This project aims to improve forage grass productivity through innovative breeding techniques that address genetic challenges in hybrid seed production. It focuses on enhancing traits related to self-compatibility and hybrid vigor in perennial ryegrass.
Grassland is a key component of a diverse but productive European agroecosystem and contributes to sustainable feed and food production worldwide.
Novel grass breeding schemes based on a more efficient exploitation of heterosis have the potential to substantially outperform current forage grass varieties in terms of biomass yield, resistance and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses.
However, current attempts to produce hybrids in forage crops are limited by self-incompatibility (SI), a genet…
