| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Enhance the expression (increase 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 conditions. 5. Evaluate transgenic creeping bentgrass clones for turf quality characteristics under field conditions. 6. Release transgenic creeping bentgrass germplasm with combined improvements in turf quality and pest and stress resistance to Pure Seed Testing, Inc., and/or other companies for use in their field testing and commercial breeding programs." States that "this research confirmed that glufosinate ammonia has fungicidal as well as herbicidal properties." Reports that a bentgrass resistant to Finale herbicide was developed. Also, "two transgenic bentgrasses with the elm chitinase disease showed a 3 to 5 fold increase in tolerance to Rhizoctonia solani." This three-year study began in 1998. |

| USGA Summary Points: | Developed herbicide (Finale) resistant strain of bentgrass. Confirmed fungicide efficacy of Finale used on herbicide-resistant bentgrass. Two transgenic bentgrasses with the elm chitinase gene showed a 3 to 5 fold increase in tolerance to Rhizoctonia solani. None of the transgenic lines were resistant to dollar spot. The mannitol dehydrogenase gene (mtlD) did not increase drought resistance in transgenic bentgrass. Plasmid with Act1 promoter and intron developed. |
