“…Due to many examples of hybrids that occur in Poaceae, including intergeneric hybrids such as the wheat-grass cross of Triticum × Agropyron [25,26], Oryzopsis × Stipa [27], Dendrocalamus × Gigantochloa [28], and intrageneric hybrids such as in Elymus [7,29,30], Andropogon [31], Elytrigia [32], Arundinaria [33], Poa [34] and Austrostipa [35], therefore the family constitute an excellent example for research on the role of interspecific hybridization [36][37][38][39]. Along with the previously mentioned examples, Stipa is one of the genera with over 150 species found in warm temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and North Africa [40][41][42], with approximately 30% of hybrid origin taxa [40]. The majority of hybrid identifications in Stipa (e.g.…”
