Abstract: A novel herbicide-resistant switchgrass cultivar, designated PanIR, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of switchgrass cultivar PanIR, to the plants of switchgrass cultivar PanIR, and to methods for producing a switchgrass plant produced by crossing the cultivar PanIR with itself or another switchgrass variety. The invention relates to plant parts derived from switchgrass cultivar PanIR and to methods for producing other switchgrass cultivars, lines, or plant parts derived from switchgrass cultivar PanIR. The invention further relates to hybrid switchgrass seeds and plants produced by crossing the switchgrass cultivar PanIR with another switchgrass cultivar. It also further relates to other derivatives of the cultivar PanIR, methods of producing imazapic resistant switchgrass seeds and plants, and to producing commodity plant products.

Abstract: Miscanthus plant ‘MSU MFL1’ is a new and distinct variety of giant miscanthus, characterized by vigorous growth and its usefulness as an effective biomass grass that yields, on average, two to three times more tons per acre than switchgrass, the predominant biomass grass.

Abstract: A soil- and grass seed-less sod precursor containing a non-woven bio-cellulosic fiber mat and grass sprigs. The sod precursor can be used to produce a soil-free sod which is useful for manufacturing athletic fields, golf courses and lawns.
