| 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 under green house 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 condiditons [conditions]. 6. Release transgenic creeping bentgrass germplasm with combined improvements in turf qualty and pest and stress resistance to Pure Seed Testing, Inc. and/or other sectors for use in their field testing and commercial breeding program." Reports that "our trangenic creeping bentgrass clone 711, transcribing the elm chitinase gene controlled by the cauliflower mosai virus 35S promoter, has improved resistance to R. solani under controlled environmental conditions." Also reports that the experiments "have not shown any drought tolerance in transgenic plants, nor have they shown acumulation of mannitol in transgenic plants." This three-year study began in 1998. |
