"FRIO"; T-704; T-409704. CV-239. Pedigree - Selected from anoff-type plant growing in a row of open-pollinated progeny of PI 409704.PI 409704 is a facultative apomict that reproduces primarily byapomixis. This off-type plant also is a facultative apomict; however,essentially all of the progeny are uniform and identical to the maternalparent. Therefore, is a true breeding apomictic cv. that resulted from arare sexual event in PI 409704. Leafy bunch grass that producesinflorescences from about 120 to 140 cm high and the upper most leavesgrow to a height of about 95 to 120 cm. The inflorescence is a dense,cylindrical, erect panicle, usually from 9 to 13 cm long. Theinflorescence is composed of numerous clusters of spikelets with eachfascicle surrounded by an involucre of bristles. Involucres have one tothree spikelets but usually only one or two. The circumference of mostof the inflorescences are larger than those of the cv. Commonbuffelgrass and at maturity the inflorescences have a light tan colorrather than the typical light purple color that is characteristic ofmost buffelgrasses. Most important characteristic is more winterhardiness than any commercially available buffelgrass cv. Produces alimited number of short rhizomes, but the resistance to coldtemperatures is associated with tissue tolerance rather than the shortrhizomes. A pentaploid with 45 chromosomes which is unique forbuffelgrass because most, if not all, other cvs. have 36 chromosomes. Afacultative apomict with a very low level of sexual reproduction. Lessthan 0.1% of progeny are off-type plants.The following were developed by James S. Beaver, University of Puerto Rico,Mayaguez Camp, Department of Agronomy & Soils, P. O.

TioCanela 75 is a small red bean cv. resistant to bean golden yellow mosaicvirus (BGYMV) released in Honduras in 1996. DICTA 105 is a pod weevel(Trichapion godmani) resistant small red breeding line. Well-adaptedhighly productive cv. with high resistance to BGYMV and good heat15
