Description
Silvana Moreno and co-authors study in 2023 how timothy grass and two wild relatives handle flooded soil. Timothy is a forage grass grown for hay and silage in northern regions. Wetter weather raises the risk that fields stay soaked for long periods, so breeders need tougher plants.
The team flooded young plants for three weeks and tracked growth and root changes. All plants grew surface roots and formed air spaces in their roots, but the strength of each response varied. A few wild samples kept growing well despite the flood. Those samples stand out as breeding stock for future grass types that can cope with wet ground.
