Interspecific hybrids between Paspalum plicatulum and P. oteroi: a key tool for forage breeding
Grama-tio-pedro (Paspalum oteroi Swallen) is a rare stoloniferous grass of the Plicatula group of Paspalum, well adapted to continuous grazing in areas subject to seasonal flooding in the Pantanal region, in central western Brazil. The species is a facultative apomictic (asexual reproduction by seed...

Grama-tio-pedro (Paspalum oteroi Swallen) is a rare stoloniferous grass of the Plicatula group of Paspalum, well adapted to continuous grazing in areas subject to seasonal flooding in the Pantanal region, in central western Brazil. The species is a facultative apomictic (asexual reproduction by seed) tetraploid, sporadically cultivated in Pantanal farms, either propagated by cuttings or seed. Due to its potential for extensive cultivation and its forage quality, it appears as a good candidate for genetic improvement within the Plicatula group through plant breeding.
