Stop #1: Improvement of Bermudagrass, Kikuyugrass, and Zoysiagrass for Winter Color Retention and Drought Tolerance
California is suffering from a serious drought and the future of turfgrass and other landscape plants has never been more uncertain. Use of drought tolerant plant species should be at the forefront of water conservation management plans for golf courses and other landscapes. Warm-season or C4 grasses are better adapted to warmer, drier climates and use at least 20% less water compared to cool-s...
متن کاملRooting traits of peanut genotypes differing in drought tolerance under drought stress
The effects of two water regimes (well-watered condition or drought stress) on root length,root surface area and root volume were tested on two peanut genotypes (the drought-resistantvariety HuaYu 22 (HY22) and the drought-sensitive variety HuaYu 23 (HY23)), measured 101days after sowing. The roots were sampled from the upper (0–40 cm) and deeper (40–100 cm)soil layers. Root diameter was measur...
متن کاملShade and Traffic Tolerance of Bermudagrass and Zoysiagrass
Shade and traffic can reduce turfgrass coverage and playability on both golf courses and sports fields. Five cultivars of bermudagrass and seven cultivars of zoysiagrass were planted in the summer of 2007 and maintained under typical golf course fairway and sports field conditions. Plots were shaded continuously beginning spring 2008 with a 50% light reducing fabric. A second study was implemen...
متن کاملReduced Lateral Root Branching Density Improves Drought Tolerance in Maize.
An emerging paradigm is that root traits that reduce the metabolic costs of soil exploration improve the acquisition of limiting soil resources. Here, we test the hypothesis that reduced lateral root branching density will improve drought tolerance in maize (Zea mays) by reducing the metabolic costs of soil exploration, permitting greater axial root elongation, greater rooting depth, and thereb...
متن کاملEffect of reduced plant height on drought tolerance in rice
Drought stress due to water deficit is a major problem of rice cultivation as a most drought-sensitive crop plant. A rice mutant line (MT58) was developed after mutagenesis of cv. Neda by ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) and selected for dwarfism (18 cm shorter than Neda). The extent of its molecular changes relative to parental cultivar was assessed by SSR and ISSR markers, and the response of th...
