| Abstract/Contents: | "Researchers at Colorado State University continue to investigate the potential for inland saltgrass [Distichlis spicata var. stricta (L.) Greene] to be developed as a turfgrass for drought and salt-prone environments. The research also includes evaluations for this species cold hardiness. Results to date include: Saltgrass accessions vary with their cold hardiness. Southern accessions are less cold tolerant than the northern accessions. Northern accessions responded to climate changes in early October, whereas southern lines maintained green color until early November, Sucrose was the predominant carbohydrate, but had no correlation with freezing tolerance. Fructose and glucose followed sucrose in abundance and correlated well with freezing tolerance. Raffinose and stachyose concentrations were very low, they correlated significantly with freezing tolerance." |
