Offered Papers Theme A: Efficient Production from Grassland
Description
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is the most important grass in Europe; it often is defoliated. The link between fructan metabolism and defoliation tolerance has been studied in 2 Lolium perenne varieties, Aurora (high sugar perennial) and Perma (low-to-normal sugar perennial) (Turner et al., 2002).
