  • Patent number: 6498286
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to germplasm containing an identifier nucleotide sequence and to a method for identifying germplasm, more particularly the source of germplasm. The present invention is especially useful for determining the ownership of germplasm, plant or animal. Briefly, the invention is directed to the production of transgenic organisms which contain an identifier nucleotide sequence within the organellar genome. The identifier nucleotide sequence is selected such that it is capable of indicating the source of the germplasm. The organellar genome of germplasm to be tested is isolated and analyzed for the presence of the identifier nucleotide sequence. The presence of the identifier nucleotide sequence establishes the source of the germplasm.

  • Patent number: PP4380
    Abstract: A Kentucky bluegrass plant that is highly apomictic, thus providing a more uniform turf when propagated from seeds. The plant has good resistance to most diseases such as stripe smut, Helminthosporium leafspot, dollarspot, and rust. The production of a high number of rhizomes presents a dense turf which keeps weed competition down. This low-growing cultivar has a medium-textured turf and maintains its medium-green color for a longer season than some other varieties of bluegrass. The new variety of Kentucky bluegrass plant was selected from a large number of other bluegrass plants released in 1969 by Rutgers University to FFR Cooperative for variety development. The new variety was the result of replicated tests in cultivated areas at West Lafayette, Indiana and Spokane, Washington as reported hereinafter and the variety subsequently has been named "Plush".
