Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a breeding program at Rutgers University involved in "working to improve the heat and drought tolerance of creeping bentgrass." Details the potential importance in heat and drought tolerance, and explains that quantitative trait loci is one method utilized in the breeding program. States that "identifying markers and using them to select for better and stronger plants is the basis of marker-assisted selection." Emphasizes that "'the ultimate goal of this project is to identify molecular markers and genes for heat and drought tolerance to develop new creeping bentgrass cultivars with improved heat and drought tolerance,'" and summarizes the plan Rutger's has set in place to achieve its goal. |
