| Abstract/Contents: | "Narrow sense heritability is of importance because it estimates how much of a trait visually present in parents will be passed onto its progeny. Much variability exists for height in saltgrass collections, but heritability estimates are unavailable to estimate success in the start of a breeding program for short height. This is part of a larger study of inheritances of turf traits in saltgrass. Progress to date includes: 100 random vegetative collections were made from Cheyenne to Denver. Heritabilities were very high for estimates. Half-sib family estimates agreed with parent-offspring estimates. Family ranks of best linear unbiased predictions (BLUPs) changed from a dry year to wet year, indicating at least one family was not stable for height. Heritability estimates indicated that the prospect for a short saltgrass varieties is very good." |
