023 with less than 1% incidence in a field in Hongya County.
  • Researchers isolated a fungus from infected plants, cultivating samples on potato dextrose agar which produced cottony, whitish colonies and characteristic conidia.
  • Genetic analysis of two fungal strains (LJH17 and LJH18) confirmed their identity through sequencing of specific gene regions, with sequences submitted to GenBank for further reference.

EPSPS gene amplification in a glyphosate-resistant population of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) from Oregon.

Pest Manag Sci

October 2024

Forage Seed and Cereal Research Unit, United States Department of Agriculture, Corvallis, OR, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • - Lolium multiflorum (Italian ryegrass) is found in Oregon as both a weed and a crop, and herbicide-resistant populations have developed due to chemical management practices.
  • - A glyphosate-resistant population identified in Yamhill County shows a nine-fold increase in resistance to glyphosate compared to a susceptible group, with no known amino acid mutations linked to resistance.
  • - The resistance is linked to a significant increase (30-fold) in copies of the EPSPS gene, marking the first instance of this type of genetic amplification in glyphosate-resistant L. multiflorum in Oregon.
