Abstract/Contents: | "A temperature-controlled hydroponic system is described for culture of turfgrasses for physiological studies. Rate of water stress development is controlled using polyethylene glycol in nutrient solution. A technique using a combination of pressure-volume and moisture release curves is described to evaluated turfgrass response to water stress. Leaf parameters that can be ascertained from this technique before and after water stress treatments include: maximum turgor pressure and relative water contents, turgid weight:dry weight ratios, osmotic potentials at full turgor and incipient plasmolysis, and elastic modulii. Implications of how these parameters may affect overall water use requirements of selected Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) genotypes are discussed." |
