| Abstract/Contents: | "Zoysiagrass related informations including scientific publications and personal understandings in Korea are reviewed. Informations on distributions, classifications, breeding efforts and outputs, current production and uses in Korea are summarized to be presented to the 2015 International Zoysiagrass Symposium in Okinawa, Japan. As recent Korean economy grew rapidly, needs for improved zoysiagrass varieties increased. Collection of naturally growing zoysiagrass ecotypes has been continued, being followed by evaluation, selection and cross-pollination. Classification efforts using important morphological, biochemical traits and DNA polymorphisms resulted in the several suggestions of grouping zoysiagrass species and varieties. Zoysia japonica consistently form separate group, while Zoysia sinica and Zoysia macrostackya separately or inter-mixed. Z. matrella with some variations frequently grouped separately but with some similarity with Z. tenuifolia. Hybrid type of zoysiagrasses between Z. japonica and Z. sinica and/or macrostackya were frequently found in Korea. New varieties such as Kunhee and Green Ever etc. are bred by ecotype selections, while Senock, Semil, Millock are bred through pollination. Molecular approaches were also used to introduce beneficial genes into zoysiagrasses with no practical outputs by legal regulations. Currently popular varieties are inter-specific hybrid types such as Anyang and a few other medium-textured local zoysiagrasses as well as common zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica) Production area in Korea was estimated as 2,947 ha with increasing problems of mixed or contaminated species and varieties." |
