| Abstract/Contents: | "Poa annua exists in a very wide range of environments and there is a wealth of genetic variability in the species. Opportunist plants from low density environments characteristically put most of their resources into reproduction. They have a short development time to heading, high seed output, little vegetative growth and a short life. They are the unattractive annual weed plants which invade open turf. Pasture plants from high density environments are at least biennial and under certain conditions may act as true perennials. Characteristically they put their resources into vegetative growth and appear to be potentially very useful to the amenity grass breeder. They should provide a sound basis for further breeding work which should aim to overcome inherent problems such as high disease susceptibility and low tolerance of high acid, low nutrient and low moisture conditions. P. annua is self-compatible and appears generally to self-pollinate in nature. This simplifies the breeding techniques that can be used. Problems associated with seed production are likely to occur. It is probable that these will be overcome as further information is obtained on varying plant response to management conditions, e.g. plant density." |
