Pivotal gene found to confer heat tolerance in perennial ryegrass
Proposed model of LpHsfA2-mediated heat tolerance. Due to the allelic variation of LpHsfA2 promoter, the regulation of downstream genes LpHSP18.2 and LpAPX1. Credit: Journal of Integrative Plant Biology (2024). DOI: 10.1111/jipb.13789 Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), widely cultivated in the cool-season for forage supply and turfgrass, is extremely susceptible to high temperatures. A recent study … Read more
