GENERATION OF DIHAPLOIDS OF MEADOW FESCUE AND FESTULOLIUM

摘要

Dihaploid recoveries of Schendonorus meadow fescue and festulolium may be created using the method disclosed herein. The method includes crossing a ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) inducer line (IL) with individuals from a meadow fescue or festulolium cultivar or population. Such a cross can create a variety of resulting individual plants, including dihaploid recoveries. Some of the dihaploid recoveries can also be rhizomatous even when the parental meadow fescue or festulolium plant did not display a rhizomatous trait.
