This study identifies four novel candidate genes for stem rust resistance in Italian ryegrass using nested association mapping and high-density genotyping.

This paper establishes the first NAM population in Italian ryegrass to identify candidate genes for seed shattering and related traits using ddRAD and whole genome sequencing.

The paper presents a chromosome-level haplotype-resolved genome assembly for Italian ryegrass, revealing gene order collinearity and sequence variation between haplotypes, and identifies QTL for stem rust resistance.

This study shows that recurrent phenotypic selection on spaced plants reduces seed shattering in Italian ryegrass, increasing seed yield.
