Sources of winter hardiness in wild lentil

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 1996
In high altitude areas (> c. 850 m elevation) in west Asia and north Africa, lentil (Lens culinaris) is grown as a spring crop to avoid severe winter cold. But late fall-sown lentil with winter hardiness has higher yield potential in these areas. In this study a total of 245 accessions of wild lentil, 10 of cultivated lentil and three accessions of ...

Seeing winter hardiness

2021
In Canada, winter wheat must survive air temperatures as low as -30oC. Snow cover acts as a thermal blanket reducing the direct exposure to chilling air temperatures. In a joint Can/UK wheat project we measured vegetative cover (VC) on 88 different winter wheat varieties in the fall up to snow cover and directly after the snow melted in the spring ...

WINTER HARDINESS EVALUATION IN ALFALFA

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1960
A study was undertaken to determine the relationship between carbohydrate content in the roots of alfalfa varieties in the fall and winter hardiness of the varieties. Several agronomic characters were also considered in relation to winter hardiness. Winter injury was found to be inversely proportional to the hexosan content.

The determination of winter-hardiness in oats

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1934
When assessing the value of any variety of a commercial plant one is concerned with a number of different features of the plant's behaviour, among others winter-hardiness. The behaviour with regard to most of these features is tested by methods which have been carefully planned and whose reliability has been proved, but the determination of winter ...

Winter Hardiness in Guayule

Botanical Gazette, 1944
1. Woody outdoor seedlings of guayule not yet unacclimated to low temperatures survived only slightly lower temperatures than did very succulent greenhouse plants of the same age. 2. The rate of cooling, preceding an extended exposure to low temperatures, did not appreciably alter the resistance of the plant to frost injury. 3.

Study of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) winter-hardiness and development of screening methods

open access: yesField Crops Research, 2008
In cool-temperate regions, faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is mainly grown as a spring crop despite the higher yield potential of the winter type, because of the insufficient winter-hardiness of the present winter genotypes.

Revealing Hereditary Variation of Winter Hardiness in Cereals

Russian Journal of Genetics, 2004
A set of cereal crops and differentiating cultivars was shown to be of utility for identifying the major abiotic factors that limit the survival of winter crops in the cold season of a particular year. With this approach, the season was identified (1997-1998, Belgorod) when the survival of cereals depended on the tolerance to anaerobiosis rather than ...

Breeding winter hardy grasses

Euphytica, 1994
Perennial grasses are vital for Norwegian agricultural production. The nature and extent of winter damage on grasslands is highly dependent on climatic conditions, and determines both persistency and yield. Physical stresses such as frost and ice encasement predominate in coastal regions with an unstable winter climate, while biotic stresses such as ...

The inheritance of winter hardiness in Pisum I

Euphytica, 1966
An F3 hybrid population of the cross Early Perfection x Austrian Winter peas was fall planted at East Lansing, Michigan. The segregates that overwintered indicated that hardiness is inherited independently from other phenotypic characteristics. Thus, the possibility exists that the winter hardy character can be transferred from the Austrian Winter pea ...
