Knowledge of ploidy level and genome size in a germplasm collection is critical before studying genetic diversification of different environmental range in grasses and other plants. We assessed the geographic patterns in ploidy level and genome size of 216 individuals of Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. (common bermudagrass) by flow cytometry of accessions sampled from 16 geographic sites along a latitudinal gradient from 22°35′ N to 36°18′ N across China. Flow cytometry histograms combined with mitotic chromosome observations results show that tetraploids were the most frequent ploidy level, constituting 44.91% of all individuals. Nuclear DNA contents were 2.384, 2.419, 2.437, 2.873 and 3.288 pg/2C for the diploid, triploid, tetraploid, pentaploid and hexaploid, respectively. Higher proportions of polyploid individuals were observed within populations at the highest and lowest latitudes. In addition, monoploid genome size of C. dactylon progressively increased with increasing ploidy level. Temperature and precipitation had the influence on ploidy level for all the sites. The relationship between ploidy level and geographic distribution for C. dactylon will facilitate the utilization of this species for biological and genetic research.
