| Abstract/Contents: | "Three major cultivar groups of red fescue (Festuca rubra L.) are recoginized, viz. strongly creeping and hexaploid, and non-creeping and hexaploid (Chewings), but a thousand-seed weight (TSW) of 0.74 g is used commercially for the species. Based on 12 cultivars/group, the TSW of the strongly creeping group (1.225g) was significantly higher than the slender creeping group (0.894g) and the Chewings group (0.936g); the higher TSW was probably a consequence of the higher ploidy status. The TSW of 0.74 g is not characteristic of many contemporary red fescue cultivars, particularly the strongly creeping octoploids." |
