Compensatory plant growth as a response to herbivory

Samuel J. McNaughton
- 01 May 1983 - 
TL;DR: Compensatory growth in plants subjected to herbivory may alleviate the potential deleterious effects of tissue damage, whether to vegetative or reproductive organs.

Mapping and modeling the biogeochemical cycling of turf grasses in the United States.

Cristina Milesi, +5 more
- 27 Jul 2005 - 
TL;DR: The results indicate that well-watered and fertilized turf grasses act as a carbon sink, suggesting that outdoor water conservation practices such as xeriscaping and irrigation with recycled waste-water may need to be extended as many municipalities continue to face increasing pressures on freshwater.

Effects of heat acclimation pretreatment on changes of membrane lipid peroxidation, antioxidant metabolites, and ultrastructure of chloroplasts in two cool-season turfgrass species under heat stress

Sheng Xu, +4 more
- 01 Jul 2006 - 
TL;DR: Investigation in two cool-season turfgrass species showed it was insufficient to protect the chloroplast from damage with increase in heat stress level, even if with high AsA and GSH contents to remove reactive oxygen species (ROS).

- 01 Jan 2004 - 
TL;DR: Results suggest that specific groups of potential signaling molecules may induce tolerance of creeping bentgrass to heat stress by reducing oxidative damage.
