Abstract

Sixty perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L) plants were cold-acclimated and then subjected to freezing at −10 °C. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to analyse the expression of six candidate genes during cold-acclimation and freezing periods. Four genes responded similarly in two investigated genotypes during both hardening and freezing periods, while the cold-response genes LpIRI and LOS2 distinguished high induction level. These genes represent valuable candidates for further SNP analysis to identify functional markers for cold tolerance in perennial ryegrass.
