Beckmannia syzigachne, the American sloughgrass,[2][3] or slough grass, is an annual or short-lived perennial bunchgrass in the grass family, Poaceae, found in shallow marshes or sloughs.[4]
Beckmannia syzigachne is widespread across much of Europe, Asia, and North America.[4][5][6]
Beckmannia syzigachne is one of only two species in the genus Beckmannia; the other being Beckmannia eruciformis.[7]
Genomics
A chromosome-level genome assembly of Beckmannia syzigachne was published in 2026. The genome size is approximately 3.19 Gb, with 90.3% of the assembly anchored to 7 chromosomes. The assembly has a BUSCO completeness of 97.1%, and 36,944 protein-coding genes were predicted.[8]
