Differential responses of antioxidant metabpolism to heat stress for warm‐season and cool‐season turfgrass species
High temperature is a primary stress limiting growth of cool‐season grass species, but less detrimental to warm‐ season species.Heat stress causes various physiological changes, including antioxidant metabolism.Whether interspecific variation in turfgrass tolerance to heat stress is related to differential responses of antioxidant enzyme activities is not well documented.The objective of this study was to investigate whether superior heat tolerance of warm‐season zoysiagrass ( Zoygia matrella) and was related to active antioxidant defense systems in comparison to cool‐season tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea).
