Breeding Cool‐Season Turfgrass Cultivars for Stress Tolerance and Sustainability in a Changing Environment

Abstract: Growth and sustainability of cool‐season turfgrass species has the potential to be negatively impacted by future climate change; therefore, it will be necessary to breed turfgrass cultivars that have improved abiotic and biotic stress tolerance compared with cultivars that are currently available. This will require the use of techniques that can efficiently and effectively identify novel germplasm for incorporation into a breeding program. Over the past decade, advances have been made in the methodologies used… Show more

“…If the species is to be implemented on roadsides, further assessment and improvement of its tolerance to salt and its overall ability to persist in the presence of other stresses, such as heat and ice cover, will be needed. These challenges continue to be addressed using a combination of screening for individual roadside stress tolerances (Breuillin‐Sessoms & Watkins, 2020) and targeted breeding programs (Koch, Meyer, & Bonos, 2015; Meyer, Hoffman, & Bonos, 2017). Furthermore, insight into the succession of grass species on roadsides will play a key role in understanding the limitations of perennial ryegrass in mixtures, which may be restricted to early germination of a short‐lived cultivar for erosion control (Boeker, 1970).…”

“…Because of this reason use of salttolerant cultivars offers a useful approach for increasing turfgrass performance. The first step in the program of identification and screening for salinity tolerance in turfgrass species and cultivars are a conduct a germination examination [15]. Literature suggests that in the seedling stage varieties of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), slender creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L. ssp.…”

“…T he use of drought-tolerant plants can reduce water consumption in the turfgrass industry (Fry and Huang, 2004). Breeding of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera), a golf course putting green species, has focused on biotic disease resistance, but has not focused much on abiotic stresses of creeping bentgrass such as drought stress (Meyer et al, 2017). Creeping bentgrass cultivars are synthetic because the species is highly outcrossingmeaning, there can be genetic variation within seeded cultivars (Warnke, 2003).…”
