Comparative Performance of Three Tropical Turfgrasses Digitaria longiflora, Axonopus compressus and St. Augustinegrass under Simulated Shade Conditions

Transcriptomic Analysis of Dark-Induced Senescence in Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon)

“…1 The Min length means the minimum length of transcripts or unigenes. 2 The Max length means the maximum length of transcripts and unigenes 3 The N50 value is defined as the contig length where half of the assembly is represented by contigs of this size or longer. 4 The N90 value is defined as the contig length where 90% of the assembly is represented by contigs of this size or longer.…”

“…However, light deprivation caused by the forests exerts many negative effects on the turfgrass. When turfgrass is exposed to light-deficiency conditions, a series of morphological changes happen, including an increase in shoot elongation, leaf length, and leaf area [1][2][3]. Leaf senescence will be induced by prolonged and severe light deficiency.…”

“…), 107 of which were up-regulated, including ASPARAGINE-LINKED GLYCOSYLATION1,2,3,4,6,7,9,11,13,14 (ALG1,2,3,5,6,7,9,11,13,14),DOLICHOL-PHOSPHATE MANNOSYLTRANSFERASE 1,2,3 (DPM1,2,3), STAUROSPORIN AND TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE (STT), OLIGOSACCHARYLTRANSFERASE (OST), MANNOSYL-OLIGOSACCHARIDE GLUCOSIDASE 1 (GCS1), MANNOSYL-OLIGOSACCHARIDE ALPHA-1,2-MANNOSIDASE (MAN1),MANNOSYL-OLIGOSACCHARIDE ALPHA-1,3-GLUCOSIDASE (GANAB), and ALPHA-1,6-MANNOSYL-GLYCOPROTEIN BETA-1,2-N-ACETYLGLUCOSAMINYLTRANSFERASE (MGAT2). Only one OST and one MGAT3 were down-regulated during dark-induced senescence.…”
