Lolium perenne L. (perennial ryegrass) is the principle forage grass species in temperate agriculture. Improving biomass yield still remains one of the most important aims of current forage breeding programmes. A quantitative trait locus (QTL) study investigating biomass yield traits in perennial ryegrass was carried out in greenhouse and field environments. The study is based on an F-2 population consisting of 360 individuals derived from two inbred grandparents where the F-1 has a large biomass yield phenotype. For both experimental environments co-localized QTL for biomass yield traits including fresh and dry weight and dry matter were identified on linkage groups 2, 3 and 7. A major QTL for fresh and dry weight was identified on LG 3 which explained around 30% of the phenotypic variance in the field experiment. The findings of this study are discussed with regard for their potential in research and breeding.
