Abstract/Contents: | Describes the initial broad objective of the turf bermudagrass breeding program, initiated at Okalahoma State University in 1986, which was to develop fine-textured, winter-hardy, seed-propagated varieties for the U. S. transition zone. By 1990, this program expanded to include the development of superior vegetatively-propagated varieties. Over the past five years, selections of Cynodon transvaalensis have provided valuable germplasm to use both in intraspecific and inter-specific breeding. Those crossed from interspecific breeding show good turf quality characteristics. These plants are being further evaluated and planted in an isolated polycross. This resultant population will be used for future release, since the C. transvaalensis gerplasm base in collections in the USA and worldwide is very small. |
