| Abstract/Contents: | "The zoysiagrass breeding program has expanded its personnel base with the addition of Dr. Ikuko Yamamoto, Ph. D. (Pennsylvania State Univ., 1994) as an Assistant Research Scientist. Dr. Yamamoto is working closely with Drs. Colbaugh and Reinert in heritability of host-plant resistance to mechanisms. Her research employs both conventional and biotechnical approaches to genetic recombination, with additional collaborations with Dr. Andrew Patterson (Soil and Crop Science Dept., Texas A&M Univ., College Station, Texas). Additional germplasm has been introduced to the program from Japan and China. Several progeny populations of previous hybrids and recent introductions are under evaluation. Over the past several years, greater emphasis has been directed to salinity tolerance (initiated by Dr. Ken Marcum, now University of Arizona), shade tolerance (Ms. Sharon Morton, now Pott's Follow in Ph. D. program, Texas A&M Univ.), water-use requirements (Dr. Richard White, now Associate Professor, Texas A&M Univ.), and establishment technology (Dr. Bridget Ruemmele, now Assistant Professor, Univ. of Rhode Island). Five zoysiagrasses, DALZ8502 (Z. matrella: fine texture), DALZ8507 (Z. matrella: medium-fine texture), DALZ8512 (Z. japonica: medium-coarse texture), DALZ8514 (Z. japonica: medium-coarse texture), and DALZ9006 (Z. matrella: medium-fine texture) will be submitted for release in the fall 1995. Three of them are presently under foundation increase at TAES-Dallas to serve as planting stock for registered and/or certified production. High productivity is one of the superior characteristics of these new lines. In contrast to the "standard" cultivar 'Meyer,' which requires 12 to 24 months between crop cycles, DALZ8512 and DALZ8514 can be harvested two to three times every 24 months. DALZ8502 also produces two to three crops every 24 months at Dallas; however, this selection may not provide sufficient winter hardiness at northern locations. DALZ8507 and DALZ9006 produce a crop on a 9- to 12-month cycle. Among them, DALZ8507 has been ranked Number One in the National Trials since 1993 at 24 locations, evidently suggesting its superior characteristics as a turf, and excellent adaptability to the wide-range of environments." |
