Turfgrasses are ground cover plants with intensive fibrous roots to encounter different edaphic stresses. The major edaphic stressors of turfgrasses often include soil salinity, drought, flooding, acidity, soil compaction by heavy traffic, unbalanced soil nutrients, heavy metals, and soil...

Fresh water scarcity is increasingly affecting urban landscapes, and the best strategy for sustaining the turfgrass industry would be to create, select, and use drought-resistant genotypes. Bermudagrasses (Cynodon spp.) have different mechanisms to survive drought stress either by growing long...

Bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] is one of the most widely cultivated turfgrass species throughout the world. It has several important attributes, such as heat and drought tolerance, and one big disadvantage, which is susceptibility to cold temperatures. Although many seeded bermudagrass...

Protein kinases are important factors in plant defense system, protein kinase SnRK2 is a serine/threonine protein kinase, can play an important role in the plant stress signal transduction pathway through phosphorylation.We analyzed the expression pattern of SnRK2.4 under abiotic stresses, aiming...

Today, in most countries, which have reached a very high level of industrialization, technicalization and urbanization, the conservation and creation of green areas is an important means of protecting man and his living environment. Green spaces are good for human health, not only by creating a...

Drought and heat stresses are major challenges for turfgrass management in the desert southwest of the United States where rainfall is insufficient to support managed turfgrass growth. Irrigation water availability and its quality are increasingly strained due to diminishing surface water supplies. ...

In order to study perennial grasses for ornamental purposes in the period 2019-2021, a field experiment was conducted in IFC - Pleven on soil type leached chernozem, under non-irrigated conditions, a characteristic was made in height, soil cover, turf density, biomass, color, content of...

Knowledge of drought resistance of cool-season turfgrasses is important because drought stress can occur wherever they are grown even in humid regions with wet climates. This review is Part II of two companion papers that review water use and requirements in cool-season turfgrasses. Part I...

Knowledge of water use rates and responses to deficit irrigation practices in cool-season turfgrasses is important, particularly in climates where irrigation is required to maintain turf quality. This is Part I of two companion papers reviewing cool-season turfgrass water use and requirements. Part ...

As urbanization in the world increases, irrigated landscapes have become common in the developing world, particularly the temperate and warm regions. Although these landscapes provide esthetic value, they can also consume resources such as potable water. In the United States, this consumption of...
