| Abstract/Contents: | "Celebration bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.) is widely established due its rapid growth rate and desired turfgrass quality. Celebration is a fertile, tetraploid (2n=4x=36), thus offering breeding potential to improve its leaf texture, seed head presence, and spring green-up. Mississippi State University (MSU) has developed widely established bermudagrasses; most notably MS-Choice. In addition to MS-Choice, the MSU germplasm includes other fertile tetraploid and C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy diploid (2n=2x=18) breeding lines. Crossing Celebration and MSU germplasm has the potential to generate progeny with superior characteristics compared to Celebration. Therefore, the objective of this research was to develop new bermudagrass genotypes with Celebration and MSU germplasm. Beginning in 2014, Celebration pollen was transferred to stigmas of MS-Choice that resulted five new experimental genotypes (MSB-1001 to MSB-1005). Then from 2015 to 2016, MSB-1001 to MSB-1005, Celebration, MS-Choice, nine MSU tetraploid breeding lines, and two MSU diploid breeding lines were then used to generate 64 additional experimental genotypes. All new experimental genotypes were evaluated and compared to Celebration in field-trials from 2016 to 2018. Two separate randomized complete block experiments evaluated visual establishment rate, turfgrass quality, seed head presence, leaf texture, and spring green-up. Crossing of Celebration and MSU germplasm resulted in bermudagrasses that had a faster establishment rate, greater turfgrass quality, fewer seed heads, finer leaf texture, and faster spring green-up compared to Celebration. Five to twenty experimental lines were then selected for further evaluation in low-input and athletic field scenarios." |
