What's up with proline: 2020 ACS meeting

Stephanie Rossi and Bingru Huang, Rutgers University, presented "Involvement of Proline in Amino Acid Metabolism Associated with Enhanced Heat Tolerance in Creeping Bentgrass" at the 2020 ACS meetings. Proline is a non-protein amino acid that plays a role in a variety of metabolic regulatory systems in plants. Rossi and Haung spray applied proline and subjected Pencross creeping bentgrass to different day/night temperature regimens. The control temperature regimen was 22 C (72 F) day and 18 C (64 F) night.
