Abstract excerpt
Kentucky bluegrass is an important cool-season turfgrass species. However, heat and drought tolerance is an issue. Interspecific hybridization with a related species, Texas bluegrass, is an approach used to improve heat and drought tolerance. We report herein a contig assembly and annotation of Texas bluegrass that was completed and used to measure the population structure of Texas bluegrass, interspecific lines...
