Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Determine turf performance of seven elite CSU-USGA lines, seven elite University of Arizona lines, and seven Great Basin lines from the University of Arizona. 2. Determine the range of stress tolerance (drought, salinity) present in inland saltgrass. 3. Determine seed production of seven elite CSU-USGA lines. 4. Evaluate Kopec collection and Northern Great Plains collection. 5. Evaluate seed germination and seedling vigor of all crosses. 6. Evaluate RAPD as a means of identifying unique genotypes of saltgrass. 7. Determine the relative chromosome number of elite clones. 8. Study the viability and germination requirements of inland saltgrass seed. 9. Evaluate seed priming as a possible method by which germination can be improved." States that "the evaluation of the 190 clones in our germplasm nursery demonstrated that saltgrass is not a poor seed producer as indicated in the literature." Reports that "seed scarification increased seed germination," and that "flower production was high in 2000 during drought; better than buffalograss, blue grama, crested wheat, and bermudagrass." This five-year study began in 1998. |

USGA Summary Points: | Examination of 190 clones demonstrated that saltgrass is not a poor seed producer. Seed scarification increased seed germination. Flower production was high in 2000 during drought; better than buffalograss, blue grama, crested wheat, and bermudagrass. Great Basin and Utah lines winterkill in Colorado. Chromosome number 2n=4x=38 and 2n=4x=40, a few 2n=74. CSU-USGA lines had low density and turf quality, but seed fertility of seven elite lines was high. |
