- Observation Switchgrass hosts were locally adapted to environmental conditions in the same regions.
- Observation Switchgrass rust resistance was polygenic.
- Association Different genetic loci were associated with rust severity in the north and south.
- Observation A large effect rust severity QTL was narrowed to a candidate YELLOW STRIPE-LIKE gene.
- Association Numerous other loci were linked to defense related genes.
