Description
Studies were performed on Lolium perenne L. and Dactylis glomerata L. for accelerated production of plant generations. Flowering of Lolium perenne - was induced in single-leaf seedlings by 65-day vemalization at + 4.5 °C, short-day conditions, and low intensity of illumination (30 microeinsteins • m-2 • s- 1 ). In Dactylis glomerata, flowering was achieved within 100 days by vernalization at low to medium temperatures, short-day conditions, and high intensity of illumination (440 microeinsteins • m-2 • s- 1). Accordingly, by means of refrigerators for producing low temperatures during vernalization and with artificial light, one generation of Lolium perenne can be produced within 146 days, while one generation of Dactylis glomerata will be ready within 227 days.
