Abstract/Contents: | "Poa annua, or annual bluegrass, displays a variety of morphologies ranging from one of agriculture's most noxious weeds to a highly valued putting surfaces in the golf industry. Despite the USA's $800 million turfgrass seed and $1.1 billion sod industries, there are currently no commercially available varieties of P. annua. In this study, we use epigenetic and phenotypic assays to study the influence of transgenerational inheritance of epigenetic marks on plant adaptability. Fitting with its remarkable versatility and unwillingness to produce valuable seed through traditional breeding, our preliminary experiments suggest that P. annua can pass memory of environmental conditions to its offspring via epigenetic mechanisms. The products of this work will provide breeders and turfgrass managers the foundational knowledge to help guide production and management of stable Poa annua for commercial use." |
