Abstract/Contents:"The development of seed-propagated bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] cultivars may be affected by incompatibility mechanisms active within the species. This paper illustrates cross and self compatibility among 12 clones in a greenhouse, wherein each clone was used as male and female parent to each of the remaining clones. Certain clones served better as male parent than female, and vice versa. Cross incompatibility between specific clones was evident. A clone with 16.9% self fertility was discovered. Many seed producers in the Yuma, Arizona, area believe that yields of Arizona common bermudagrass seed have been declining over the past 15 years. Several causes are suggested, including inbreeding depression and contamination of fields with triploid plants. Advances in the fertility, uniformity, and turf characteristics of bermudagrass cultivars can be expected in the future with breeding. Traditional population improvement methods can be employed if steps are taken to minimize inbreeding depression in breeding populations and in narrow base synthetic cultivars; this may be done by ensuring adequate numbers of plants in the former and limited generations of increase beyond breeder seed in the latter. Further, it may be desirable to seek exotic germplasm sources and utilize regulated seed increase practices in developing high seed yielding cultivars of bermudagrass."
