Persistence and production of perennial grasses under water deficits and extreme temperatures: importance of intraspecific vs. interspecific variability (2012, background): “…water potential in the summer, thus confirming previous results showing that the predawn leaf water potential could reach 7 MPa in D. glomerata (Norton et al., 2006a) and almost 4 MPa in F. arundinacea (Norton et al., 2006b) under a severe water deficit, whereas their aboveground meristematic…”
Plant drought survival under climate change and strategies to improve perennial grasses. A review (2016, background): “Summer-dormant tall fescue is genetically (Craven et al. 2005) and physiologically (Norton et al. 2006b) distinct from the summer-active variant; thus, its potential to be invasive should not be considered similar.”
Designing resilient and sustainable grasslands for a drier future: Adaptive strategies, functional traits and biotic interactions (2013, background): “Genotypes that survive best can reach very low leaf water potentials such as -5 to -7 MPa in the remaining meristems (Norton et al. 2006; Poirier et al. 2012) even though their foliage senescence is almost complete under severe drought.”
