BERMUDAGRASS varieties are planted as forage crops more than any other warm-season perennial species throughout the southeastern USA (Burton and Hanna, 1995). However, current investment in genetic improvement in this crop is not commensurate with its impact on the U.S. economy. Bermudagrass breeders frequently encounter three major challenges: (i) many of the so called "ecotypes" are selected from farmer fields with limited pedigree history and source of origin; (ii) limited knowledge is known for the genome of the forage-type bermudagrass, including DNA content, genome size, and ploidy level; and (iii) there is a lack of suitable methods for appropriate genetic ...
