Self-incompatibility (SI) mechanisms prevent self-fertilization in flowering plants based on
specific discrimination between self-and non-self pollen. Since this trait promotes …

For 30 years, forage ryegrass breeding has known that the germplasm may contain a
maternally inherited symbiotic Epichloë endophyte. These endophytes produce a suite of …

Genomic selection (GS) based recurrent selection methods were developed to accelerate
the domestication of intermediate wheatgrass [IWG, Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) …

Allogamous grasses exhibit an effective two-locus gametophytic self-incompatibility (SI)
system, limiting the range of breeding techniques applicable for cultivar development …

The importance of haploid and doubled haploid (DH) techniques for basic and applied
research, as well as to improve the speed of genetic gain when applied in breeding …

Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is widely used for forage production in both
permanent and temporary grassland systems. To increase yields in perennial ryegrass …

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 …

Self-incompatibility (SI) is a mechanism that many flowering plants employ to prevent
fertilisation by self-and self-like pollen ensuring heterozygosity and hybrid vigour. Although a …

Key message A self-fertility locus was fine mapped to a 1.6 cM region on linkage group 5 in
a perennial ryegrass population. This locus was the main determinant of pollen self …

Background Self-incompatibility (SI) is a physiological mechanism that many flowering
plants employ to prevent self-fertilization and maintain heterozygosity. In the grass family this …
