| Abstract/Contents: | "Research Progress: Currently we have accomplished a 3-fold increase in basic fertility for a bermudagrass breeding population while making improvements in texture.; Progress was made developing reliable and rapid screening methods for cold tolerance. These methods allow for laboratory and greenhouse testing of genotypes, without field test winters.; Successful tissue culture regeneration of plants from immature inflorescences was achieved. This is an important first step in developing haploid plants, and subsequent homozygous lines for production of uniform F1 hybrid progeny.; Several genotypes are currently being screened in replicated turfgrass variety trials. Texture and turf quality are approaching that of 'Midiron' and U-3. Rate of coverage from vegetative material for these genotypes was superior to 'Tifgreen', 'Tifway', and 'Midiron'.; Several plants from the breeding populations were identified as potential parents for use in synthesizing new seeded varieties. Seed from these crosses will be evaluated this year in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and increased for evaluation next year by outside cooperators.; A total of 2,500 new F1 progeny were established in field nurseries for evaluation of basic fertility and growth habit.; Approximately 100 plants were selected for preliminary cold hardiness testing this winter, and for inclusion in replicated turf trials spring, 1988." |
