Ploidy — Creeping Bentgrass
Agrostis stolonifera L.
Creeping bentgrass is an allotetraploid with a base chromosome set of 2n = 4x = 28. The species is characterized by significant polyploid variation, with variants ranging from 28 to 42 chromosomes occurring in different populations.
In the reference 3 varieties crop Creeping bentgrass, where this is mentioned in the description.
This species is characterized by intragenotypic chromosome number variation, which is why it is considered a complex polyploid complex. To determine ploidy levels in breeding practice, flow cytometry is used to assess nuclear DNA content, along with direct cytological chromosome counting in root cells.
In commercial cultivation, ploidy is a genetic characteristic of the variety established by the originator. It does not serve as an independent evaluation criterion for the agronomist; however, it is taken into account when analyzing the morphological features of a variety and the stability of its economically valuable traits.
