Abstract/Contents: | Discusses seashore paspalum, the most salt-tolerant warm-season turfgrass species, and states that "genetically controlled variabliity for salt-tolerance among genotypes infers that it may be possible to further improve salt tolerance of this species through breeding and selection." Details a screening technique used "to evaluate salt tolerance of 15 genotypes in a replicated greenhouse experiment." Results include that "large genotypic differences were observed for all traits measured." Concludes that "breeding efforts will be focused on development of cultivars for use as fine turf as well as on the development of cultivars for use in forage production and stabilization of salt affected areas." |
