Abstract/Contents: | "Tall fescue (Festuca areundinacea Schreb.) is a potentially useful crop plants for forage and seed production and selenium (Se) accumulation in land contaminated with high concentrations of Se and salinity. The finding of genetic variation in Se and salt tolerance within this species is of importance in Se bioaccumulation management. Genetic variation of both Se tolerance and salt tolerance was detected among 13 tall fescue lines. Six American commercial lines exhibit higher Se tolerance, but are less variable than the seven worldwide fescue collections. Selenium tolerance and salt tolerance were found to be negatively correlated with tissue. Se and salt concentrations. These findings suggest than [that] an exclusive mechanism is responsible for the tolerance. Genetic variation exists for the characters of Se tolerance and accummulation among the cultivars having higher salt tolerance. Thus, this diversity of genotypes is particularly useful for Se bioaccumulation and soil and water quality improvement in saline soils with variable elevated Se levels. Selenium tolerance and salt tolerance were found to be independent of each other. Further studies will determine if these traits can be independently selected and combined into desirable groups." |
