Abstract/Contents:"Golf course poa annua populations located along a gradient of different intensities of turf irrigation and mowing practices were studied for characteristics of seed dormancy and seed bank, effects of light conditions and growth regulators on dry weight partitioning, and genetic differentiation and adaptation of life history traits. A large genetic component of variation of various vegetative and reproductive traits indicates rapid genetic differentiation has been taking place among the populations at the micro-ecological level. Plants from dry and low- maintenance conditions show annual characteristics, whereas plants form wet and high-maintenance conditions show perennial characteristics. Effects of light and growth regulator treatments indicate different responses between annual and perennial biotypes. This information is of value for Poa annua control and management."
