The paper assembles the genome of Themeda triandra, finds syntenic relationships with sorghum, and identifies genetic variation linked to environmental adaptation.

This study examines how hydraulic, stomatal, and anatomical traits in Themeda triandra relate to climate-of-origin, revealing two distinct drought strategies in different climatic conditions.

The paper examines drought response mechanisms in 16 Australian grass species, finding that stomatal closure, hydraulic impairment, and leaf browning occur simultaneously, unlike in trees, and drought traits are not correlated with climate origin.

This study examines trait-climate relationships in kangaroo grass (Themeda triandra) grown under controlled thermal regimes, finding phenotypic flexibility and strong correlations between flowering time and climate-of-origin.

This study examines how drought and temperature affect cuticular conductance in six Australian accessions of Themeda triandra, finding climate-linked patterns under drought but no thermal threshold.
