Drought and high temperature are two major factors limiting the growth of cool‐season turfgrasses during summer in many areas. The objective study was to examine whether adverse effects drought heat alone or combination on tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea L.) Kentucky bluegrass Poa pratensis involve oxidative stress. Grasses were exposed (withholding irrigation), (35°C/30°C), combined stresses for 30 d chambers. Turf quality (TQ), leaf relative water content (RWC), chlorophyll (Chl)...
Understanding physiological and biochemical factors involved in heat‐stress injury would help improve heat tolerance of cool‐season grasses. The objective this study was to investigate lipid peroxidation cell membranes relation creeping bentgrass ( Agrostis palustris Huds.). Two cultivars differing tolerance, L‐93 (heat tolerant) Penncross sensitive) were grown under two temperature regimes: 22/16°C (day/night) 35/25°C for 56 d growth chambers. Photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) chlorophyll...
Previous studies suggest that abscisic acid (ABA) stimulates the activities of antioxidant enzymes under normal and chilling temperature enhanced resistance in Stylosanthes guianensis. The objective this study was to test whether nitric oxide (NO) is involved ABA-induced guianensis due its nature as a second messenger stress responses. Plants were treated with NO donors, ABA, ABA combination scavengers or synthase (NOS) inhibitor their effects on activity production compared. results showed...
Stimulated emission depletion microscopy provides a powerful sub-diffraction imaging modality for life science studies. Conventionally, stimulated requires relatively high light intensity to obtain an adequate efficiency through only light-matter interaction. Here we show efficient class of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles with the assistance interionic cross relaxation, which significantly lowers laser requirements optical depletion. We demonstrate two-color super-resolution...
Turgrfass used on landscapes, parks, sports fields, and golf courses has significant ecological, environmental, economic impacts. The value of seed production turfgrasses is second to hybrid corn. land area cultivated with turfgrass increasing due rapid urban development. Turfgrass often subjected various abiotic stresses, which cause declines in aesthetic quality, functionality yield. Among drought, salinity, heat, low temperature are the most common detrimental factors for growth regions....
Abscisic acid ( ABA ), salicylic SA ) and γ‐aminobutyric GABA are known to play roles in regulating plant stress responses. This study was conducted determine metabolites associated pathways regulated by , that could contribute drought tolerance creeping bentgrass Agrostis stolonifera ). Plants were foliar sprayed with (5 μ M (0.5 m (10 or water (untreated control) prior 25 days controlled growth chambers. Application of ABA, had similar positive effects on alleviating damages, as manifested...
Calcium (Ca2+) may be involved in plant tolerance to heat stress by regulating antioxidant metabolism or/and water relations. This study was designed examine whether external Ca2+ treatment would improve two C3, cool‐season grass species, tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea L.) and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), determine the physiological mechanisms of effects on stress. Grasses were treated with CaCl2 (10 mM) or H2O foliar application then exposed (35/30 °C) growth chambers. Some...
Drought and heat are two major factors limiting growth of cool season grasses. Rapid recovery from the combination those stresses is important for persistence perennial turfgrasses. The study was designed to examine physiological associated with Kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L.) exposed combined drought stress following rewatering and/or temperature drop. Two cultivars differing in tolerance, ‘Midnight’ (tolerant) ‘Brilliant’ (sensitive), were (35°C) simultaneously a chamber until most...
Turf quality of Kentucky bluegrass ( Poa pratensis L.) often declines during summer when temperatures exceed its optimum range. This study was designed to determine whether application salicylic acid (SA) the shoots and soil could improve heat tolerance bluegrass, investigate SA‐induced is related changes in antioxidant activities. Effects SA at different concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5 mmol) on were examined exposed 46°C for 72 h a growth chamber. Influences production active...

Previous investigations identified velvet bentgrass ( Agrostis canina L.) as having higher drought resistance among species. This study was designed to determine whether species variation in for colonial A. capillaris L.), creeping stolonifera and associated with differences antioxidant enzyme levels response drought. Plants of ‘Tiger II’ bentgrass, ‘L-93’ ‘Greenwich’ were maintained a growth chamber under two watering treatments: 1) well-watered control 2) irrigation completely withheld 28...
In order to investigate the responses of plant genotypes waterlogging and nutrient supply, physiological, morphological, anatomical features were determined for two winter wheat (Triticum aestivum), ‘Bayles’ “Savannah”. Plants grown in a growth chamber fertilized with half-strength or full-strength Hoagland's solution during 17 d waterlogglng. Waterlogging reduced leaf water potential, stomatal conductance, photosynthesis, chlorophyll content, shoot nitrogen root both Bayles Savannah;...
Increased endogenous plant cytokinin (CK) content through transformation with an adenine isopentyl transferase (ipt) gene has been associated improved drought tolerance. The objective of this study is to determine metabolic changes elevated CK production in ipt transgenic creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) Null transformants (NTs) and plants transformed controlled by a stress- or senescence-activated promoter (SAG12-ipt) were exposed well-watered conditions stress withholding...
γ-Aminobutyric acid is a non-protein amino involved in various metabolic processes. The objectives of this study were to examine whether increased GABA could improve heat tolerance cool-season creeping bentgrass through physiological analysis, and determine major pathways regulated by profiling. Plants pretreated with 0.5 mM or water before exposed non-stressed condition (21/19 °C) stress (35/30 controlled growth chambers for 35 d. analysis demonstrated that exogenous application...
Cytokinins (CKs) may be involved in the regulation of plant adaptation to drought stress. The objectives study were identify proteomic changes leaves and roots relation improved tolerance transgenic creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) containing a senescence-activated promoter (SAG12) isopentyl transferase (ipt) transgene that increases endogenous CK content.
