Abstract

The use of the Hungarian energy grass cultivar, ‘Szarvasi-1’, as a renewable energy resource can be of high importance, but first its genetic variability should be clarified. The between-species RAPD analysis of four Agropyron and Elymus species and the ‘Szarvasi-1’ cultivar showed very different DNA-patterns. The ‘Szarvasi-1’ specimens used in this study can represent the whole cultivar. The RAPD analysis of three Hungarian Elymus populations confirmed the origin of ‘Szarvasi-1’ from Hortobágy. The possibility of ecological risks of gene escape can be estimated as low by our results.
