| Abstract/Contents: | "The bentgrass breeding program has completed its sixth year of funding by the USGA/GCSAA - Bentgrass Research, Inc. As a major milestone, and enclosed within this report are PETITIONS TO RELEASE for three creeping bentgrass varieties developed by Texas A&M and the United States Golf Association, The initial petition for release of Syn3-88 was filed 14 September, 1990, Syn4-88 was filed 4 October 1990, and Syn1-88 was filed 23 October 1990. Foundation seed production fields were established for Syn3-88 (10 acres) and Syn4-88 (12 acres) in September 1990. Foundation production of Syn1-88 will be planted in spring of 1991 (~10 acres). The anticipated production cycle will permit certified production fields of Syn3-88 and Syn4-88 to be established in 1991, with the first commercial production to be harvested and available to the industry by the fall of 1992. Syn1-88 production cycle will lag by 1 year with first commercial production available in 1993. Reselection, hybridization, and advanced screening programs rapidly advance with the production of 14 new polycross populations, and 24 single cross populations being produced in 1990. By count we presently have over 9000 individual plants established in the greenhouse for additional screening and evaluation. Specific emphasis over the next few years will be on the development of multiple character attributes into new varieties. Heritability work is being rapidly pursued for disease resistance mechanisms, drought and heat tolerance characters, and perennial root growth characters as effective screening procedures are being developed. The leaf-stem hydration work completed by Virginia Lehman suggests that a very strong relationship exists between leaf water content and heat tolerance. This procedure will be used extensively, along with the flexible tuve procedure, for screening root characters of bentgrass in the development of the next generation of superior varieties. Assessment of genotype performance continues in the greenhouse, field and laboratory, with screening of germplasm. Superior plants are being identified and recycled in the breeding program. Invaluable cooperation continues from Pickseed West, with Dr. Jerry Pepin and Mr. Doug King." |
