| Abstract/Contents: | "The turf bermudagrass breeding and genetics research program at Oklahoma State University was initiated in 1986 with initial objective to develop seed-propagated varieties of turf bermudagrass with improvements in cold hardiness and turf performance quality. A few years late, the program was expanded to include vegetatively propagated varieties. The programs milestones include: 'Guymon' bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) was released in 1982. 'Guymon' was the first seed-propagated bermudagrass variety which had greater cold hardiness and was persistent in more northern latitudes than the common bermudagrass produced in Arizona or California. 'Yukon' bermudagrass (C. dactylon) is a seed-propagated turf-type cultivar released by the Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station (OAES) in 1997. 'Yukon's exceptional winter hardiness makes it especially desirable and useful in the transition zone. 'Riviera' bermudagrass (C. dactylon) is a newer seedpropagated variety released in 2001 and represents a new level of breeding progress in the development of seed-propagated bermudagrass varieties. 'Patriot' bermudagrass is a vegetatively propagated F1 hybrid variety derived from a cross of 'Tifton 10', a common bermudagrass (C. dactylon) by an OSU African bermudagrass (C. transvaalensis) selection made in 1992. 'Patriot' was released by the OAES in 2002. Genetic variation and diversity of common bermudagrass are associated with their geographic origins. Recently, 114 indigenous Chinese bermudagrass (C. dactylon) germplasm accessions are being characterized for genetic diversity, ploidy, morphological and adaptive traits, and seed yield and related component traits." |
