USGA Summary Points:Participated in the development of eighteen cool-season turfgrasses. Turfgrass and endophyte collections were made in Portugal, Sweden, Austria, Germany, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and United States. Somoclonal variation can be used as a breeding method to improve Kentucky bluegrass. Substantial progress is being made in developing perennial ryegrass varieties with significantly improved genetic resistance to gray leaf spot. Good progress was made in developing superior varieties from hybridization of Texas bluegrass and Kentucky bluegrass.
