Resumen:
Eragrostis curvula is a perennial grass native to Southern Africa and widely distributed in semiarid regions of Argentina. Some cultivars are polyploids (from 4x to 8x) and reproduce by diplosporous apomixis, mode of reproduction strongly affected by ploidy. Diploids (2n = 2x = 20) are always sexual and very infrequent. Here we report the construction of floral transcriptome and miRNA databases for apomictic and sexual genotypes of this grass as important tools to study the complex nature of this intriguing reproductive mode.
