Drought and heat tolerant fine-leaved fescue (Festuca ssp.) grasses have potential as components in rangeland greenstrips for wildfire control in semi-arid climates, although such grasses have not been evaluated under rangeland conditions. Therefore, 63 geographically diverse Festuca accessions of 11 ...

Fine-leaved fescue ( Festuca L.) species are valuable breeding material with potential use for marginal land cover. However, the breeding of these species is complicated by morphological similarity among species and high heterogenity within species. Molecular DNA markers are needed to facilitate ...
Fescues are a very complex group of grasses of the Poaceae family. They have a wide adaptation as they are distributed all over the world. The close morphological resemblance of species (Festuca spp.) makes their identification and classification difficult Therefore, it is not clear how many ...
FESCUEPHYLOGENYGRASSESSPECIESMOLECULAR phylogenyFestuca is one of the largest genera within the Poaceae family. Molecular phylogenies demonstrate that Festuca s.l. comprises two groups: broad‐ and fine‐leaved species. The latter is the species‐richest and taxonomically complicated group d...
