Dundas tall wheatgrass is a synthetic cultivar derived from 50 parental genotypes selected from a spaced plant nursery containing 2000 plants of cv. Tyrrell and 400 each of the USA cvv. Largo and San Jose. The nursery was established under non-saline conditions at the Pastoral and Veterinary Institute (PVI), Hamilton, Victoria. Soil and climatic details of the site were provided by Smith et al. (1994). The nursery was sown in the autumn of 1990, with Tyrrell plants obtained through seed from five separate seed production paddocks in Victoria and southern New South Wales. This seed was obtained from the Agriculture Victoria seed testing station at Burnley. The spaced plant nursery at PVI was grazed periodically by sheep. Plants were assessed for seasonal productivity, leafiness, height, tiller density, anthesis date, crown area, disease resistance and stem digestibility over 3 years, 1990-93.
Dundas was developed as a leafy, productive alternative to the existing tall wheatgrass ecotype, cv. Tyrrell. Tyrrell is the only cultivar of tall wheatgrass available commercially in Australia (Oram 1990). Tyrrell developed through the processes of natural selection from seed sent to Australia from the USA in the mid-1950s (Rogers and Bailey 1963).
Subsequent to this, seed from this line was released commercially in the USA as cv. Largo. While Tyrrell was originally known in Australia as Largo, selection pressure had caused the development of 2 distinct lines (Lohmiller 1976, cited in Oram 1990). To avoid confusion the Australian line was renamed Tyrrell, after a salt-affected shire and salt lake in Victoria. Tyrrell has long been known to be amongst the most
salt-tolerant of pasture plants (Rogers and Bailey 1963) and is well adapted to environments in southern Australia. However, Tyrrell has the reputation for providing only low quality forage (Oram 1990), especially when mature (Warren and Casson 1992). In 1991, 15 plants with the desired leafy and productive phenotype were polycrossed. The half-sib progeny from this polycross where sown in both a saline and non-saline environment to monitor any effects of selection on establishment and productivity in both environments. The spaced plant nursery at Hamilton was evaluated for a further 2 years and 50 plants were selected in 1993. Genotypes
from all 5 sources of Tyrrell were included in the final set of 50 parental genotypes in an attempt to provide a cultivar which, while phenotypically uniform, was broadly adapted to the wide range of environments in which tall wheatgrass is grown. Tall wheatgrass is a decaploid with 2n = 70 chromosomes (Wang et al. 1991). Therefore, a cultivar based on 50 plants can be regarded as having a broad genetic base.
Dundas was recommended for registration by the Victorian Plant Varieties Committee in December 1998. Dundas has been registered for protection under Australian Plant Breeders Rights legislation (Anon. 1999).
Morphological description
The valid taxonomic name for cvv. Tyrrell and Dundas is Thinopyrum ponticum (Lui and Wang 1993). The 2 cultivars are morphologically similar; a full morphological description of Tyrrell was given by Oram (1990). The large variability both within and between certified seed lines of Tyrrell that enabled the selection of Dundas was detailed by Smith et al. (1994). Significant variation was found for each of the 9 agronomic and nutritive value traits measured. In general terms Dundas is a summer-active perennial grass with an erect growth habit reaching 1.5-2 m under favourable conditions at flowering.
On an individual plant basis, Dundas can be distinguished from Tyrrell by its shorter plant height and smaller number of reproductive tillers. Tyrrell and the parent genotypes of Dundas were 3-4 days later flowering than the cvv. Largo and San Jose at Hamilton (Smith et al. 1994). The parent plants of Dundas are more leafy and have more vigorous early season growth than Tyrrell.
Agronomic characteristics
Dundas was sown in four agronomic experiments in Victoria. Three of the experiments were in saline environments (Glenthompson, Kerang, Woorndoo) which were sown in 1996, the fourth was sown in spring 1995 at Hamilton on a basaltic clay prone to waterlogging. Four phalaris (Phalaris aquatica L.) cultivars (Sirosa, Australian, Uneta and Holdfast) and 2 tall fescue (Festuca arundicaea Schreb.) cultivars (Demeter and AU Triumph) were also sown at Hamilton. Dundas and Tyrrell were sown with equal densities of live seed at each site. Dundas established well at all 4 sites with seedling densities 11-26% greater than Tyrrell; the difference was greatest at Woorndoo and smallest at Kerang. At Hamilton, seedling densities of Dundas were equivalent to the phalaris cultivars but were significantly (P<0.05) lower than those of the tall fescue cultivars (P. Evans pers. comm.). At Woorndoo, the dry matter yield of Dundas in the establishment year, measured on 16 January 1997, was 43% higher than Tyrrell, 113% higher than Sirosa phalaris and 153% higher than Demeter tall fescue. All of these differences were significant (P<0.05). At Hamilton from August 1996 to mid January 1997, dry matter yields of the varieties were not significantly different from July-October 1996. Yield of Dundas was 49% greater than Tyrrell in November and 15% greater than Tyrrell in January. The total dry matter yield of Dundas in 1996 was 3 t/ha compared with 2.6 t/ha from Tyrrell, but this difference was not significant (P>0.05). While the dry matter digestibility of Dundas was consistently higher than Tyrrell in this trial, the differences were not significant. The total yield of digestible dry matter of Dundas was 29% greater than Tyrrell in 1996. The results indicate that the extra yield of Dundas has not been achieved through the production of coarse, stemmy material, which in tall wheatgrass has poor nutritive value compared to the leaves (Smith et al. 1994). The herbage yields of the tall wheatgrass cultivars at Kerang were low due to the high salinity at this site. In 1996 the dry matter yield of Dundas (0.7 t/ha) was significantly (P<0.05) greater than Sirosa phalaris (0.4 t/ha) in this environment. This was in contrast to the non-significant difference between Tyrrell tall wheatgrass and Sirosa phalaris. However, the 21% increase in dry matter yield of Dundas compared to Tyrrell was non-significant. Dundas is expected to be a suitable replacement for Tyrrell in both saline and non-saline environments in southern Australia and should play an important role as a productive, summer-active perennial pasture species in the reclamation of land affected by high watertables and salinity.

Origin (1,8,10,11,12)
A seed collection from Turkey in the early 1930s was introduced to the U.S.A. under the identification number PI 109452. It was tested in Utah, Arizona and other States under this number. In
1937 a selection made in New Mexico was released as A-1876. In 1950 this was renamed Largo and breeders' seed was sent to the Plant Introduction Station, Beltsville, Maryland (8).
Seed sent to Australia as Largo was assigned the number W296 and included in tests by Rogers and Bailey (11) in Western Australia from 1954 to 1959. Reports of this and later work (1), and
subsequent comparative tests indicate that selection pressure had changed the genetic constitution of the line in Western Australia.
The selected line was referred to by Rogers and Bailey as the best adapted and was tested by the Soil Conservation Authority of Victoria from 1961 (12). In 1966 c 2.5kg of seed of the best line
derived from W296 was supplied to the Soil Conservation Authority of Victoria by Bailey of CSIRO in Western Australia for the purpose of establishing seed production areas. The seed was sown at two
sites of equal area near Alexandra, Vic. In 1966 all the plants from one site were transplanted to a site adjacent to the other stand to form a consolidated block of 0.6ha. This block produced basic seed until
1979. At the time seed was supplied to Victoria, a sample was also returned to the U.S. Plant Introduction Station, where it was assigned the number PI 368851 to distinguish it from PI 109452. This was done
because of the chance of a genetic shift having occurred because of selection pressure (10). In a subsequent comparison of PI 368851 and authentic Largo carried out at Bridger Plant Materials Centre,
U.S.A., it was found that the two lines were agronomically different (10). The name Tyrrell is taken from the salt lake and the parish of that name located in north-western
Victoria. The parish of Tyrrell includes areas of salt affected land typical of areas for which this cultivar will be recommended.
Breeders' seed has been obtained by up-grading basic seed harvested in January 1979 from the original stand at Alexandra. Breeders' seed will be maintained by the Victorian Department of
Agriculture. Recommended for registration by the Victorian Herbage Plant Liaison Committee. Registered September 1981.
Morphological description (2,3,7,8,9,13)
The species is described (2,9) as a rather coarse, densely caespitose or tufted, and tussocky perennial; culms erect, stout, hard and glabrous to 1m tall or more; rootstock thickened but not
rhizomatous. Leaves grayish green or glaucous, involute, rather harsh and stiff, thick veined, scabrous or glabrous on upper surface (but much softer if kept closely grazed); ligule scarious. Inflorescence a
simple erect spike 10-30cm long; lower internodes of rachis 1.5 - 3.0cm long, upper ones shorter and all internodes flat or nearly so on the side facing the spikelet.
Spikelets solitary, sessile, large, 1.4 - 2.5cm long, remote, 5-9 (-11) flowered, more or less compressed with flattened side toward the rachis, appressed before flowering, and divaricate at
anthesis. Glumes almost equal, oblong, obtuse, subtruncate, 7 - 11mm long to 2.5 - 3.0mm broad, 5 - 7(-9)-nerved, indurate, smooth and shorter than lowest floret. Lemmas broadly lanceolate, 1.0 - 2.0cm
long, 5-nerved and with a shallow transverse furrow and a small naked callus at base. The rachilla disarticulates above the glumes and between the lemmas. Palea slightly shorter than the lemma. The
lemma and palea adhere tightly to enclose the caryopsis, which is linear oblong with a deep groove on the inner side, and has a filiform hilum as long as the grain (9). Approximately 132 - 154,000 seeds/kg.
Chromosome number 2n = 14 (12). Obsevations by Cade (3) of the Tyrrell cultivar growing in fertile conditions near Alexandra, Vic., indicate that it varies from the species norm in the following characteristics. Aproportion of leaves are pubescent on one or both surfaces, mainly on the lower half of the blade. Occasionally the pubescence extends the whole length of the blade and down the sheath as well. The spike can be up to 50cm in
length with the lowest internode of the rachis ranging up to 5.5cm. The lower internodes of the rachis are deeply recessed on the side facing the spikelets but become progressively shallower until they
become flat or nearly so towards the tip. The glumes of Tyrrell tend to be narrower with 85% ranging in width from 1.5 - 2.0mm. Also present is a pronounced auricle (3). There are c. 190,000 seeds/kg
(5).
Agronomic characters (4,6,7,8,9,12,14)
Thinopyrum ponticum is well adapted to poorly drained and saline or alkaline soils. On non-saline soils in a Mediterranean climate Tyrrell grows satisfactorily only in spring and autumn and does not
yield as well as phalaris. It is later maturing and more productive in areas with moist summers and autumn. It is dormant in winter. It germinates well but is rather slow in early development. Once
established it persists well. It is cross fertile and gives good seed yields, although mature spikes shatter easily. It is only moderately palatable. Its main virtue is its high salt tolerance and its ability to grow and persist on highly alkaline soils and salt-seepage areas. Roger and Bailey (11) report that it is best suited to the marginal areas of salt patches, which still carry some vegetative cover, where it can be established under a cover of barley grass; Menemen puccinellia is better for sowing on the badly salted and bare areas and hence complements tall wheatgrass. Zallar and Mitchell (14) report that, although Thinopyrum yielded
moderately well in 'wet pan' situations, its principal merit lies in its higher production and persistence under 'hard pan' conditions, i.e conditions in which the salted areas are typically wet in winter but dry
out rapidly and form a hard impermeable crust in summer.
