1. The larvae feed on Digitaria pruriens, Oplismenus compositus, Paspalum conjugatum and occasionally on sugarcane.

2. Aspergillus tamarii Kita. isolated from seeds of Paspalum scrobiculatum L. is found to produce ergot alkaloids in submerged culture.

3. Here we profiled floral sRNAs originated from apomictic and sexual Paspalum notatum genotypes in order to identify molecular pathways under epigenetic control that might be involved in the transition from sexuality to Agamospermy.
