| Abstract/Contents: | "The bentgrass project released 'Mariner' Creeping Bentgrass to the industry in 1996 with the variety being licensed to Pickseed West, Inc. which also handles CATO Creeping Bentgrass which was released in 1993. Mariner is a salt tolerant reselection from Seaside with improved turf quality. It is recognized as a specialized grass which will have considerable utility in areas where salinity is a problem. Three additional grasses are being prepared for release in early 1997. E. F. Burlingham holds an option on 'Century' aka Syn92-1, and on 'Imperial' aka Syn92-5. TMI and SCOTTS hold an option on 'Backspin' aka Syn92-2. The initial seed harvest from the Syn96 series was made in 1996 (planted in the fall of 1995) with great production expectations. Three individual lines have been created which further combine added disease resistance including total resistance to Dollar Spot along with improved genetic color, texture and density of stand. Preliminary indications suggest these will provide a substantial incremental improvement for biological adaptability to natural environmental conditions. The bentgrass breeding program has initiated a program for genetic improvement utilizing the concepts of biotechnology. Nodal explants have been generated of each of the parental lines of 'Crenshaw' all having excellent stability of phenotypes. In cooperation with Dr. Phil Colbaugh (Turfgrass Pathology) , the intent of the project will be to incorporate the gene(s) conditioning for Dollar Spot resistance directly into the parental clone(s) of 'Crenshaw' followed with minimal reselection to develop a Dollar Spot resistant variety with the excellent agronomic and biological characteristics of Crenshaw. Research is also being conducted in cooperation with Dr. Richard White, Texas A&M College Station on methodology and success of interseeding of the new bentgrasses into existing bentgrass greens. Preliminary results are very encouraging based on electrophoresis analysis of Penncross greens which have been interseeded with Crenshaw utilizing various cultural procedures. Future efforts will also examine other methods of mechanical and chemical treatments and timing and rates of interseeding." |
