MADS-box gene expression patterns correlate with drought and salt stress responses in Kentucky bluegrass ( <i>Poa pratensis</i> L.)
This study identified 16 MADS-box genes in Kentucky bluegrass and revealed Tissue-specific expression patterns in Arcadia under drought and salt conditions. These candidate genes may contribute to stress tolerance, providing a foundation for further research and potential genetic improvement of Kentucky bluegrass for enhanced resistance to abiotic stresses.
