Abstract/Contents: | "The University of Georgia seashore paspalum breeding program began in 1993 with goals to develop new turf-type cultivars to meet the increasing demands of the golf industry for a high-quality turf that could perform on salt-affected sites and withstand irrigation with salt-laden irrigation water. This program is now well-positioned to further improve and expand the utility of this important turfgrass species. This USGA-supported program has: Amassed an impressive collection of seashore paspalum ecotypes from around the world. Conducted extensive research and developed researchbased management protocols to support the adoption of this new turf species. Developed a breeding system that allows for efficient use of this germplasm to generate new and useful genetic variation. Developed an effective screening protocol that allows for further improvements in salt tolerance. Developed a system to further confirm and improve disease resistance. Developed DNA fingerprinting methods to aid in identifying cultivars." |
