Ryegrass in pastures – breeding for resilience
The suggestion that modern pasture cultivars persist less well than their predecessors is not supported by facts. However in some regions there is a crisis in farmer experience of persistence of ryegrass pastures, and ryegrass breeding can contribute to a resolution. This paper considers the turnover of tillers in a pasture, the population structure of a grass sward and the involvement of endop...
متن کاملHow Much Supplement is Needed for Early Weaned Calves Grazing Rye- Ryegrass Pastures?
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of three levels of supplement on forage intake and animal performance of early weaned calves grazing rye-ryegrass pastures from January to May. Treatments were three levels of concentrate (1, 1.5, and 2% of body weight [BW]), and animals were 90-d-old Angus-crossbred early weaned calves. Calf ADG increased from 1.6 to 1.9 lb/d as supplement...
متن کاملForages and pastures symposium: fungal endophytes of tall fescue and perennial ryegrass: pasture friend or foe?
Tall fescue [Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh. syn. Festuca arundinacea Schreb.] and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) are important perennial forage grasses utilized throughout the moderate- to high-rainfall temperate zones of the world. These grasses have coevolved with symbiotic fungal endophytes (Epichloë/Neotyphodium spp.) that can impart bioactive properties and environmental st...
متن کاملThe janthitrems: fluorescent tremorgenic toxins produced by Penicillium janthinellum isolates from ryegrass pastures.
New tremorgenic mycotoxins named janthitrem A, B, and C (molecular weights 601, 585, and 569, respectively) were produced by more than half of 21 Penicillium janthinellum isolates obtained from ryegrass pastures involved in ryegrass staggers outbreaks in sheep.
متن کاملGenetic Gain and Inbreeding from Genomic Selection in a Simulated Commercial Breeding Program for Perennial Ryegrass.
Genomic selection (GS) provides an attractive option for accelerating genetic gain in perennial ryegrass () improvement given the long cycle times of most current breeding programs. The present study used simulation to investigate the level of genetic gain and inbreeding obtained from GS breeding strategies compared with traditional breeding strategies for key traits (persistency, yield, and fl...
