| Abstract/Contents: | Details an ongoing study conducted since 1982 to "(1) collect and evaluate potentially useful turfgrass germplasm and associated endophytes," "(2) continue population improvement programs to develop improved cool-season turfgrass cultivars and breeding synthetics," and "(3) develop and utilize advance technologies to makes current breeding programs more effective." Details methods and materials used during the study, noting that "more than 25,000 tall fescues, 8,000 Chewings fescues, 9,600 hard fescues, 70,000 perennial ryegrasses, and 10,000 bentgrasses were...screened during the winter in greenhouses." Reports that "fifteen new tall fescues, three fine fescues, five Kentucky bluegrasses, two bentgrasses, and three perennial ryegrasses were released in 2009." Concludes that "modified population backcrossing and continued cycles of phenotypic and genotypic selection combined with increasing sources of genetic diversity in turfgrass germplasm have resulted in the continued development and release of top performing varieties in the NTEP [National Turfgrass Evaluation Program]." |

| USGA Summary Points: | Continued progress was made in obtaining new sources of turfgrass germplasm. These sources are being used to enhance the Rutgers breeding program Modified population backcrossing and continued cycles of phenotypic and genotypic selection combined with increasing sources of genetic diversity in turfgrass germplasm have resulted in the continued development and release of top performing varieties in the NTEP Fifteen new tall fescues, three fine fescues, five Kentucky bluegrasses, two bentgrasses, and three perennial ryegrasses were released in 2009 'Capri' colonial bentgrass is an improved variety with better brown patch resistance, and 'Pinup' creeping bentgrass has improved dollar spot resistance Published or have in press more than 10 referred journal articles in 2009 |
