| Abstract/Contents: | "Plant biotechnology has moved from a whole plant to a molecular manipulation of plant genomes. Recent biotechnology advances in the genetic modification of model plants have stimulated a great deal of interest among plant scientists. In turfgrasses, plantlet regeneration from callus has been reported in the majority of species. However, the efficiency of plantlet formation in many of these species is low and limits their use in biotechnology applications. Using tissue culture technology, desirable variants have been recovered from several turfgrasses. Although these variants are not yet incorporated into commercial cultivars, this new and potential germplasm source will surely improve the desirability of these species. The use of DNA transformation technology is new to most plants types. Plantlet formation from isolated protoplasts is a prerequisite for the use of developed vector systems for DNA transfer. Plantlet formation from protoplast has been reported in only two turfgrass species. Obstacles currently limiting the widespread use of this technology in turfgrasses is the inability of researchers to regenerate whole plants from protoplasts in major turfgrass species and the incompatibility of Agorbacterium as a vector system for DNA transfer in grasses. Overall, the low man-power input devoted to biotechnology for improving turfgrasses is the greatest limitation of this new technology." |
