Abstract
‘Coastcross II’ (CC II; Reg. no. CV-49, PI 673409) forage bermudagrass (Cynodon sp.) was released as an associate cultivar in Georgia in July 2014. Coastcross II originated from gamma-ray irradiation of sprigs of Coastcross I (CC I) in 1971. After irradiation, greater than a half million sprigs were planted in north Georgia (Blairsville), where CC II was one of four surviving plants after winter freezes. Subsequent testing has shown that CC II has superior yields to CC I and is comparable to ‘Tifton 85’. Coastcross II also has significantly higher tolerance to bermudagrass stem maggot than fine-stemmed cultivars. Coastcross II has significantly finer stems than Tifton 85, which makes it more conducive to hay production.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Plant Registrations is an official publication of the Crop Science Society of America and the premier international venue for plant breeders, geneticists, and genome biologists to publish research describing new and novel plant cultivars, germplasms, parental lines, genetic stocks, and genomic mapping populations. In addition to biomedical, nutritional, and agricultural scientists, the intended audience includes policy makers, humanitarian organizations, and all facets of food, feed, fiber, bioenergy, and shelter industries. The scope of articles includes (1) cultivar, germplasm, parental line, genetic stock, and mapping population registration manuscripts, (2) short manuscripts characterizing accessions held within Plant Germplasm Collection Systems, and (3) descriptions of plant genetic materials that have made a major impact on agricultural security. Registration of plant genetic resources, item (1) above, requires deposit of plant genetic material into the USDA ARS National Plant Germplasm System prior to publication.
