Abstract/Contents:"Japan is located in transitional zone surrounded by the sea where salt intrusion contaminates soils and low temperature causes stress to Cynodon. Furthermore, flooding occurs during the rainy (June-July) and typhoon (September-October) seasons. This study was conducted to determine relative response of twenty-two Cynodon accessions to sea water treatment (salt), submersion (flooding), and natural low temperatures (cold). All plants were vegitatively propagated from sprigs and planted in pots filled with sand. The salt tolerance experiment was conducted by treating plants with sea water for five weeks. Flooding was imposed on the plants by submerging for 20 days. Natural low temperature stress was measured by growing the potted plants under natural conditions and estimating their colour from November until spring green-up of the plants were completed. Afer 20 days submersion ranged from 26% to 75%, with accessions 'IR1' and 'IR2' being the most tolerant while 'IR8' was the most sensitive. Sea water treatment produced effects ranging from no apparent injury in 'IR2' to complete destruction of shoots in accession 'UAE'. Winter killing occurred in accessions 'IR1', 'IR2', and 'IR10'. Though other accessions survived during the winter, they showed different dormancy periods. Marked differences in the respone of the accessions to natural low temperatures, sea water, and submersion suggest that genotypic variation in these traits could be used in future breeding work."
