| Abstract/Contents: | "In this study we used a factorial treatment arrangement of two tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) cultivars (`Arabia' and `Arid II') grown in turf plots in Ohio and Maryland for 0.7 and 1.7 yr, to compare the morphological characteristics of plants derived from turf plots with plants grown directly from seed. Our goal was to determine how mowing and turf maintenance skew a population of tall fescue plants. Plants were seeded in turf plots in 1996 and 1997 and grown until 1998, when they were sampled and transplanted into a spaced-planted nursery. Also in 1998, plants of identical size were grown using seed of the same original seed lots and planted alongside the plot-derived plants until reproductive maturity in 1999. Morphological data of mature, 1-year-old spaced plants were measured and compared. Two- and three-way interactions among the location, duration, and cultivar factors were significant. Mature plant height was altered -2.7 to 3.4%, flagleaf width -3.7 to 8.6%, flagleaf length -1.1 to 11.3%, panicle length -0.6 to 6.9%, panicle weight 5.3 to 24.3%, culm length -1.5 to 6.4%, and emergence from the boot from 1.2 to 12.4% earlier, by natural selection in turf plots. Over time, plants surviving in turf plots tended to become coarser textured, with lower seed yield components. This study showed that plant populations change and adapt to different turf environments, which may have implications to breeding, management, and intellectual property issues." |
