Abstract/Contents:"Today the definition of a turfgrass variety in the United States is primarily determined by the provisions of the United States Plant Variety Protection Act as amended in 1994. This Act requires that an applicant variety be new, stable, uniform and distinct. The interpretation of how these criteria are applied to turfgrass species requires an understanding of the population structure of cross-pollinated, self-incompatible species. Typically, many forms of mass or rercurrent selection are used to develop these species and they are released as cross-pollinated populations or synthetic cultivars. DNA evidence may be useful in determining conformity for varieties derived from other varieties, but this evidence is not currently accepted for determining distinctness. Historically, performance criteria were used as goals of breeding programs, and are still utilised by public breeders."
