Cynodon dactylon
TaxID: 28909
Basic Information
Cynodon dactylon
Bahama Grass, Bermuda Grass, Bermuda grass
Cynodon dactylon, commonly known as Bermuda grass or as couch grass in Australia and New Zealand, is a grass found worldwide. It is native to Europe, Africa, Australia, and much of Asia namely Nepal's hilly regions and has been introduced to the Americas. Contrary to its common name, Cynodon dactylon is not native to Bermuda but is an abundant invasive species there. In Bermuda, it has been known as crabgrass, also a name for Digitaria sanguinalis. Other names include dhoob, d rv grass, ethana grass, dubo, dog grass, dog's tooth grass, Bahama grass, devil's grass, couch grass, Indian doab, arugampul, grama, wiregrass, and scutch grass. Hybrids with Cynodon transvaalensis are known. These interspecific hybrids occur naturally through cross-pollination, but cultivars are also developed by selecting individual plants with desirable traits from seeded or vegetatively propagated stands. These cultivars are typically triploids, meaning they contain three sets of chromosomes.

PRJNA1118299 SRX28497409 SRP580491 weed RNA-Seq of Premier_Control leaf sample Total RNA was extracted from Cynodon dactylon (bermudagrass) tissue samples and subjected to quality control to assess RNA integrity and purity. Messenger RNA (mRNA) was isolated using poly-T oligo-attached magnetic beads to selectively enrich polyadenylated transcripts. The purified mRNA was fragmented and used as a template for first-strand cDNA synthesis using random hexamer primers. Second-strand cDNA synthesis was then performed, incorporating dUTP or dTTP depending on whether a directional or non-directional library was desired.For non-directional libraries, cDNA was subjected to end repair, A-tailing, adapter ligation, size selection, PCR amplification, and purification.The final libraries were quantified using Qubit fluorometric quantitation and real-time PCR, and fragment size distribution was analyzed using a Bioanalyzer. Qualified libraries were pooled in equimolar concentrations and sequenced on an Illumina high-throughput platform based on the desired sequencing depth and effective library concentration.
