The six breeding generations and associated evaluation research that resulted in the development of these germplasms was initiated in 1973 and continued for over three decades. During their development, the populations were given the name of the base population, EYxFF, followed by the breeding cycle number. The cultivar `Trailblazer? was developed in the first generation or cycle (EYxFF C1) of recurrent breeding for high IVDMD. The resulting tested germplasms were named NE Trailblazer followed by the selection cycle in which the population was developed to simplify their nomenclature. As a result of the multi-generations of recurrent breeding, the resulting populations differ significantly for IVDMD and for 25 other forage quality or biomass composition traits including both acid detergent and Klason lignin. There are also differences among the populations for winter survival. The genetic differences in biomass composition are fully described in: Vogel, K.P., Mitchell, R.M., Sarath, G., Jung, H.G., Dien, B.S., and Casler, M.D. 2013. Switchgrass biomass composition altered by six generations of divergent breeding for digestibility, Crop Science 53:853-862 (doi: 10.2135/cropsci2012.09.0542). These germplasms can be used in genetics studies for determining the inheritance of multiple biomass composition traits and can be used to identify genes controlling specific biomass composition properties of switchgrass and other perennial grasses that affect forage quality and potential biomass conversion to liquid fuels. | 1918682 | PI 672014 |
