Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Assemble and evaluate Cynodon germplasm accessions for important descriptors. 2. Incorporate descriptor information and accessions into the National Plant Germplasm System. 3. Maintain a working collection of germplasm accessions with breeding value and utilize it in turf bermudagrass breeding program. 4. Improve bermudagrass breeding populations for seed production potential, cold tolerance, and other traits conditioning turf performance. 5. Identify bermudagrass parental plants with superior combining ability for use in producing inter- and intra-specific F1 hybrids." Reports that "two new cultivars, OKS 91-11 and OKS 95-1, have resulted from the cumulative breeding effort." Also states that "about 1200 new F1 interspecific hybrid plants were established in screening nurseries in spring, 2000. The interspecific hybrid OKC 18-4, with good performance to date in the 1997 NTEP bermudagrass trial, is a candidate for release as a commercial variety." This five-year study began in 1998. |

USGA Summary Points: | The breeding programs has reached the threshold point where new incrementally improved varieties can be systematically developed. Recurrent selection for turf performance traits continues and has had a positive impact on turf quality and seed production. Two new cultivars, OKS 91-11 and OKS 95-1, have resulted from the breeding program. Intra- and inter-specific crosses were made to generate F1 progeny populations. The interspecific hybrid OKC 18-4 is a possible candidate for release. Six new experimental synthetic varieties will be tested in 2001. |
