| Abstract/Contents: | "Susceptibility to heat stress limits use of bentgrass for high quality playing surfaces in the Southern and Central United States. In the fall of 1981, a group of individuals in the north Texas area interested in bentgrass established a fund-raising organization named Bentgrass Research, Inc., to support bentgrass research at TAES-Dallas. In October 1982, a 3600 square foot sand green was constructed by this group for research purposes. In April, 1984, the United States Golf Association, Bentgrass Research, Inc., and the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station joined in a concerted effort for the 'Breeding and Development of Bentgrass'. A limited collection of bentgrass germplasmn had been assembled at TAES-Dallas over the previous four years. Most notably were individual plants which had survived naturally under Southern climatic extremes, often in direct competition with other species such as bermudagrass. In total as of November 1985, over 200 vegetative accessions from two countries and five states, 129 seeded accessions from nine countries, and five commercial varieties were included in the collection. In the spring of 1985, a specialized greenhouse heat bench was utilized to select 196 clones with heat tolerance from a population of approximately 20,000 plants of 'Seaside' bentgrass. A root growth charaterization study was initiated in mid-summer 1985 to examine the inherent genetic variation within the germplasm pool and to identify unique rooting characters which may be associated with plants selected for heat tolerance from the heat bench. Twenty clones were randomly selected from the elite vegetative material and Seaside selections are included in this study." |
