However, turfgrasses are not as well-studied compared to major world food crops such as rice. Like many of the turfgrasses grown in the northern US, rice is a cool-season grass. Rice is a globally important crop as well as a model species for many biological phenomena of grasses, including rhizome development.

As researchers, we try to classify how light changes under these areas to better understand how turfgrasses might respond, and to be able to breed better turfgrasses for shade.
