Abstract
A perennial St. Augustinegrass having rapid lateral spread, an outstanding root system, a dark green color, and good gray leafspot resistance. This variety has a good overall turf quality and performs well under sod production conditions.
Description
This invention relates to a new and distinct St. Augustinegrass. It was derived from a cross between a Texas Common selection (male parent) and a plant selected from open pollinated experimental 6-69-272 (female parent). This genotype first labeled 184 and later PS-247 was propagated vegetatively by stolons to provide planting stock for studying performance and making comparisons to commercially available cultivars.
Genotype PS-247 has a deep purple stigma color and a light purple anther color. It has a moderate leaf blade length and width, and internode length and width when compared to other cultivars. In field tests PS-247 had the longest stolon length, a rapid rate of cover, lowest gray leafspot (Piricularia grisea) incidence readings, and high turf quality ratings. In an aquaculture study PS-247 had a significantly greater number of roots and total root length than other St. Augustinegrass varieties in the test. This information can be used to distinguish PS-247 from other St. Augustine cultivars.
FIG. 1 is a photograph of the leaves and stem of a PS-247 St. Augustinegrass plant,
FIG. 2 shows a spike of a PS-247 St. Augustinegrass plant,
FIG. 3 shows mowed turf of PS-247, and
FIG. 4 shows the root development of PS-247 and other St. Augustinegrasses.
Genotype PS-247 possesses a Munsell color designation 5.0 GY 5/61/ and is characterized by compressed and branched culms. The leaf blades are moderate in length, averaging 34.6 mm and 49.0 mm for the first expanded leaf and the third leaf, respectively. The leaf blades are moderate in width, averaging 7.8 mm and 8.1 mm for the same leaves. The internode lengths and widths are also moderate in size, averaging 86.2 mm and 2.8 mm, respectively for the first expanded internode; and 97.4 mm and 2.7 mm, respectively for the third internode. This information and comparisons to commercially available cultivars, given in Tables 1 and 2, allow PS-247 to be distinguished from the semi-dwarf Seville and Floratam.

The purple stigma color and the light purple anther color of PS-247 along with the unreduced chromosome number of 18 allow this genotype to be easily distinguished from other commercially available St. Augustinegrasses. PS-247 is the only St. Augustine which has this particular combination. This information and comparisons with other cultivars is given in Table 4.

.sup.6 Chromosome number determinations made on pollen mother cells.
An electroporesis study carried out by Dr. James O. Anderson of Vari-Ident Laboratories suggest that PS-247 could be distinguished from Texas Comman, Raleigh, and Seville using various standard enzyme stains on a protein extract.
The rapid rate of cover and the outstanding stolon length of PS-247 can be used to identify this variety when compared to the other St. Augustinegrasses. These characteristics are considered very important in a vegetatively propagated species marketed through sod. This information which shows the lateral aggressiveness of PS-247, Raleigh and Floratam is summarized in Table 5.
