“…Asclepias syriaca and Miscanthus sinensis , respectively, are competitive species with S. altissima in the native range of the USA and in the invasive range of Japan. Ambrosia artemisiifoli and Poa pratensis are the invasive plant species from North America, Europa and North Asia [ 45 , 98 , 114 , 115 ]. However, the effectiveness of cis -DME on those plant species was not evidently different.…”

Solidago canadensis L. and Solidago altissima L. are native to North America and have naturalized many other continents including Europa and Asia. Their species is an aggressive colonizer and forms thick monospecific stands. The evidence of the allelopathy for S. canadensis and S. altissima has accumulated in the literature since the late 20th century. The root exudates, extracts, essential oil and rhizosphere soil of S. canadensis suppressed the germination, growth and the arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization of several plants, including native plant species. Allelochemicals such as fatty acids, terpenes, flavonoids, polyphenols and their related compounds were identified in the extracts and essential oil of S. canadensis. The concentrations of total phenolics, total flavonoids and total saponins in the rhizosphere soil of S. canadensis obtained from the invasive ranges were greater than those from the native ranges. Allelochemicals such as terpenes, flavonoids, polyacetylene and phenols were also identified in the extracts, essential oil and the rhizosphere soil in S. altissima. Among the identified allelochemicals of S. altissima, the cis-dehydromatricaria ester may be involved in the allelopathy considering its growth inhibitory activity and its concentration in the rhizosphere soil. Therefore, the allelopathy of S. canadensis and S. altissima may support their invasiveness, naturalization and formation of thick monospecific stands. This is the first review article focusing on the allelopathy of both of S. canadensis and S. altissima.

“…Over 150 cultivars of M. sinensis have been introduced [125], of which 40 are generally available to horticulture, and 10 occur on our campus. Traditional uses for Miscanthus include roof thatching material and fodder in Japan, where it is known as 'susuki' [148,149,150]. It is known as a wild food plant in Korea, where lowers and spikelets are consumed raw [151].…”

Beyond Turf and Lawn: Poaceae in This Age of Climate Change

Grasses - Benefits, Diversities and Functional Roles

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Grassland ecosystems dominated by Poaceae are estimated to cover 40.5% of Earth's land base, and domestication of a few edible grass species into highly productive cereal grains aided the shift from nomadic food gathering to ield cultivation and higher density habitation. In the Northern Hemisphere, grasses are used ornamentally and for pasture, fodder and forage with litle thought that the grasses livestock grazed upon, or those we gaze upon have multi-functional uses elsewhere. In this age of climate change, the use of Poaceae solely for aesthetics and amenity depletes inite potable water supplies that are needed for human survival. Agricultural land is consumed for turf seed production, and land is removed from food production. Cereals and their growing regions, which we have depended upon as food for millennia, are unlikely to adapt to climate change, and this will result in food insecurity and famines. Despite traditional uses of Poaceae in various cultures, many unrealized needs for food, medicine and other material goods could be met elsewhere with knowledge transfer. Our modern relationship with grass as an ornamental or amenity must end. As designers, gardeners and urban dwellers, we must use Poaceae for its multi-functions, which will lead to resilience and survival.

“…One of the most productive forms of miscanthus (Miscanthus × giganteus) is a sterile hybrid between Miscanthus sacchriflorus and Miscanthus sinensis that is clonally propagated by rhizomes [1,[16][17][18][19]. Some hybrids of M. sacchriflorus and M. sinensis display up to 30%-35% F 1 high-parent heterosis without selection for specific combining ability [20], and there has been considerable effort to identify, develop, and test new miscanthus hybrids [19,[21][22][23][24]. Switchgrass hybrids also show evidence of heterosis.…”

Abstract:Breeding of native cool-season grasses has the potential to improve forage production and expand the range of bioenergy feedstocks throughout western North America. Basin wildrye (Leymus cinereus) and creeping wildrye (Leymus triticoides) rank among the tallest and most rhizomatous grasses of this region, respectively. The objectives of this study were to develop interspecific creeping wildrye (CWR) × basin wildrye (BWR) hybrids and evaluate their biomass yield relative to tetraploid 'Trailhead', octoploid 'Magnar' and interploidy-hybrid 'Continental' BWR cultivars in comparison with other perennial grasses across diverse single-harvest dryland range sites and a two-harvest irrigated production system. Two half-sib hybrid populations were produced by harvesting seed from the tetraploid self-incompatible Acc:641.T CWR genet, which was clonally propagated by rhizomes into isolated hybridization blocks with two tetraploid BWR pollen parents: Acc:636 and 'Trailhead'. Full-sib hybrid seed was also produced from a controlled cross of tetraploid 'Rio' CWR and 'Trailhead' BWR plants. In space-planted range plots, the 'Rio' CWR × 'Trailhead' BWR and Acc:641.T CWR × Acc:636 BWR hybrids displayed high-parent heterosis with 75% and 36% yield advantages, respectively, but the Acc:641.T CWR × 'Trailhead' BWR hybrid yielded significantly less than its BWR high-parent in this evaluation. Half-sib CWR × BWR hybrids of Acc:636 and 'Trailhead' both yielded as good as or better than available BWR cultivars, with yields similar to switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), in the irrigated sward plots. These results elucidate opportunity to harness genetic variation among native grass species for the development of forage and bioenergy feedstocks in western North America.
