Abstract excerpt
Submergence stress can cause the death of grass plants. Identification of the association between molecular markers and submergence tolerance-related traits facilitates an efficient selection of the tolerant cultivars for commercial production. A global collection of 99 diverse perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) accessions was evaluated for submergence tolerance and analyzed with 109 simple sequence repeat...
