Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Enhance the expression (increase the level of pest resistance) of the American elm chitinase gene in creeping bentgrass. 2. Transfer two drought-resistance genes controlled by either a constitutive or an ABA-inducible promoter into creeping bentgrass. 3. Determine disease resistance of transgenic plants expressing different levels of the chitinase gene and transgenic plants containing single- versus multiple-inserted genes grown under greenhouse and field conditions. 4. Determine environmental stress resistance of transgenic plants containing single- versus multiple-inserted genes grown under greenhouse and field condiditions [conditions]. 5. Evaluate transgenic creeping bentgrass clones for turf quality characteristics under field conditions. 6. Release transgenic creeping bentgrass germplasm with combined improvemnts in turf quality and pest and stress resistance to Pure Seed Testing, Inc. and/or other sectors for use in their field testing and commercial breeding program." This three-year study will begin in 1998. |
