Dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment of transgenic switchgrass for sugar production

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY, 104, 823–827.

By: X. Zhou, J. Xu n, Z. Wang n, J. Cheng n, R. Li n & R. Qu n

author keywords: Acid pretreatment; Genetic engineering; Lignin; Sugars; Switchgrass
MeSH headings : Carbohydrates / chemical synthesis; Cellulase / chemistry; Panicum / chemistry; Panicum / genetics; Plants, Genetically Modified / chemistry; Sulfuric Acids / chemistry
TL;DR: Genetic engineering resulted in a substantial increase in the ratio of acid soluble lignin:acid insoluble lignIn, which led to considerably increased sugar productions in both pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis. (via Semantic Scholar)

Morphological mutants of St. Augustinegrass induced by gamma ray irradiation

PLANT BREEDING, 129(4), 412–416.

By: R. Li n, A. Bruneau n & R. Qu n

author keywords: Gamma ray irradiation; mutagenesis; semi-dwarf; St; Augustinegrass
TL;DR: Mutagenesis by gamma ray irradiation was employed to treat node cuttings and calli for inducing semi-dwarf growth phenotype and altered morphological traits were stable as shown by their growth performance in various locations and conditions. (via Semantic Scholar)

By: R. Li n, R. Qu n, A. Bruneau n & D. Livingston n

author keywords: Stenotaphrum secundatum; freezing tolerance; germplasm; tissue culture
TL;DR: The experiments revealed that germplasm accession Elm4 was significantly more freezing-Tolerant under a controlled environment than ‘Raleigh’, the current commercially available, most freezing-tolerant cultivar. (via Semantic Scholar)

Tissue culture-induced morphological somaclonal variation in St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze]

PLANT BREEDING, 129(1), 96–99.

By: R. Li n, A. Bruneau n & R. Qu n

author keywords: semi-dwarf; somaclonal variation; St. Augustinegrass; tissue culture
TL;DR: A large scale tissue culture experiment was conducted with St. Augustinegrass, an important turfgrass species for the southern USA, to induce somaclonal variation to enlarge the germplasm pool for breeding efforts and altered traits in the variant lines were stable during vegetative propagation and when grown in different environments.

Improved plant regeneration and in vitro somatic embryogenesis of St Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze]

PLANT BREEDING, 125(1), 52–56.

By: R. Li n, A. Bruneau n & R. Qu n

author keywords: Stenotaphrum secundatum; benzyladenine; immature embryo; regeneration; scanning electron microscopy; somatic embryogenesis
TL;DR: Scanning electron microscopy revealed that plant regeneration of St Augustinegrass is via somatic embryogenesis, and the addition of benzyladenine in the callus induction/subculture medium enhances callus regeneration ability and does not harmCallus induction for immature embryos.
