Panicum capillare (diploid switchgrass) in its native riparian habitat, Salmon River, Idaho. These genotypes bring well-behaved diploid genetics (and ultimately positional cloning) to analyses of biofuels, and to ecological genetics of a native species in natural and agricultural environments

       
  Brachypodium distachyon is a small genome, rapid cycling model grass species which is being sequenced at JGI. We are analyzing genetic variation in drought tolerance from populations collected across a moisture gradient in Spain. (Photo from JGI.)
