3. Poa arachnifera - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poa_arachnifera

   During the 1990s, botanists began experimenting with producing hybrids of Texas bluegrass and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) for use as wintering foraging plant for grazing livestock [citation needed] and as a drought-resistant lawn grass. The hybrids appear similar to Kentucky bluegrass, but maintain their green color in higher ...

   Since the 1950s and early 1960s, 90% of Kentucky bluegrass seed in the United States has been produced on specialist farms in Idaho, Oregon and Washington. During the 1990s [citation needed] botanists began experimenting with hybrids of Poa pratensis and Texas bluegrass (P. arachnifera), with the goal of creating a drought and heat-resistant ...

5. Breeding for drought stress tolerance - Wikipedia

   Resistance to drought is a quantitative trait, with a complex phenotype, often confounded by plant phenology. Breeding for drought resistance is further complicated since several types of abiotic stress, such as high temperatures, high irradiance, and nutrient toxicities or deficiencies can challenge crop plants simultaneously.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dryland_farming

   Seed planting depth and timing are carefully considered to place the seed at a depth at which sufficient moisture exists, or where it will exist when seasonal precipitation falls. Farmers tend to use crop varieties which are drought-tolerant and heat-stress tolerant (even lower-yielding varieties).

8. Drought tolerance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drought_tolerance

   In botany, drought tolerance is the ability by which a plant maintains its biomass production during arid or drought conditions. [1] [2] [3] Some plants are naturally adapted to dry conditions, surviving with protection mechanisms such as desiccation tolerance, detoxification, or repair of xylem embolism. [3]

9. Poa annua - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poa_annua

   Poa annua, or annual meadow grass (known in America more commonly as annual bluegrass or simply poa), is a widespread low-growing turfgrass in temperate climates. Notwithstanding the reference to annual plant in its name, perennial bio-types do exist. [2] This grass originated as a hybrid between Poa supina and Poa infirma. [3]
