Table 1 Key to grass identification at Sourhope using trn L PCR-RFLP. Fragment sizes were determined using nucleotide sequence data of the trn L PCR product of each reference species. Restriction enzyme(s) are followed by the fragment sizes expected from digestion with the enzyme(s). GenBank accession numbers are provided in brackets following the species name.
