Abstract
Cytogenetic studies on species in the Lolium/Festuca complex, and other grasses are used to develop the most effective procedures to achieve gene transfer between species, and to stabilise resulting favourable combinations. This involves the introduction of single chromosomes or segments, the introgression of single characters from one species to another, and the production of isogenic lines. The objective is to produce new germplasm combining desirable agronomic characters from parental species, which will have potential both for development as breeding material and for studies on genome organisation and recombination in this complex.
