Monograph Title:Improvement of Poa annua and Poa supina for Golf Turf: [1987 Annual Progress Report], 1987.

Abstract/Contents:"The severe winter of 86-87 resulted in a powerful hardiness evaluation of space planted materials and the identification of superior selections. Advanced generation of some showed highly improved hardiness. Collections were received from California, Ohio, Wisconsin, Texas (via Oregon) and Sweden (via Canada). Materials collected in Turkey by Howard Kaerwer were forwarded through the USDA and have yet to be received. Poa supina was generally more cold hardy than Poa annua. The perennial Poa annua materials were consistently hardier than the annual types. Stolons of some selections survived more than 7 months in dark cold storage. Sibbing resulted in more seed than selfing or crossing in some genotypes. This has potentially strong implications on seed production strategies. Experiments with electrophoresis indicate there is a good possibility of identifying differences in genotype. This will be extremely important to the introduction and protection of any new variety in the future. Potted material is available for planting on golf courses and stolon material should be available next year. Papers dealing with stolon storage and self incompatibility will be presented at the ASHS and ASA meetings this fall."
