| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "examine underlying physiological and biochemical factors associated with winter injury of cool-season turfgrasses, including perennial ryegrass and annual bluegrass." Describes the methods and materials used in the experiment. Reports that "tolerant accessions exhibited a higher capacity to alter crown membrane composition...that could help to maintain membrane integrity at low temperatures." |

| USGA Summary Points: | The accumulation of protective compounds, such as sucrose, along with changes in lipid composition during cold acclimation, represent critical mechanisms to help to lower cellular freezing point and improve cellular stability of perennial ryegrass at low temperatures. Research is underway to identify practices and conditions that can minimize annual bluegrass turf loss due to winter injury. Data obtained from university research will be updated on a website (www.umassturf.org/winterinjury), which is an essential component for disseminating important winter injury information to turfgrass professionals. |
