Morphological variation in Paspalum nicorae Parodi accessions, a promising forage

Abstract: Paspalum nicorae Parodi is a perennial, apomictic tetraploid forage species, native in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, with grazing tolerance and adapted to sandy soils and moderate droughts. As a first step to future breeding, a morphological characterization regarding leaf hairiness, sheath, leaf and central venation color, growing habit, plant height, raceme number and length, and leaf length and width was performed in 53 accessions from Rio Grande do Sul that are part of a Paspalum species breeding… Show more

“…Para Strapasson et al (2000), o fato dessas espécies comporem o ecossistema nativo acarreta menor risco de desequilíbrio biológico pela exploração pecuária. Em razão da grande variabilidade intra e interespecífica existente no gênero Paspalum, há grande potencial para sua exploração em programas de melhoramento genético (Batista & Godoy 2000;Reis et al, 2010;Pereira et al, 2011).…”

“…Os acessos utilizados foram obtidos de coleção pertencente ao Departamento de Plantas Forrageiras e Agrometeorologia, da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, a partir de coletas realizadas em ecossistemas naturais do estado (Reis et al, 2010;Pereira et al, 2011). Os acessos de maior potencial forrageiro, determinado em estudo preliminar, foram selecionados para a realização do experimento: P. nicorae (acessos: 28B, 26A, 28C, 26D e 28E) e P. guenoarum (acessos: Azulão e Baio).…”

“…The use of native species is important because these plants are already adapted to inhabit regions that, due to a long process of natural selection carried out over time by nature, maintain the natural biodiversity of the grassland ecosystem. The variation in the wealth of native forage species is a valuable source for selecting the best kind [6].…”

“…Several studies have highlighted that species of the genus Paspalum, being native, have advantages over exotic plants and high inter-and intraspecific variabilities in forage characteristics (REIS et al, 2010;PEREIRA et al, 2011;PEREIRA et al, 2012). As a result, there is great potential for exploiting these species in genetic improvement programs for using them as forage plants (REIS et al, 2010).…”
