| Abstract/Contents: | "The Bentgrass Breeding Program at Texas A&M - Dallas was initiated in April 1985 as a joint effort between the United States Golf Association, Bentgrass Research, Inc., and the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station. The Germplasm Introduction Nursery presently contains over 375 unique vegetative accessions from around the world, an additional 270 advanced generation selections identified for superior heat tolerance and rooting characteristics, and 70 seeded accessions. Four limited clone Synthetic populations were generated in Oregon during the 1987 pollution season. An additional 77 polycross populations involving the very best of the bent germplasm collection produced sufficient seed for selection within the next generation. Significant differences existed between clones for root extension and root areas, which were used to conduct parent-progeny regression for root characters. Specific clones have been selected from 'Seaside' for improved turf quality, density, and color and have been placed in isolation for generation of the first generation of a 'Seaside II' cultivar. Additional crosses and polycross populations will be created in 1988 based on laboratory, greenhouse, and field data collected in Oregon and at TAES-Dallas. Laboratory and Greenhouse research screening procedures continues at TAES-Dallas with specific emphasis on rooting characteristics, and membrane stability (tissue tolerance to high temperatures). New facilities are being constructed in the fall of 1987 to create a Turfgrass Root Investigation Facility (TRIF) for examining root characteristics under field conditions. Field evaluation trials have been conducted on the 1985 green and on native soil (simulated Fairway conditions) since 1985. These field trails have provided necessary information concerning thatching tendency, mowing quality, color retention, density of stand etc., to assist in selecting plant materials for the Oregon Crossing Blocks." |
