Abstract excerpt
Improved winter hardiness is an important breeding objective in the forage grass Lolium perenne. This is a complex trait with several components, including the ability to survive and grow at low temperature, to acclimate to cold, tolerate wind, snow cover and ice encasement. Marker-assisted selection has the potential to increase the efficiency of breeding for improved cold tolerance. Here we describe a...
