| Abstract/Contents: | "1984 Grant - $11,600 (started July, 1984) This project has already shown signs of real breakthroughs and progress! A high degree of "selfing" in Poa annua has been found and no apomixis observed, i.e., the development of a plant without the union of sexual cells. In the flowering of Poa annua, the female stigma develops and appears before the male stamens, an important consideration for the plant breeder. Two techniques of plant breeding are being followed. The standard one is utilization of known crossings, back crossing and line breeding techniques. The second involves tissue culture techniques and the results to-date are substantial and impressive. Several replicated lab tests of cloned plants have already been made. The odds seem better than 50/50 that superior Poa annua cultivars will be obtained from this project. A nationwide collection of promising Poa annua selections will be made with the assistance of the Green Section staff. After the selections are accumulatd, breeding and development of improved varieties will intensify. A study of genetic characteristics represents Dr. White's long term goal in this project." |
