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.

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.
