Analysis of Several Morphological Traits and Their Associations with Digestibility in Bromus inermis Leyss.1

D.A. Sleper and P.N. Drolsom2

Several morphological traits were examined in smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.) Significant differences were found among genotypes for leaf length, leaf width, culm diameter, plant height, and plant color. General combining ability was significant at the 1% level for leaf width, culm diameter, and plant color. Specific combining ability was significant at the 5% level for leaf length and plant height.

Leaf width, culm diameter, and dark green color were associated positively, and plant height negatively, with acid-pepsin dry matter disappearance.

Key Words: Smooth bromegrass • General combining ability • Specific combining ability • Heritability • Acid-pepsin dry matter disappearance • Diallel

1 Research supported by the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706. Part of a dissertation submitted by the senior author toward the partial fulfillment of the Ph.D. degree.
