Abstract/Contents:Presents a study to "compare and contrast the changes associated with cold hardening seen in cereal crops with those present in turf species and to see if interspecific variation in these changes can help explain the difference in cold hardiness associated with three different cool-season turfgrass species." Three species of turfgrass were evaluated for acclimation capacity. Cautions that "most of the data for this experiment is not yet analyzed." Preliminary results include that there is an "increase in cold hardiness between acclimated and non-acclimated plants of all three species." Kentucky bluegrass had the largest acclimation capacity, perennial ryegrass was intermediate, and supina bluegrass was lowest.
