| Abstract/Contents: | "This project seeks to improve creeping bentgrass through transformation to provide golf course managers with more effective and selective weed control with herbicides and more environmentally sound and cost-effective control of plant diseases with reduced use of fungicides. During the past year we have accomplished several major goals. As the first step in cultivar development of herbicide resistant creeping bentgrass, bialaphos-resistant progeny from crosses of original transformants and nontransformed plants have been planted in the field. These plants will be maintained as mowed spaced plants. Next spring and summer the Rutgers bentgrass breeder, Dr. William Meyer, can select those individuals with good overall turf qualities for incorporation into his breeding program. Progeny from crosses using new sources of nontransgenic plants are currently being screened for herbicide resistance and resistant plants will be placed in the field next spring. We have made improvements in the efficiency of transformation by particle gun bombardment and have obtained plants transformed with the bacterio-opsin gene. In other species, this gene has conferred good broad spectrum disease resistance. Next spring these plants will be field tested to evaluate the effect of the transgene. We have experiments in progress on other disease resistance and abiotic stress tolerance genes." |
