Abstract/Contents: | Describes the advances in turfgrass breeding, stating that "dramatic progress has been made in the development of turf-type perennial ryegrass and tall fescues using many cycles of phenotypic and genotypic recurrent selection on a very limited germplasm base." Discusses research at Rutgers University to genetically improve Kentucky bluegrass, and states that "the discovery and development of useful endophytes compatible with Kentucky bluegrass and various bentgrass species is a high priority goal of the Rutgers turfgrass breeding program." |
