| Abstract/Contents: | "Presently there is no cold-tolerant, seed-propogated, fine-textured turf bermudagrass variety available for use in the northern half of the bermudagrass belt. The basic objective of research jointly sponsored by the United States Golf Association and the Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station is the development of such varieties. To-date, we have identified cold-tolerant bermudagrass plants with good fertility, incorporated them into breeding populations [germplasm pools], and completed two cycles of selection for increased basic fertility and growth characters. Significant response to selection has been documented. An additional cycle of selection will begin next spring. Significant progress was made in recent months in tissue culture research with bermudagrass. Plants have been regenerated from very young inflorescence explants, and work underway with other explant tissues, including anthers, appears promising. Regeneration of plants from anthers would provide opportunity for development of haploid plants [plants containing half the normal chromosome number] which have several potentially significant benefits to breeding. Preliminary research was initiated recently to characterize the self-incompatibility mechanism in bermudagrass. Bermudagrass plants typically are strongly self-incompatible, thus will not produce seed when self-pollinated. Although we know the mechanism exists, very little is known about how it works or about its genetic control. Development of a reliable laboratory technique for measuring cold tolerance in bermudagrass would be of immense value in screening plants for the bermudagrass breeding program. The necessary equipment has been obtained and Dr. Jeff Anderson, stress physiologist in the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, has initiated experiments to develop the procedures. Development of a laboratory procedure would enable cold hardiness determinations without relying on the occurrence of test winters." |
