text: Lolium temulentum L. (Darnel ryegrass) has been proposed as a model grass species for functional genomics studies (Ge et al., 2007) because it is self‐pollinated, is easy to grow, flowers in the greenhouse without vernalization, has a short life cycle, and is closely related to important forage and turf grasses in the Lolium–Festuca complex (Kirigwi et al., 2008; Mian et al., 2005).
