| Abstract/Contents: | "The morphology of secondary lateral shoots, the stolons, of nine perennial grass species and hybrids that exhibit a creeping growth habit were investigated. Short but apparent internodes, were found in some knots, or node clusters, on secondary lateral shoots of certain species and hybrids. Bermudagrass, zoysiagrass and St. Augustinegrass were found to have node clusters. Some nodes appeared joined, or the internodes between them were very short or unelongated. The number of nodes in each cluster varied among the species and hybrids. The zoysiagrasses had 3 nodes per cluster; while the bermudagrasses usually had 3, and ranged from 2 to rarely 4 or 5, nodes per cluster. A shoot originating from the third node of a cluster could never be seen on the two bermudagrasses and four zoysiagrasses, while a shoot did originate occassionally from the third node of Texas Common St. Augustinegrass. Adalayd seashore paspalum and the creeping bentgrasses did not possess node clusters. The shoot component lengths of bermudagrass stolons was observed in detail. The length of the leaf blade was little affected by the position of the node from which it originated, while the length of the leaf sheath generated from the last node of each cluster was usually longer than the leaf sheath from the first node. The leaves arising from the first and last nodes of each cluster were named distal leaf and proximal leaf, according to the position of the sheath. When the data were classified into distal and proximal leaves, the variation in length of the leaf sheath of every shoot was less than the variation in length of the leaf blade or elongated internodes." |
