Abstract/Contents: | "The turf bermudagrass breeding and development program at Oklahoma State University (OSU) began in the mid-1980s with the goal of developing high quality bermudagrasses with improved cold hardiness for the golf turf industry. In its first two decades, the effort has resulted in: Release of two seeded and three vegetative bermudagrass with improved quality, cold hardiness, and overall performance for the golf turf industry. Development of an extensive collection of bermudagrass germplasm for further breeding work. Substantially improved breeding populations for a more regular and continuous flow of bermudagrass cultivar releases. Advancements in genetic characterization of the bermudagrass species. Increased understanding of fundamental and applied aspects of stress tolerance. Generation of an increasing flow of royalties to the USGA and OSU enabling further turfgrass improvement." |
