Festuca arundinacea Schreb.(tall fescue) is a turfgrass desired for planting in transition-
zones. To determine the major processes associated with drought tolerance in this crop, four …

Impact of photosynthetic and antioxidant capacities on drought tolerance of two closely
related forage grasses, Festuca arundinacea and Festuca glaucescens, was deciphered …

Drought stress is a major factor limiting turfgrass growth. The objectives of the study were to
determine genetic variation in major physiological traits associated with drought tolerance in …

The aim of this study is to find Iranian tall fescue accessions that tolerate drought stress and
investigation on phylogenetical, morphological, and physiological characterization of them …

Improving tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) drought resistance is important for
water conservation and persistence under drought stress. A 1996 to 1998 field study was …

In semi-arid and arid regions, the selection of suitable grass species with high-yield
production, tolerance to drought stress, and potential for recovery from drought is of special …

Summer decline is typically characterized by heat and drought stress and is a major concern
for fine fescue species (Festuca). The objectives of this study were to examine whether heat …

Identification and screening of grasses with excellent drought tolerance is a desirable
strategy in breeding drought-tolerant turf and forage cultivars. Not all fescue selections and …

Drought is among the most limiting factors for turfgrass growth. Understanding genetic
variations and physiological mechanisms in turfgrass drought resistance would facilitate …

To understand the molecular genetic basis underlying drought tolerance in grasses, the
cDNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism (cDNA-AFLP) technique was applied for …
