| Abstract/Contents: | "Scott Warnke is studying disease resistance in creeping bentgrass. Creeping bentgrass is the most important golf course turf in Northeastern North America. Diseases are the single biggest pest problem for creeping bentgrass and fungicide usage represents a large portion of the agrichemical budget on golf courses. Dollar spot, although relatively easy to control, occurs frequently throughout the growing season resulting in several fungicide applications each year. An improvement in natural levels of dollar spot resistance in creeping bentgrass could result in large cost savings for most golf courses. Current levels of natural resistance in creeping bentgrass are quite low. Our research seeks to identify clones of creeping bentgrass with good resistance to dollar spot and using biotechnology, determine the heritability of the resistance seen in these elite clones. An initial screen of available bentgrass germplasm showed that just a few clones had a high level of natural resistance to dollar spot (Table 1). Future research will focus on the gentics of the observed resistance, accomplished by crossing resistant clones with susceptible clones and studying the inheritance patterns in the offspring." |
