| Abstract/Contents: | "The buffalograss breeding and genetics program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln began in 1984 with a goal to develop turf-type cultivars with the potential to conserve water and require reduced inputs of fertilizers, pesticides, and energy. In the past two decades, the buffalograss breeding program at UNL has been quite successful. Among its accomplishments are: The release of five vegetative and four seeded cultivars with improved turfgrass color, quality and performance. The training of 11 Ph.D. and 14 M.S. students in plant breeding, genetics, and molecular genetics. The return of more than $1 million in royalties to UNL and the USGA. The acquisition of an extensive germplasm collection that varies in ploidy levels, is diverse geographically, and has excellent turfgrass characteristics. The contribution to the fundamental understanding of buffalograss biology and genetics." |
