Narrative
Eragrostis curvula usually reproduces by diplosporic apomixis. This is the only known source of obligate sexual reproduction at the tetraploid (2n=4x=40) chromosome level in this species. All other sources of sexual reproduction in the E. curvula complex are diploid (2n=2x=20) or are facultative apomicts. Because of its unique method of reproduction, should be increased in isolation from other E. curvula or related lovegrass species.
