The role physiological responses in survival of prolonged soil moisture deficit was
investigated in vegetative plants of two Dactylis glomerata populations: KM2 (drought …

Drought survival in perennial forage plants involves different adaptative responses such as
delay of dehydration through water uptake, limitation of water loss and tolerance of tissues to …

1. In Mediterranean environments, the ability to survive severe summer water-stress
determines the persistence, and hence the autumn yield, of temperate perennial grasses …

In Mediterranean drylands, drought survival is a major factor of persistence of perennial
forage grasses. In the island of Corsica, plant survival and changes in water‐soluble …

The ability to survive severe summer water stress determines the persistence, and therefore
autumn yield, of temperate grasses in the Mediterranean environment. In the island of …

In rainfed Mediterranean areas, summer drought is the main factor affecting the persistence
of perennial grasses. Most available cultivars of Dactylis glomerata (cocksfoot) exhibit low …

Cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and Italian
ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) plants were grown in a glasshouse and in a controlled …

Abstract Effects of localized soil drought stress on water relations, root growth, and nutrient
uptake were examined in drought tolerant 'Prairie'buffalograss [Buchloe dactyloides (Nutt.) …

Abstract Cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.). perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and
Italian ryegrass (L. multiflorum Lam.) plants were grown on deep (75–95 cm) columns of soil …

Decades of anthropogenic flooding to create wetlands in spring for breeding waterfowl in the
Canadian Prairies have produced undesirable successional shifts from open wetlands …
