| Abstract/Contents: | "Rutgers University scientists continue to investigate the genetic control of heat tolerance of bentgrass. They compared thermal Agrostis scabra collected in high-temperature sites near thermal vents in Yellowstone National Park with heat-tolerant and heat-sensitive cultivars of creeping bentgrass. Results of their studies include: Differential display and suppression subtraction hybridization analysis identified some important genes associated with heat tolerance from thermal A. scabra. Heat-responsive genes identified in these studies mainly control protein metabolism, carbon metabolism, stress defenses and signaling, and cell wall synthesis. The largest group of heat-responsive genes is involved in stress defense, which is followed by the group of genes related to carbon and energy metabolism, and protein synthesis and degradation. The expression in one of the heat-responsive genes, expansin, was confirmed to be positively related to heat tolerance in creeping bentgrass. PCR-based SSR markers are being developed from heat-responsive genes, which could be used in markerassisted selection of heat-tolerant bentgrass and other cool-season turfgrass species." |
