Abstract/Contents: | "Shade induces turfgrass plants to undergo morphological and physiological changes leading to a decrease in their overall quality. Turf grown in shade exhibits increased stem elongation and becomes weakened thus vertical growth control is one of the major goals in managing high quality, healthy turf stand. The purpose of the study was to develop transgenic creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) plants with dwarfism and evaluate their performance under low light conditions. Through biolistic bombardment the Arabidopsis BAS1 gene was inserted into creeping bentgrass, with the CP4EPSPS gene as the selectable marker. To evaluate the effect of BSA1 gene overexpression, a greenhouse study was conducted at The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH. Based on the results from the preliminary study, two superior lines were chosen for detailed research. Turf was subjected to three light environments: full sun, canopy shade, and neutral shade, and examined for color, density, growth rate, canopy-level chlorophyll and sucrose levels. Low light increased vertical growth and erectness of both transgenic and control plants, however, overexpression of BAS1 gene induced dwarfism in transgenic creeping bentgrass by delaying vertical shoot growth and altering shoot architecture. BSA1 transformants did not exhibit superior quality under shaded conditions." |
