Photosynthetic responses mediate the adaptation of two Lotus japonicus ecotypes to low temperature

Lotus species are important forage legumes due to their high nutritional value and adaptability to marginal conditions. However, the dry matter production and regrowth rate of cultivable Lotus spp. is drastically reduced during colder seasons. In this work, we evaluated the chilling response of Lotu...
