Abstract

‘NU-ARS AC2’ crested wheatgrass [Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn.–A. cristatum var. pectinatum (M. Bieb.) Tzvelev] (Reg. no. CV-28, PI 634507) is a broadly adapted, complex composite population produced by allowing selected plants from fairway-type germplasm accessions to randomly intermate. It originates from collections made by Douglas Dewey, USDA-ARS Plant Geneticist, in the former USSR in 1977. It was released in September 2002 by USDA-ARS; Agricultural Research Division, Institute of Agricultural and Natural Resources, University of Nebraska-Lincoln; and the USDA-NRCS. NU-ARS AC2 was tested under the experimental designation NE AC2.
