Evaluation of seedling emergence and relative DNA content under dry soil conditions of wild Festuca arundinacea populations collected in Iran

Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is an important forage and turf grass species adapted to cold, arid and semiarid environments. Germination and seedling establishment of F. arundinacea cultivars is constrained by the low soil moisture found in these regions. Genome size was found to positiv...
