FORAGE, TURF, AND BIOENERGY CROPS

Salinity and cultivar effects on alfalfa forage yield and nutritive value in a Mediterranean climate

Aaron W. Anderson, Umair Gull, Sharon E. Benes, Simarjeet Singh, Robert B. Hutmacher, Edward Charles Brummer, Daniel H. Putnam*

Salinity tolerance index (STI) of alfalfa cultivars. Alfalfa cultivars respond differently to salinity, with some showing dramatic declines and others showing modest declines due to saline conditions. However, some cultivars with high STI, nevertheless, were low yielding, and some with a low STI performed well under high and low saline conditions.

Genomic prediction of seasonal forage yield in perennial ryegrass

Agnieszka Konkolewska*, Steffi e Phang, Patrick Conaghan, Dan Milbourne, Aonghus Lawlor, Stephen Byrne

This study evaluated the accuracy of genomic prediction models for seasonal forage yield production in perennial ryegrass. Using uncorrelated single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) improved model accuracy, while selecting SNPs based on their concordance across different experiments reduced it. These findings could help develop low-cost genotyping platforms for routine and cost-effective implementation of genomic selection.

Grain yield stability analysis using parametric and nonparametric statistics in oat (Avena sativa L.) genotypes in Ethiopia

Gezahagn Kebede*, Walelign Worku, Habte Jifar, Fekede Feyissa

The grain yield performance of oat genotypes is highly variable across environments due to variations in edaphic, biotic, and abiotic factors. Therefore, it is very important to conduct yield stability analysis using parametric and nonparametric statistics to select stable and superior genotypes.

Selection of rhizobial strains diff ering in their nodulation kinetics under low temperature in four temperate legume species

Emmanuelle D’Amours, Annick Bertrand*, Jean Cloutier, François‐Philippe Chalifour, Annie Claessens, Solen Rocher, Marie Bipfubusa, Chantal Giroux, Chantal J. Beauchamp

Four species of temperate legumes including sainfoin were inoculated with various strains of rhizobium and grown under low temperatures. Strains differed in their capacity to form nodules on legume hosts. Nitrogen (N)-fixing potentials of strains showing good nodulation were compared by measuring the nitrogenase activity of potted plants as well as the yield of host plants. Cold-adapted rhizobial strains that are efficient to nodulate and fix N in association with each legume species were identified.

Arachis species: High‐quality forage crops—nutritional properties and breeding strategies to expand their utilization and feeding value

Hui Song*, Yafeng Huang, Lanlan Ding, Zhenquan Duan, Jiancheng Zhang

The genus Arachis has been developed for use as a fodder crop. To date, no forage-cultivated peanut varieties have been bred. Wild–cultivated peanut hybridization is suitable for creating new peanut forage varieties.

ECOSYSTEMS

Functional group richness increases multifunctionality in intensively managed grasslands

Laura Argens*, Caroline Brophy, Wolfgang W. Weisser, Sebastian Meyer

The effect of individual functional groups and their combinations on multifunctionality in grassland leys has been examined in this study. High proportions of legumes and herbs resulted in increased multifunctionality, and mixing all three functional groups generally enhanced ecosystem multifunctionality, as long as grass dominance was avoided.

Revitalizing the grassland on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau
Shikui Dong*

The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau grassland is a coupled socio-ecological system, which can be impacted by either internal factors or external drivers, leading to the degradation or collapse of the socio-ecological system. The resilience and sustainability of the QTP grassland need to be promoted through adaptative management.
