Narrative
Progeny trials, conducted in 1994-1995 spaced-plant nursery, determined that the level of apomixis was sufficient for commercial seed production. A survey of 1928 plants of Odyssey showed that 1.74% of plants were variants in the vegetative (pre-flowering) stage, 0.39% were heading maturity variants, 0.95% seedhead variants, 0.21% miniature plants, and 0% were headless plants. Some variants exhibit high susceptibility to powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis). These plants tend to have wider leaves and dissimilar seedheads, but comparable culm lengths to the majority plant form. About 1-2% of plants (variants) have a very short culm and are very late in maturity. About 1 in 1,000 plants are a taller-growing, 'common-type' variant with light-colored seedheads extending approx. 10 cm above the majority culm length. Aberrant progeny are rogued from seedstock fields to insure continued uniformity and stability, but they will continue to occur in every generation. The spaced-plant apomixis rate of Odyssey averages 95%, but varies 5% depending upon year, location, and weather.
