POPULATION STRUCTURE, GENETIC VARIATION AND LINKAGE DISEQUILIBRIUM IN PERENNIAL RYEGRASS POPULATIONS DIVERGENTLY SELECTED FOR FREEZING TOLERANCE

Population structure, genetic variation and linkage disequilibrium in perennial ryegrass populations divergently selected for freezing tolerance

Low temperature is one of the abiotic stresses seriously affecting the growth of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.Understanding the genetic control of freezing tolerance would aid in the development of cultivars of perennial ryegrass with improved adaptation to frost.A total number of 80 individuals (24 swap patch of High frost [HF]; 29 of Low
