| Abstract/Contents: | "The breeding and genetics programs of the USDA ARS Forage and Range Research Laboratory include focus on cool-season grasses for pasture and turf production. The major objective of this program is the development of pasture grasses with high biomass production and nutritive value and turfgrasses with high turf quality that also possess high water-use efficiency and winter hardiness. Research efforts focus on evaluation of novel sources of germplasm, identification of genetic mechanisms controlling traits of interest, and development of elite breeding populations used for germplasm/cultivar release. Crop improvement is on-going in orchardgrass (cocksfoot) and timothy for pasture production and in Kentucky (meadow) bluegrass and rhizomatous wheatgrasses for turf production. Highlights of this research include the identification of potential heterotic groups for semi-hybrid orchardgrass development, the development of an EST library and linkage map for the autotetraploid orchardgrass genome, identification of Kentucky bluegrass accessions with salinity tolerance similar to that of tall fescue, and development of rhizomatous wheatgrass breeding lines with high turf quality and low irrigation requirements. Genetic objectives include elucidation of the role of water-soluble carbohydrate concentration on abiotic stress tolerance and identification of the genetic determinants of heading date. Research involves collaboration with public and private entities within North America and worldwide." |
