| Abstract/Contents: | "Interspecific hybridization between creeping and colonial bentgrasses was investigated as a way of incorporating the inherent dollar spot resistance from colonial bentgrass into creeping bentgrass at Rutgers University. Results of the projects included: Controlled crosses in a greenhouse were done to determine the frequency of hybridization. Hybrids between creeping and colonial bentgrass were recovered at low frequencies. The hybrids were then put into crossing blocks in the field and checked for fertility. They were found to be fertile, both through the pollen and the egg. The hybrids were also evaluated for dollar spot resistance in field tests. Some of the hybrids exhibited excellent dollar spot resistance. These results indicate that interspecific hybridization may be a useful new approach to creeping bentgrass improvement." |
