Abstract:

Giant Juncao (Cenchrus fungigraminus) has been widely used in cultivation as high-quality herbage and ecological management material due to its advantages such as fast growth, large biomass, strong stress resistance and wide adaptability. In particular, good results have been achieved in the restoration of the ecologically fragile areas and the heavy metal pollution areas. However, due to its late introduction into China, few studies have been conducted on molecular aspects. In this paper, we review the molecular research progress of Giant Juncao in the aspects of genetic molecular markers, transcriptomics, stress resistance and so on, as well as its application in ecological restoration and management, in hoping to provide references for deep exploration of the feeding value and ecological restoration value of Giant Juncao.

Key words: Giant Juncao, molecular marker, transcriptome, ecological restoration
