'NU-ARS AC2' crested wheatgrass [Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn.-A. cristatum vat. pectinatum (M. Bieb.) Tzvelev] (Reg. no. CV-28, PI 634507) is a broadly adapted, complex composite population produced by allowing selected plants from fairway-type germplasm accessions to randomly intermate. It originates from collections made by Douglas Dewey, USDA-ARS Plant Geneticist, in the former USSR in 1977. It was released in September 2002 by USDA-ARS: Agricultural Research Division, Insti...

Long-term harmful effects of crested wheatgrass on Great Plains grassland ecosystems.(Special Issue: Global Change & Terrestrial Ecosystems)
Journal of Soil and Water Conservation ; Invasions by exotic plants are occurring at an increasing rate and are considered a serious threat to both agricultural systems as well as native communities (Drake et al. 1989). Many of the most harmful exotics in North America were introduced intentionally (Ruesink et al. 1995, Williams 1980).

Carbon isotope discrimination, ash, and canopy temperature in three wheatgrass species.
Crop Science ; Soil water is a limiting factor in forage production for pastures, haylands, and rangelands in the semiarid Northern Great Plains. Conventional approaches to genetically improve dry matter production and WUE in water-limited environments have been effective but slow (Barker et al., 1989).
Genetic relationships among selected crested wheatgrass cultivars and species determined on the basis of AFLP markers. (Cell Biology & Molecular Genetics).(Amplified fragment length polymorphism)
Crop Science ; THE GENUS Agropyron Gaertn. consists of 10 to 15 species, all of which have the P genome, and is referred to as the crested wheatgrass complex (Asay and Jensen, 1996). The genus is characterized by persistent, drought resistant, tussock grasses which originate from the steppes of central Asia
Genetic variances of agronomic and morphological traits of diploid crested wheatgrass.
Crop Science ; Crested wheatgrass [Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertner, A. desertorum Fisch. ex Link, and other taxa] is grown extensively throughout the northern Great Plains of the USA. This grass exists naturally at the diploid (2n = 2x = 14), tetraploid (2n = 4x = 28), and hexaploid (2n = 6x = 42) levels. Only
Registration of `RoadCrest' Crested Wheatgrass.
Crop Science ; `RoadCrest' crested wheatgrass [Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn.] (Reg. no. CV-25, PI 606546), a rhizomatous cultivar, was developed by a research team at the USDA-ARS Forage and Range Research Laboratory, Utah State University, Logan, UT, and was released on 2 June 1998 in cooperation with the
Pasture Management Influences on Soil Properties in the Northern Great Plains.(Statistical Data Included)
Journal of Soil and Water Conservation ; Karn, J.F. ABSTRACT: The effect of management practices associated with livestock grazing on soil properties are largely unknown. Several physical, chemical, and biological soil properties were compared for soil from a native vegetation exclosure, a moderately grazed native vegetation pasture

Crop Science ; INBREEDING HAS BEEN widely used in cross-pollinated species to help identify parents with superior genetic value. Kimberg and Bingham (1998) noted that increasing the level of homozygosity through inbreeding should facilitate both the elimination of deleterious recessive alleles and the selection
