Resistance of Multiple Diploid and Tetraploid Perennial Ryegrass (<i>Lolium perenne</i> L.) Varieties to Three Projected Drought Scenarios for the UK in 2080

Resistance of Multiple Diploid and Tetraploid Perennial Ryegrass (<i>Lolium perenne</i> L.) Varieties to Three Projected Drought Scenarios for the UK in 2080

Forage plants underpin the livestock industry. Selective breeding, including polyploidization, where genome size is increased by whole genome duplication, changes the productivity and stress tolerance of new varieties. We conducted a growth chamber experiment to investigate the likely responses of &...
