Complex polyploid and hybrid species in an apomictic and sexual tropical forage grass group: genomic composition and evolution inUrochloa(Brachiaria) species

Abstract
Background and Aims Diploid and polyploid Urochloa (including Brachiaria , Panicum and Megathyrsus species) C 4 tropical forage grasses originating from Africa and now planted worldwide are important for food security and the environment, often being planted in marginal lands. We aimed to characterize the nature of their genomes, the repetitive DNA, and the genome composition of polyploids, leading to a model of the evolutionary pathways within...
