Abstract
Disclosed is a new and distinct variety of Zoysia grass, named ‘Benest 1’, and a ‘Dongrae Koryogi’-specific STS marker. ‘Benest 1’ of the present invention is prepared by mating two zoysia grasses, ‘Anyang Chunggi’ with excellent resistance to disease and cold and ‘Dongrae Koryogi’ with good texture. The ‘Dongrae Koryogi‘-specific STS marker of the present invention is developed by adding extra bases to a ‘Dongrae Koryogi’-specific operon primer, OPD12 and the nucleoic acid sequence of a ‘Dongrae Koryogi’-specific DNA fragment obtained by PCR using the OPD12 primer, and is extremely useful for identification of cultivar of hybrid species of ‘Dongrae Koryogi’.
Claims3
A new grass cultivar named ‘Benest 1’, having leaf width of 2.9±0.1 mm, leaf length of 7.4±1.8 cm, stolon length of 44.8±3.3 cm, dark green leaf color, high density, and soft texture, produced by mating of ‘Anyang Chunggi’ and ‘Dongrae Koryogi’ zoysia grasses, and asexually propagating by broadcasting or planting a portion of said ‘Benest 1’ containing stolons or rhizomes.
A ‘Dongrae Koryogi’-specific DNA marker designated ‘D12-900’ (SEQ ID NO:
- 1) capable of identifying cultivars of hybrids of ‘Dongrae Koryogi’ zoysia grass, which is obtained from genomic DNA of ‘Dongrae Koryogi’ by PCR using an operon primer OPD12.
