USGA Summary Points: | Twenty-eight cool-season turfgrasses were released. Turfgrass and endophyte collections were made in Portugal, Kyrgyzstan, Uzebekistan, and USA Extensive breeding programs are in progress to develop perennial ryegrasses with genetic resistance to gray leaf spot. An endophyte was discovered to enhance red thread resistance in fine fescue. Somoclonal variation is being investigated as a genetic improvement technique in apomictic bluegrasses. |
