It is a perennial bunchgrass and is characterized by dense basal leaves that retain their nutritive value better during the late summer and autumn than many other grasses [12].
As mentioned above, early investigators have recognized the potential of using inflorescence phytoliths for discriminating between wheat and barley [10], [28], wild and domesticated Oryza [6], [12], Avena sativa and A. strigosa [36], and many other grasses [23], [37] [39].
It is present in P. palustris and its polyploid relatives, though not at the homologous position, and is absent from many other grasses, including non-transgenic F. ovina plants.
Tillering is an important, well-regulated developmental event in cereal crops and many other grasses.
On the other hand, rps14 and rpl5 may simply lie near different ends of the expected frequency distribution of pseudogene deletion in such slowly evolving genomes as those of plant mitochondria (note also that despite the five rpl5 losses, many other grasses retain virtually intact rpl5 pseudogenes; our unpublished data).
English-speaking readers now have the opportunity to judge this episode in context, but it is unlikely that they will be able to make complete sense of it or of many other aspects of Mr. Grass's remarkable life, since, again and again, the novelist overrules the memoirist.
