Abstract

This short review elucidated the significance of the research on acclimation of the morphology and physiology in turf grass to low light environment, the mechanism of physiological response and the photosynthetic regulation and control of turf grass to suit low light environment. We also discussed current research problems and provided insight into future relevant research.

 

Key words: Low light, morphological change, physiological acclimation, regulation mechanism, turf grass.
