Identification of genes involved in a water stress response in timothy and mapping of orthologous loci in perennial ryegrass
In order to characterize the response of selected grasses to water stress, relative water content (RWC) in leaves and quantum efficiency of photosystem 2 (Fv/Fm) were measured in Phleum pratense L., P.bertolonii DC.and P.phleoides H.Karst.during 6 d of water stress.The results indicated differential responses to water stress among the three Phleum
