Developing Native Seed Germplasm
| 项目名称： | Developing Native Seed Germplasm |
| 摘要： | The objective of the four-year study is to collect and develop native plant germplasm possessing the following attributes: drought tolerant, quick-establishing, deep-rooted, and ability to reclaim and control dust-generating soils within the right-of-way, specifically in problem areas in New Mexico. Germplasm is living plant tissue such as a seed, leaf, pollen, cells, etc. that can be collected and used to produce new plants. Researchers will identify plant varieties that exhibit favorable characteristics for soil stabilization and dust mitigation in New Mexico; collect germplasm from native species containing desired characteristics; install one acre test blocks at four unique dust-prone sites on or near NMDOT right-of-way in Luna, Grant, Hidalgo, or Cibola Counties; and create and implement a statistically defensible research design that compares the NMDOT standard seed mix (�control� treatment) against local genotypes of the same species composition, and against novel native species with desired attributes. One acre test blocks will contain multiple comparison plots. |
