| Abstract/Contents: | "Continental tall fescue [Festuca arundinacea Schreb. syn. Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh.] is the predominant forage used by cattle producers throughout much of the Midwest. However, Mediterranean tall fescue is gaining popularity in warmer, drier climates. One major difference of Mediterranean tall fescue is that it enters a semidormant period during hot dry summers but resurges during the fall and winter months. During the autumn resurgence it has exceptional growth but does not survive prolonged freezing conditions typically found in the Midwest. To determine how both Continental and Mediterranean tall fescues respond to low temperatures that are typically encountered during the fall, the leaf extension rate (LER) was measured along with proline, simple sugars, fructan, and abscisic acid (ABA). Three Mediterranean and four Continental accessions were tested, including Kentucky-31 and Flecha as "typical" Continental and Mediterranean accessions, respectively. The greatest difference observed between these types of tall fescue occurred at 4.5° C. The Mediterranean genotypes had greater LER and fructan concentrations while the Continental genotypes possessed greater proline, ABA, and simple sugar concentrations. Kentucky-31 was typically found in the middle between the Mediterranean and the remaining Continental accessions. These data indicate that Mediterranean germplasm possesses superior cold growth, but the high proline levels produced by the Continental types may be critical for survival under cold conditions." |
