Apomictic Grasses
I'm running back to my home newsgroup Soc.History.Medieval where manners and
mutual respect are the norm. I don't care about aponymous grasses, anyway! - - - * SLAM * "Cereoid-UR12-" wrote in message m... I asked Phredo to answer the question, not you Iris. I also meant actual species names not just the names of genera. You don't get even partial credit for half answers or holding little Phredo's hand. Iris Cohen wrote in message ... Name ten grasses in different genera that are apomictic!!! BRBR A quick search revealed the fact that many genera of the Poaceae contain apomictic species. These include Pennisetum, Poa, Sorghum, buffelgrass, and others I don't remember. A great deal of research is going on right now to isolate the genes for apomixis in order to develop consistent strains of superior food & forage plants. You might know that such an advanced and widespread family as the Poaceae would have a backup system in case wind pollination doesn't work.
