Benefits of the stay-green mutation for animals and environment
Grass carrying the stay-green mutation does not degrade chlorophyll during senescence and retains LHCPII. Kingston-Smith et al. (pp. 731-740) examine the relationships between chlorophyll, protein and protease activities in wild-type and stay-green Lolium perenne with regard to improving protein quality when fresh and conserved forage are used as ruminant feeds.
