Abstract: The present invention is directed toward Kentucky bluegrass varieties containing mutant allele BARHGTMA1 that exhibit resistance to diseases, pests and traffic. Specifically, the Kentucky bluegrass variety of the present invention, ‘Barvette’, exhibits the unique and surprising combination of resistance to Summer Patch caused by the fungus Magnaporthe poae, traffic tolerance and recovery, increased billbug and white grub tolerance, stem rust resistance and increased tolerance to summer stresses. The invention relates to seeds, plants and plant parts of Kentucky bluegrass variety ‘Barvette’, and also to progeny of Kentucky bluegrass variety ‘Barvette’ and to methods for producing other Kentucky bluegrass plants or plant parts from ‘Barvette’, and to the plants and parts derived from use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid Kentucky bluegrass seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing ‘Barvette’ with another Kentucky bluegrass variety, species of Poa, or plant genus.

Abstract: This disclosure provides perennial ryegrass plants having determinate-stolons developed by subjecting large number of perennial ryegrass plants to intense traffic. This grass can quickly repair (high regeneration potential) itself from traffic damage, and has good turf qualities compared to other perennial ryegrasses. The high regeneration potential gives it the ability to quickly repair itself from traffic damage and fill in open areas in turf. Methods of using the perennial ryegrass grass plants and seed are also provided. This grass is suitable for use in turf, for example turf that is exposed to significant traffic. This disclosure also provides methods of selecting for such grass plants.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Bermuda grass plant named ‘BAR 1CD3’, which is primarily characterized by rapid lateral spread that forms a dense sod, minimal thatch, and minimal vertical growth that requires very little mowing, and producing very few seed heads, if any, is disclosed.

Abstract: A tall fescue variety known as BE9301A which is inoculated with endophyte E34 is provided. Also provided is the endophyte E34. Methods of using the grass plant, seed, and endophyte are also provided. In particular examples, BE9301A is suitable for use in forage pastures due to the low amounts of alkaloids present.

Abstract: A glyphosate-tolerant perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) variety, in one example known as experimental code BAR Lp 2703, seed used to produce the grass, and methods of using the grass plant and the seed are provided. This grass is suitable for use in lawns, golf courses, sod, and other turfs, for example where weeds are or may become a problem. Weed control in areas planted with the disclosed grasses can be achieved by direct application of glyphosate herbicides.

Abstract: A tall fescue variety known as breeder's code Bar Fa 08PB and seed used to produce the grass are provided. Methods of using the grass plant and the seed are also provided. This grass is suitable for use in turf (lawns, pastures, golf courses, sod, and other areas where excellent turf quality is desired) and forage pastures.
