Abstract

To evaluate the biological characteristics and turf performance of newly developed bermudagrass lines, a randomized block design was adopted to conduct a comparative trial on the phenological stages, morphological traits, regrowth capacity, and turf performance among ‘Xinnong No.1’ bermudagrass (control) and three new lines: C138, C22, and C63. The results indicated that: (1) compared with ‘Xinnong No.1’, which had a growth period of 168 days, line C138 exhibited a longer growth period (172 days), with earlier spring green-up and later autumn discoloration, thus extending its green period. In contrast, lines C22 and C63 showed shorter growth periods (157 and 164 days, respectively), characterized by later tillering and earlier discoloration. (2) Significant differences (P<0.05) were observed in 18 out of 20 morphological indicators measured, except 1000-grain weight and root depth. The traits showing variation included reproductive shoot height, plant height, leaf length and width, and leaf number. Line C138 was characterized by taller plants, more leaves, thicker stolons, and longer inflorescences. Line C63 presented shorter plants, shorter leaves, fewer stem nodes, and shorter inflorescences. Most traits of line C22 were intermediate between C138 and C63. (3) In terms of growth dynamics, the growth rate of C138 leaves (0.092 /d) was significantly higher than that of other strains, and the overall growth of C22 and C63 lagged behind. (4) The overall turf performance score ranged from 5.63 to 6.95. Line C138 achieved the highest score (6.95), demonstrating the fastest turf establishment and superior stress resistance, followed by ‘Xinnong No.1’ (6.54). The new lines C22 and C63 scored relatively lower, at 5.88 and 5.63, respectively. Analysis of dynamic growth revealed similar trends for C138 and ‘Xinnong No.1’, whereas C22 and C63 showed overall growth retardation. In conclusion, line C138 exhibited the best overall performance, with strong stress resistance, rapid turf establishment, and a long green period, making it suitable for urban landscaping. Line C22 showed moderate performance and favorable seed quality, indicating potential for seed production. Line C63 displayed a compact growth habit beneficial for reducing mowing requirements; however, its stress resistance and turf density need improvement.

\n Cold acclimation (CA) of `Midiron' and `Tifgreen' turf bermudagrasses (\n Cynodon dactylon\n L. Pers. ×\n C. transvaalensis\n Burtt-Davy) induced tolerance to lower freezing temperatures and altered protein synthesis in crowns. LT\n 50\n (lethal temperature for 50% of plants) values were lowered ≈5C after 4 weeks in controlled-environment chambers under CA [8/2C (day/night) cycles with a 10-hour photoperiod] vs. non-CA (28/24C) conditions. LT\n 50\n values for `Midiron' plants decreased from -6.5 to -11.3C after CA and from -3.6 to -8.5C for `Tifgreen'. Proteins synthesized by isolated crowns were radiolabeled in vivo for 16 hours with\n 35\n S\n -methionine and\n 35\n S\n -cysteine. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and fluorography revealed increased synthesis of several cold-regulated (COR) proteins in CA crowns of both cultivars. Synthesis of intermediate molecular weight (MW) (32 to 37 kDa) and low-MW (20 to 26 kDa) COR proteins was greater in `Midiron' than `Tifgreen' crowns.\n

狗牙根(Cynodon dactylon(L.) Pers)既是应用最广泛的暖季型草坪草,也是优质牧草。我国拥有丰富的狗牙根种质资源,分布遍及黄河流域以南的广大地区,但我国的狗牙根种质资源评价与改良工作水平还很低。通过对狗牙根种质资源的分布、生物学特征、抗逆性、遗传多样性及育种等方面的研究进展进行系统概括和归纳,简要评述了狗牙根种质资源研究中存在的问题并展望其应用前景,以期为狗牙根种质资源的开发利用提供基础资料。

对475份狗牙根种源的17个植物学特征进行研究。采用多种分析方法研究其形态多样性,为优良品种选育提供理论依据及参考。结果表明,1)不同种源形态性状具有广泛的变异性。狗牙根在高度(草层高度)、营养器官长度(叶片长度和节间长度)等方面变异较大;其次为生殖器官长(花序长);狗牙根在质地(叶宽)、节间直径及小穗数方面的变异较小;在穗枝数方面的变异幅度最小。2)不同种源形态性状间存在显著或极显著的相关性。狗牙根愈高,其叶片越宽大,匍匐枝越发达,花序愈长,穗枝数及小穗数愈多,叶毛也越多。3)欧氏距离21.50处可将475份狗牙根分为两大类群,即高大型和低矮型。
