Brachiaria species have become important components of sown pastures in the humid lowlands of tropical America. This ecosystem occupies about 50 of Brazil; 60 of the area encompassed by Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador; 14 of Mexico; and significant areas in other countries of the region. The cultivars...
Two essentials for breeding new cultivars of Brachiaria are germplasm diversity and information on basic biological aspects of major species. This paper reviews current knowledge on the cytological behavior, mode of reproduction and its inheritance, and crossing compatibility of different species...

Genetics, cytogenetics, and reproductive biology of Brachiaria
Until 10 years ago, genetic improvement of Brachiaria species depended entirely on selection among naturally existing genotypes, genetic recombination being impossible because of prevailing apomictic reproduction. However, recent advances in understanding the genetics and cytogenetics of Brachiar...
