| Research Abstract |
A high salt tolerant line was produced using Zoysia sinica, unused germplasm of the Japanese lawn grass (Zoysia genus). Relative salinity tolerance was found to positively correlate with the distribution pattern of salt glands on leaf surfaces, and some lines that survived after the 7% saline-treatment were produced. Using molecular markers (RAPD, SSR) to perform genetic diversity evaluation, the lines collected from Tsushima were found to form clusters that were independent of other regions. As a result of identifying an efficient propagating method by seedling, several elite lines were selected.
