Leaf pigment concentration and its relation to yield in fairway crested wheat grass and parkland brome grass

1940

Johnson, I.J. | Miller, E.S.

In a study of 55 clonal lines of Fairway crested wheat grass and 76 clonal lines of Parkland brome grass, widely significant differences were obtained in percentage of total carotenoid pigments, beta carotene, and total chlorophyll. The strains studied varied significantly in yield on a green weight basis. No significant relationship was found between the concentration of chlorophyll or carotenoid pigments and yielding ability. Significant correlations were obtained between the concentraiton of total chlorophyll and either total carotenoids of beta carotene.
