A simple sequence repeat (SSR)-based linkage map has been constructed for perennial ryegrass ( Lolium perenne L.) using a one-way pseudo-testcross reference population. A total of 309 unique perennial ryegrass SSR (LPSSR) primer pairs showing efficient amplification were evaluated for genetic polymorphism, with 31% detecting segregating alleles. Ninety-three loci have been assigned to positions on seven linkage groups. The majority of the mapped loci are derived from cloned sequences containing (CA)(n)-type dinucleotide SSR arrays. A small number (7%) of primer pairs amplified fragments that mapped to more than one locus. The SSR locus data has been integrated with selected data for RFLP, AFLP and other loci mapped in the same population to produce a composite map containing 258 loci. The SSR loci cover 54% of the genetic map and show significant clustering around putative centromeric regions. BLASTN and BLASTX analysis of the sequences flanking mapped SSRs indicated that a majority (84%) are derived from non-genic sequences, with a small proportion corresponding to either known repetitive DNA sequence families or predicted genes. The mapped LPSSR loci provide the basis for linkage group assignment across multiple mapping populations.

Perennial grasses' reproductive phenology profoundly impacts plant morphogenesis, biomass production, and perenniality in natural ecosystems and cultivated grasslands. Complex interactions between vegetative and reproductive development complicate grass phenology prediction for various environments and genotypes. This work aims to analyse genetic × environment interactions effects on tiller growth and reproductive development in Three perennial ryegrass cultivars, Bronsyn, Carvalis, and Tryskal, were grown from seedling to heading under four inductive conditions.

Early root traits, particularly total root length, are heritable and show positive genetic correlations with biomass yield in perennial ryegrass; incorporating them into breeding programs can enhance genetic gain. Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is an important forage grass widely used in pastures and lawns, valued for its high nutritive value and environmental benefits.

Elevated atmospheric CO2 (e[CO2]) often enhances plant photosynthesis and improves water status. However, the effects of e[CO2] vary significantly and are believed to be influenced by water availability. With the future warmer climate expected to increase the frequency and severity of extreme rainfall, the response of plants to e[CO2] under changing precipitation patterns remains uncertain.

This experiment determined the effects of two different starch sources when offered twice a day to cows during the early postpartum period (1 to 23 d postpartum, treatment period) on dry matter intake (DMI), feeding behavior, and milk production. The subsequent effects on milk production in the carryover period (24 to 72 d) where cows received a common diet (grazed perennial ryegrass pasture plus concentrate supplements) were also measured. Thirty-two multiparous dairy cows were offered concentrate feed (8 kg DM/d) containing 5 kg DM of crushed wheat grain or ground corn grain (7 h in vitro starch digestibility of 65.

Article Synopsis
- Perennial ryegrass exhibits varying levels of salt tolerance, with genotype P1 identified as salt-sensitive and genotype P2 as salt-tolerant when exposed to 200 mM NaCl.
- Through transcriptomics and metabolomics analyses, researchers found 5,728 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in response to salt stress, highlighting key genes and pathways that contribute to salt tolerance, such as antioxidant enzyme genes and metabolic pathways related to secondary metabolite biosynthesis.
- The study underscores the prominence of the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway in the salt tolerance of perennial ryegrass, particularly in genotype P2, which showed higher levels of beneficial compounds like flavonoids and anthocyanins.
