| Abstract/Contents: | "The goals of this project are to produce improved creeping bentgrass cultivars through a combination of genetic engineering and breeding. Our aim is to provide golf course managers with more effective and selective weed control with herbicides by developing herbicide-resistant cultivars. We are also attempting to produce cultivars with improved disease resistance and abiotic stress tolerance which can be maintained in a more environmentally sound and cost-effective manner. Through the Rutgers-Scotts-Monsanto paternship the development of a herbicide resistant commercial cultivar is actively underway. The 2000 field test of creeping bentgrass transformants expressing potential disease resistance genes was successful. Some transgenic lines expressing the bacterio-opsin gene or the PR5K gene had delays of 2-6 weeks in development of dollar spot symptoms. These results are encouraging regarding the potential of biotechnology to contribute to development of improved cultivars of creeping bentgrass. We have established a field test of transgenic plants expressing the barley HVA1 gene, a potential drougt and salinity tolerance gene. The plants will be evaluated during the summer of 2001 for drought resistance." |
