Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Quantify cold hardiness of advanced breeding lines, recently released varieties, and established standard varieties using laboratory-based methodology. 2. Isolate and characterize genes corresponding to low temperature-induced and antifreeze proteins by constructing and screening a representative genomic library from Midiron with both homologous and heterologous gene probes. 3. Characterize the low temperature induced expression of the cloned genes by Northern Blot Analysis. 4. Sequence the cloned genes and characterize gene structure and function based on nucleotide sequence data." Lists low temperature tolerance values for the eleven clonal bermudagrass varieties. Also reports that researchers "discovered bermudagrass chitinase genes and established their role in winter hardiness and resistance to spring dead spot, [and] developed a CynCht1 plasmid for conducting Agrobacterium transformation." This five-year study began in 1998. |

USGA Summary Points: | Established cold hardiness rankings for several commercial varieties. Discovered bermudagrass chitinase genes (CynCht1, CynCht2) and established their role in winter hardiness and resistance to spring dead spot. Developed a CynCht1 plasmid for conducting Agrobacterium transformation. Performing functional analysis on the products of low-temperature inducible CynCht1 gene. |
