United States Department of Agriculture Plant Inventory Agricultural Research Service No. 212 Plant Materials Introduced in 2003 (Nos. 632417 - 634360) Foreword Plant Inventory No. 212 is the official listing of plant materials accepted into the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) between January 1 and December 31, 2003 and includes PI 632417 to PI 634360. The NPGS is managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS). The information on each accession is essentially the information provided with the plant material when it was obtained by the NPGS. The information on an accession in the NPGS database may change as additional knowledge is obtained. The Germplasm Resources Information Network (http://www.ars-grin.gov/npgs/index.html) is the database for the NPGS and should be consulted for the current accession and evaluation information and to request germplasm. While the USDA/ARS attempts to maintain accurate information on all NPGS accessions, it is not responsible for the quality of the information it has been provided.

The following were developed by Dennis Cash, Montana State University, Animal & Range Sciences Department, 235 Linfield Hall, Bozeman, Montana 59717-3120, United States. Received 01/03/2003. PI 632417. Bromus riparius Rehmann Cultivar. "MacBeth". Pedigree - Synthetic variety with 47 maternal parent plants selected from Fleet. Cool-season, mildly rhizomatous perennial forage grass. Regrowth following clipping is rapid, similar to Fleet, Paddock and Regar. Leaf dimensions, degree of leaf pubescence, rate of phonological development, culm length and seed characteristics are similar to Fleet. Similar plant height to Fleet, and taller than Regar prior to seed maturity. Tolerates intensive fall clipping better than Regar or adapted cvs. of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata). Forage yields in multi-year trials across Montana of 102, 102 and 104% of Fleet, Paddock, and Regar, respectively. Across dryland sites, 10% higher forage yields than Regar. Excellent seed production potential. Across 3 locations, produced 134% higher seed yields than Regar. Adapted to cool, moist (or irrigated) areas in the intermountain western U.S. Useful as a single species for permanent pastures, or in grain-legume mixtures for grazing or hay production.

Early maturity group V with white flowers and tawny pubescence. Seeds yellow with lustrous seed coats and black hila. Seeds weigh 14.4 g per 100. Seed protein percentage activity high. Plant habit indeterminate. Tolerant to purple stain (Cercospora kikuchii), southern stem canker (Diaporthe phaseolorum), bacterial pustule (Xanthomonas campestris), and bacterial blight (Pseudomonas syringae). Susceptible to races 3 and 14 of soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines). Grows to a height of 1.8 meters under good growing conditions. The following were developed by B.B.

Semi-erect growth habit, with upright peduncles seed pods held over the canopy. Medium size (16 g 1 100 seed-1) white-cream color seeds with rough seed testa and dark brown seed eye. Combined resistance to several major diseases including cowpea aphid borne mosaic virus, brown blotch, (Collectotricum caprici), bacterial blight (Xanthamonas vignicola) as well as web blight (Rhizoctonia solani).
