Breeding and genetic characterization of forage bermudagrass for the transition zone of the United States
(2020-05)Bermudagrass is a robust forage option for livestock producers as both a grazed and stockpiled herbage. Breeding efforts focused on improved cold tolerance have expanded the geographic range of bermudagrass into the ... -
Characterizing the cold hardiness and drought response of newly developed bermudagrass genotypes
(2020-07)Bermudagrasses are often subjected to various abiotic stresses affecting their aesthetic quality, and functionality. Abiotic stresses, such as drought, and freezing are some of the common detrimental factors for bermudagrass ... -
Development of Simple Sequence Repeat Markers, Fertility Study and Seed Yield Heritability Estimates in Bermudagrass
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)The objectives of this study were to: develop and characterize genomic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in C. transvaalensis from its four SSR libraries enriched with [CA]n, [GA]n, [AAG]n, and [AAT]n; study selfing and ... -
Functional genomics of cold tolerance in bermudagrass Cynodon dactylon L.
(2007-05)Scope and Method of Study: Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L pers.) is one of the most widely adapted warm-season grasses with its usage and geographic distribution limited by cold temperature. The goal of this research was ... -
Genetic and quantitative trait loci mapping in African bermudagrass and characterization of winter survivability and drought response in turf-type bermudagrass
(2020-12)African bermudagrass (Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt-Davy) is frequently used to cross with common bermudagrass (C. dactylon Pers.) in the creation of F1 hybrid cultivars that most widely used in the worldwide turf industry. ...
