Abstract/Contents: | Presents a report on research conducted to improve winter hardiness of perennial ryegrass varieties. Provides background information on perennial ryegrass characteristics, noting its potential freezing intolerance. Discusses the chemistry of overwintering in plants, suggesting that the accumulation of protective carbohydrate compounds in the crown may be a genetic trait transferable to weaker cultivars. Concludes that "further investigation is necessary to determine additional factors that contribute to differences in winter survival among these perennial ryegrass breeding lines." |
