| Abstract/Contents: | "Increased use of brackish water and secondary water sources such as sewage effluent for turfgrass irrigation has resulted in an increased need for salinity tolerant turfgrasses. Eight species of the subfamily Chloridoideae, including important C₄ turfgrasses and alternative species, were examined for salinity tolerance and associated root growth parameters. Salinity tolerance declined in the order Distichlis spicata var. stricta (saltgrass)> Sporobolus airoides (alkali sacaton)> Cynodon dactylon = Zoysia japonica > Sporobolus cryptandrus (sand dropseed)> Bouteloua curtipendula (sideoats grama) = Bouteloua eriopoda (black grama) = Buchloë dactyloides. Salinity stress up to 500mM NaCl progressively stimulated rooting, relative to control, in the most salinity tolerant grasses (S. airoides, D. spicata, C. dactylon, and Z. japonica). The relative rooting parameters (change in rooting relative to control plants) root length and root dry weight were more highly correlated with salinity tolerance than were absolute root length and dry weight. All rooting parameters were highly correlated with one another, and would be highly effective in predicting relative salinity tolerance for breeding purposes." |
