We review recent progress in understanding cold and freezing stress responses in forage
grass species, notably Lolium and Festuca species. The chromosomal positions of important …

Background Self-incompatibility (SI) systems prevent self-fertilization in several species of
Poaceae, many of which are economically important forage, bioenergy and turf grasses. Self …

Seed yield is a trait of major interest for the key grassland species Lolium perenne L. An F2
mapping population of perennial ryegrass (VrnA), recently characterised for vernalisation …

Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for frost and drought tolerance, and winter survival in the field,
were mapped in meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds.) and compared with …

FISH is a useful method to identify individual chromosomes in a karyotype and to discover
their structural changes accompanying genome evolution and speciation. DNA probes for …

Mutational load and resource allocation factors and their effects on limiting seed set were
investigated in ryegrass by comparative mapping genomics and quantitative trait loci (QTL) …

Fescues are very diverse grasses which are important components of natural, permanent,
and intensively managed grasslands, lawns, and turfs, and are used for conservation …

Flowering time is a trait which has a major influence on the quality of forage. In addition,
flowering and subsequent seed yields are important traits for seed production by grass …

Species belonging to the Festuca–Lolium complex are important forage and turf species and
as such, have been studied intensively. However, their out-crossing nature and limited …
