Table 4 The average value of turf quality (TQ), photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm), chlorophyll content (Chl, mg/g DW), photosynthesis rate (Pn, μmol CO2/m2/s), water use efficiency (WUE, μmol CO2/mmol H2O), electrolyte leakage (EL, %), leaf relative water content (RWC, %), root activity (RA, mg/g·h), and PCA ranking value of perennial ryegrass accessions in three phylogenetic clusters under heat stress condition

From: Natural variation of physiological traits, molecular markers, and chlorophyll catabolic genes associated with heat tolerance in perennial ryegrass accessions
