Abstract:Heat stress is a major concern for the growth of cool-season creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.). Nonetheless, there is a lack in a clear and systematic understanding of thermotolerance mechanisms for this species. This study aimed to assess heat tolerance in experimental lines and cultivars to determine important physiological and biochemical traits responsible for improved tolerance, including the use of OJIP fluorescence. Ten creeping bentgrass lines were exposed to either control (20/15 °C day/nig… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
