Title
GENETIC VARIATION FOR TEMPERATURE RESPONSE IN ALFALFA (MEDICAGO SATIVA L.)
R. J. McLAUGHLIN; B. R. CHRISTIE Canadian Journal of Plant Science 1980. doi:10.4141/cjps80-079
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Alfalfa genotypes differed greatly in their response to temperature.
- Association Alfalfa genotypes yielding well at higher temperatures tended to be early-maturing with few stems per plant.
- Association Alfalfa genotypes yielding well at low temperatures tended to be later in maturity and to have a large number of stems.
- Association Growth-room performance and field performance of alfalfa genotypes showed little or no relationship.
- Mechanism The lack of association between growth-room and field performance was due in part to winter injury in the first year.
