Disease relevance of Agrostis

• Pseudomonas fluorescens HP72, which suppresses the brown patch disease on bentgrass, produces several secondary metabolites, 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG), HCN, siderophore, and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) [1].
• Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) transformation using phosphinothricin selection results in a high frequency of single-copy transgene integration [2].

High impact information on Agrostis

• The applicability of this rapid-screening technique for metabolic perturbations in monocotyledonous species was demonstrated by treating Agrostis tenuis seedlings with Imazapyr, an inhibitor of branched-chain amino acid synthesis [3].
• Imidacloprid had no effect on urease activity in creeping bentgrass or bluegrass sod at up to 10 times the commercial application rate [4].
• Thermotolerance and antioxidant systems in Agrostis stolonifera: involvement of salicylic acid, abscisic acid, calcium, hydrogen peroxide, and ethylene [5].
• The influence of season and leaf age on concentrations of radiocaesium (137Cs), stable caesium (133Cs) and potassium in Agrostis capillaris [6].
• We have generated transgenic creeping bentgrass plants expressing three forms of ribosome-inactivating proteins from pokeweed, which are termed pokeweed antiviral proteins (PAP) [7].

Associations of Agrostis with chemical compounds

• A dose-response relationship between cadmium concentration and peak current at -930 mV was observed after exposure of roots of Agrostis at 5 and 10 microM [8].
• In the spring of 2001, azoxystrobin, chlorothalonil, flutolanil, and propiconazole were applied separately over a 6-week period to creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.). Total and fungicide-resistant yeast populations were assessed by dilution plating onto either potato dextrose agar or potato dextrose agar amended with the test fungicides [9].
• In the fall, azoxystrobin or propiconazole were applied twice to the bentgrass over 3 weeks [9].
• Partitioning and persistence of trichlorfon and chlorpyrifos in a creeping bentgrass putting green [10].
• Sampling cylinders (20 cm diam. x 30 cm long) were placed vertically in plots of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.), tall fescue (Festuca arundinaceae Schreb.), or bare soil. ethofumesate [(+/-)-2-ethoxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethylbenzofuran-5-yl methansulfonate] was applied at 840 g ai ha(-)(1) on September 21, 1997 [11].

Gene context of Agrostis

• Both bentgrass (BT) and zoysiagrass thatch (ZT) contained a greater concentration of CExt, CFA, CHA, and ARC than the respective soils (BS and ZS) [12].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Agrostis

• A metal-binding polypeptide (phytochelatin) was prepared by liquid chromatography from the algae Pheodactylum tricornutum and roots of the graminae Agrostis capillaris after exposure to cadmium [8].
• Polarography as a tool in peptide and protein analysis: studies on metal-chelating substances induced by cadmium in the algae Pheodactylum tricornutum and the graminae Agrostis capillaris [8].
