| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Determine turf performance of 7 elite CSU-USGA lines [of inland saltgrass (Distichlis spicata)], 7 Great Basin lines (check lines from the University of Arizona). 2. Determining the range of stress tolerance (drought, salinity) present in inland saltgrass. 3. Determining seed production of 7 elite CSU-USGA lines. 4. Evaluate Kopec collections and Northern Great Plains collection. 5. Evaluation of seed germination and seedling vigor of all crosses. 6. Evaluate RAPD as a means of identifying unique genotypes of saltgrass. 7. Determine the relative chromosome number of elite clones. 8. Study the viability and germination requirements of inland saltgrass seed. 9. Evaluate seed priming as a possible method by which germination can be improved." Results reveal that "the 7 CSU-USGA clones showed the highest vigor while the other Colorado and Nebraska types tended to be short and dense. The Utah and Nevada types tended to have taller female racemes and the South Dakota types were intermediate." States that "chromosome counts and intercrossing among the various chromosome accessions continue," and that "the most common chromosome type (38) is geographically widespread in California, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado, and Nebraska." This five-year study began in 1998. |
