N2  - One line of subterranean clover (CPI 14196) produced significantly more dry matter than three other lines (CPI 12621 &mdash; Israel, Dwalganup, and Mount Barker) at root temperatures suboptimal for shoot growth (10 and 15&#176;C). These differences were associated with leaf area per plant and the size of individual leaves, and the greater growth was associated with partitioning of a greater part of the dry matter to leaves. The significance of the results is discussed in terms of limits to winter production of pastures based on subterranean clover.
