Background Apomixis is an alternative route of plant reproduction that produces individuals
genetically identical to the mother plant through seeds. Apomixis is desirable in agriculture …

The objective of this review is to analyze and describe the impact that mode of reproduction
in Paspalum has on germplasm conservation, genetic improvement, and commercialization …

Paspalum notatum Flüggé is an economically important subtropical fodder grass that is
widely used in the Americas. Here, we report a new chromosome-scale genome assembly …

Polyploidy is common among grasses (Poaceae) and poses challenges for conventional
breeding. Genome editing technology circumvents crossing and selfing, enabling targeted …

In the past decades, the grasses of the Paspalum genus have emerged as a versatile model
allowing evolutionary, genetic, molecular, and developmental studies on apomixis as well …

Understanding leaf generation dynamics, their seasonal changes, and their responses to
nitrogen fertilization (NF) is key to improving pasture utilization efficiency. The objectives of …

Crop improvement in bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flüggé) is limited by apomixis in most
natural tetraploids, however, diploid sexual types occur. Production of sexual tetraploids by …

Abstract Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flüggé) is one of the main components of the South
American grasslands, and it is cultivated for forage and turf around the world. At present …

The Paspalum genus includes several species that are important for livestock in Rio Grande
do Sul, such as P. notatum and P. guenoarum, typical of native pastures of the Pampa …

As the earth's climate changes, the ability of breeders to select for traits within forage species
that impart adaptability to these changes will be critical for the maintenance of grassland …
