Genetic Variation and New Cultivar Development in Bermudagrass

摘要：

Cytwdon L. C. Lich. Is a small grass genus, but contains the most important, warm -season, perennial germplasm for forage and turf cultivar development. Among the eight Cynodon species in the widely adopted taxonomy system revised by Harlan and colleagues, C. Dactybn (L.) Pers. And C. Nkmfuensis Vanderyst are probably the major gene contributors for breeding forage bermudagrass cultivars, while C. Dactybn and C. Transvaalensis Bum -Davy are the most important for the development of turf cultivars. Molecular genetic diversity is enormous for C. Dactylon and substantial for C. Transvaalensis, but little is known in C. Nlemjuensis. Protocols for breeding bermudagrass cultivars have been well established and continue to be used in the new cultivar development. The bermudagrass breeding program at Oklahoma State University has developed and released numerous superior turf and forage cultivars. Recent progress at the OSU program will be updated.
