| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted during 2007 "[to] determine the genetic potential of native prairie junegrass (Koeleria macrantha) germplasm for use as low-input turfgrass." Identifies qualities of prairie junegrass that might make it useful in Minnesota: "tolerance of droughty and alkaline soils, tolerance of sandy areas, survival of low- and high-temperature extremes, and reduced growth rate." Details methods and materials used during the study, stating that researchers "collected native prairie junegrass germplasm from Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Colorado, and Nebraska." Reports that "nonnative germplasm generally exhibits superior turfgrass quality." Concludes that "integration of traits from diverse germplasm should be effective in the development of a low-input cultivar." |

| USGA Summary Points: | Nonnative germplasm generally exhibits superior turfgrass quality Native germplasm has shown greater seed production potential and resistance to severe stresses common in low-input environments Integration of traits from diverse germplasm should be effective in the development of a low-input cultivar |
