| Abstract/Contents: | "Morphological, anatomical, and cytological investigations have been useful in identifying red fescue (Festuca rubra L.) at the subspecies level but are inadequate for cultivar identification. Qualitative and quantitative aspects of anthocyanin synthesis and accumulation are under strict genetic and environmental control. An effective method for cultivar separation has been developed by comparing total anthocyanin concentrations among red fescue cultivars. Seven cultivars of Chewings red fescue ('Jamestown', 'Banner', 'Koket', 'Polar', 'Atlanta', 'Cascade', and 'Highlight') were grown from seed in sand culture for 20 or 30 days at varying phosphate and nitrate levels. Eliminating phosphate from nutrient solutions and providing 9.3 ppm of nitrate stimulated anthocyanin accumulation in all cultivars tested. After 20 days growth, anthocyanin content in all seedlings except 'Cascade' and 'Koket' were significantly different. After 30 days growth, only 'Jamestown' and 'Banner' were indistinguishable. The comparison of anthocyanin content between 20 day old cultivars of Chewings red fescue grown under low nitrate levels and no phosphate provided an effective method for separating out a majority of the cultivars tested." |
