Abstract Analysis of the ploidy levels between different plant species can help the breeder to
select strategies for cross-based breeding programs. In this study, various ecotypes of …

Information is lacking on the genomic relationships between Festuca mairei St. Yves and
Lolium perenne L. Tetraploid (2n= 4x= 28, where x= the related affinity of the more closely …

Abstract Background Species of the Festuca and Lolium genera, as well as intergeneric
Festuca× Lolium (Festulolium) hybrids, are valuable fodder and turf grasses for agricultural …

A ploidy series ranging from diploid (2x) to decaploid (10x) in Festuca species and their
close genomic relationships with Lolium spp. have provided unique plant materials for …

The karyological study of four species (11 populations) of the genus Festuca L. from different
geographic origins is presented. Basic chromosome number in all populations was x= 7. A …

Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) was used to characterize the chromosome constitutions
of individual plants from a set of tetraploid and hexaploid cultivars of Festulolium developed …

In this study, aneuploid plants in the C2 generation of autotetraploid meadow fescue were
selected, and some cytological properties influencing fertility were studied at different ploidy …

Since a high level of polyploidy may play an important role in increasing forage dry matter
yield, a number of natural populations of Lolium species were investigated for their ploidy …

Many different processes have an impact on the shape of plant karyotype. Recently,
cytogenetic examination of Lolium species has revealed the occurrence of spontaneous …

Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) was used to make a detailed study of chromosome
pairing at metaphase I (MI) of meiosis in six F1 hybrid plants of the allotetraploid Festuca …
