Reproductive biology of Lasiurus sindicus: a vital perennial fodder grass for arid ecosystem

Different aspects of reproductive biology of L. sindicus, were examined which provided insight into conservation and management of this unique plant species for rangeland management programs. Floral traits, such as large pollen count, high grain setting in open pollination treatment and absence of pollinators in L. sindicus indicated towards wind-mediated out-crossing. Our findings have laid a solid foundation for various genetic studies and improvement programs of L. sindicus.
