| Abstract/Contents: | "The effects of high temperature on Poa annua were studied in a specially designed wind tunnel chamber. Wind speed in the chamber was 11.4 miles per hour, the relative humidity was approximately 100 percent and temperature treatments ranged from 37.2°C to 44.9° C. Exposure times varied from 10 minutes to 12 hours. Injury was evaluated by gross observations and a histological technique. High temperature resulted in a systematic injury to plant tissue. Injury occurred first at the junction of the leaf sheath and leaf blade of all affected leaves. With a longer exposure time or higher temperatures, a longer period of time was required for leaf growth to recommence. The rate of elongation and total elongation were decreased with increasing severity of treatment. With increasing severity of treatment, fewer tillers and roots were produced from the lower portion of the crown. These roots were shorter, more spindly and more highly branched than roots of normal plants. The order of cellular changes observed was protoplasmic granulation, protoplasmic coagulation, cell wall breakdown and total cell collapse. Kill was a function of exposure time. A much shorter period of time was required to obtain 50 percent kill at higher temperature than at lower temperatures." |
