‘ST-5’, a Shade-tolerant Turf Bermudagrass
‘ST-5’ turf bermudagrass is an interspecific [Cynodon transvaalensis Burt-Davy · C. dactylon (L.)] shade-tolerant triploid (2n = 3x = 27 chromosomes) hybrid cultivar released cooperatively by the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service. ‘ST-5’ was selected in 1993 from 27,700 hybrids made in 1...
متن کاملShade and Traffic Tolerance of Bermudagrass and Zoysiagrass
Shade and traffic can reduce turfgrass coverage and playability on both golf courses and sports fields. Five cultivars of bermudagrass and seven cultivars of zoysiagrass were planted in the summer of 2007 and maintained under typical golf course fairway and sports field conditions. Plots were shaded continuously beginning spring 2008 with a 50% light reducing fabric. A second study was implemen...
متن کاملMeasuring the impacts of adaptation strategies to drought stress: The case of drought tolerant maize varieties
This study measured the impacts of drought tolerant maize varieties (DTMVs) on productivity, welfare, and risk exposure using household and plot-level data from rural Nigeria. The study employed an endogenous switching regression approach to control for both observed and unobserved sources of heterogeneity between adopters and non-adopters. Our results showed that adoption of DTMVs increased ma...
متن کاملComparative Physiological and Transcriptional Analyses of Two Contrasting Drought Tolerant Alfalfa Varieties
Drought is one of major environmental determinants of plant growth and productivity. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a legume perennial forage crop native to the arid and semi-arid environment, which is an ideal candidate to study the biochemical and molecular mechanisms conferring drought resistance in plants. In this study, drought stress responses of two alfalfa varieties, Longdong and Algonqui...
متن کاملAnalysis of Natural Variation in Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) Reveals Physiological Responses Underlying Drought Tolerance
Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) is a widely used warm-season turfgrass and one of the most drought tolerant species. Dissecting the natural variation in drought tolerance and physiological responses will bring us powerful basis and novel insight for plant breeding. In the present study, we evaluated the natural variation of drought tolerance among nine bermudagrass varieties by measuring physio...
