| Abstract/Contents: | "Perennial grasses will always be subjected to fluctuating multiple stresses. Traditional breeding programs can address specific environmental constraints and, as mechanisms governing stress response become better understood, these programs can focus on specific components of these mechanisms. Gene technology provides an enhancement strategy for these traditional breeding approaches. An increasing number of genes are being identified, sequenced, and cloned. Transformation and regeneration technology is available for implementation into turfgrass stress resistance programs. With the release of new 'biotech' turf cultivars in the twenty-first century, management strategies will have to be adjusted to maximize performance and persistence. Enhanced abiotic/edaphic stress tolerance in turf will provide: 1. Improvements in performance under environmental extremes; 2. Functional root systems that perform equally well in stressed and non-stressed environments; 3. Improved water use efficiency; 4. Improved nutrient uptake/utilization efficiency; 5. Better adapted cultivars for niche environments; 6. More high-quality and environmentally compatible turfgrasses under abiotic/edaphic stressed conditions." |
