| Abstract/Contents: | "An experiment to determine the nonstructural carbohydrate composition and nodal survival (LTā
ā) of common carpetgrass was conducted between 1993 and 1994 at Baton Rouge, La. Nonstructural carbohydrates in stolons were primarily sucrose [70-130 mgĀ·gā»Ā¹ dry weight (DW)] and starch (8-33 mgĀ·gā»Ā¹ DW). Total nonstructural carbohydate (TNC) composition of stolons ranged from between 30 to 165 mgĀ·gā»Ā¹ DW. Node survival following exposure to 2Ā°C ranged from 0% in August-sampled grass to 48% in December. The LTā
ā following acclimation under field conditions was -2 to -4Ā°C. Environmental factors influenced nonstructural carbohydrate composition, partitioning, and node suvival. No relationship between TNC concentration and low-temperature tolerance was found. This research confirms previous reports that low-temperature tolerance of carpetgrass is very poor, and its culture may be limited to geographic areas having moderate winter temperatures." |
