Abstract/Contents:"For several years Rutgers University has had formal ties with the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Kyrgyz Republic. Rutgers University has reciprocal germplasm exchange agreements with a number of prominent research institutions, including Tashkent State Agrarian University, The Uzbek Scientific Research Institution of Fruit growing, Viticulture and Winemaking named after the R. R. Shreder, the Uzbek Scientific Research Institute of Plant Industry (formerly The Vavilov Institute), The Uzbek Scientific Research Institute of Forestry, and the Kyrgyz Agrarian Academy, which comprise of five scientific institutes. The 2003 - 2005 joint turfgrass project between Rutgers University and Tashkent State Agrarian University was approved by both the Uzbek Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources and the USDA. Through this project, Rutgers scientists have successfully collected and obtained potentially valuable turfgrass germplasm from Central Asia. A successful strategy for the genetic improvement of North American turfgrass species has been in the introduction, evaluation, and incorporation of desirable traits from unique accessions around the world. Turfgrass breeders from both the U.S. and Central Asia continue to focus on collecting on potentially resistant to heat, drought, diseases and insects, as well as shade tolerant grasses, and grasses that appear productive on marginal, overgrazed lands. Until recently, turfgrass germplasm from Central Asian has been not well represented in U.S. collections. Through these efforts, Rutgers University currently possesses the largest and most diverse and unique collection of Central Asian turfgrass germplasm in the U.S. 182 accessions of turfgrass from Central Asia have been collected and sent to Rutgers University for evaluation, (Table 1). For the first time field trials of North American cultivars have been evaluated in Uzbekistan as part of the USDA grant supervised by Drs. Reed Funk and William Meyer. This is the first turfgrass breeding and evaluation program in Central Asia. The U.S. scientists provided seeds of turfgrass cultivars for these trials and also provided technical assistance in setting up the field plots for partners in Uzbekistan. The preliminary results have been published in International Agronomy Journal of Uzbekistan, and in Turfgrass Proceedings (2004)."
