Cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.) is an important cool season grass species in the moderate climate of Iran. In order to evaluate the yield and quality traits, an experiment was conducted in irrigation conditions using 36 accessions of Dactylis glomerata using a randomized complete block design with three replications in Islamabad, Kermanshah province, Iran in 2010. Characters such as forage dr...

Selection from novel orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) germplasm sources resulted in the development of an early maturing population. Fifty-eight families comprise this population and were evaluated under frequent infrequent harvest intervals at Lewiston Millville, UT, field locations during 2013 2014. The objective study was to characterize performance individual when compared with check cu...

Abstract Understanding the relationship between flowering patterns and pollen dispersal is important in climate change modelling, forecasting, forestry agriculture. Enhanced understanding of this connection can be gained through detailed spatial temporal observations on a population level, combined with modelling simulating dynamics. Species large distribution ranges, long seasons, high product...

The accurate identification of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) cultivars is necessary to ensure purity for consumers, the effective utilization of cultivars, and to protect the intellectual property for breeders. Therefore, this study aimed to use SSR to construct DNA fingerprinting of orchardgrass cultivars. The genetic diversity of 32 orchardgrass cultivars originated from 21 countries, ...
