New genes for 'sustainability' traits are being incorporated into ryegrass (Lolium sp.) breeding populations using marker-assisted intra- and inter- specific introgession from a wide range of genetic resources. Mapping families, substitution and introgression lines have been produced to facilitate gene transfer between Festuca and Lolium species. Advanced metabolomic phenotyping techniques (e.g. NIRS and FT-IR) can help close genotype-phenotype gaps to increase the environmental sustainability of grassland and improve the nutritional value of genotypes for forage or their chemical suitability for biofermentation/biofuel.
