Furthermore, DNA content tests indicated a narrow range in ploidy in wild populations compared with lawn cultivars, further supporting a hypothesis of divergence between wild and pedigree cultivars. When we compared the wild individuals to pedigree cultivars, we found virtually no genetic overlap across all tests, which did not support our hypothesis of developed cultivars contributing to high genetic diversity in natural populations. Using clonal assignment, we found two major clones that made up the majority of the tested wild populations. Mantel tests of geographical patterns were not significant. Across all tested wild populations, high levels of genetic diversity were detected along with moderate levels of structure. The log R ratios were scaled by a factor of 100 and stored as an integer. lrr: Each element in the lrr list is a matrix of log R ratios (one matrix for each chromosome). baf: Each element in the baf list is a matrix of B allele frequencies (one matrix for each chromosome). Pairwise FST-values as calculated by STACKS (above the diagonal) and GENODIVE. TODO: A description of how these values are calculated. We tested for evidence of geographical differentiation using flow cytometry and microsatellite markers to ascertain the population genetics of Kentucky bluegrass. Average values across loci are presented for major allele frequency (P). We sought to answer how naturalized Kentucky bluegrass in the northern Great Plains has become successful in the last 20 yr despite its long history in the northern Great Plains. The study of colonizing and of dominant grass species is essential for prairie conservation efforts.
