| 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. The effectiveness of genetically engineered herbicide resistance in creeping bentgrass has been demonstrated in multiple field tests. This trait is now ready to be incorporated into a commercial cultivar. We currently have a total of fifty independent transgenic lines of creeping bentgrass expressing one of five potential disease resistance genes. We have established randomized replicated field trials of these plants which will be evaluated in the summer of 1999. We also have transgenic plants from bombardments with HVA1, a potential drought and salinity tolerance gene. Plants found to be expressing HVA1 will be screened for effectiveness of the gene." |
