Genetic analyses of leaf traits in an interspecific Zoysia japonica × Zoysia matrella F2 population [PDF]
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.) is an important warm‐season turfgrass cultivated across tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions of the world. The genus is characterized by the presence of salt‐secreting glands on the adaxial leaf surface, which contribute to its high salt tolerance.
