Molecular Breeding of Forage and Turf. Proceedings of the 3rd International Symposium, Molecular Breeding of Forage and Turf, Dallas, Texas, and Ardmore, Oklahoma, USA, May 18 - 22, 2003. Published 2004. 408 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.
Contains the most comprehensive reviews on the latest development inapplications of molecular techniques for the improvement of foragegrasses, forage legumes and turf grasses. Detailed accounts and futureopportunities in molecular breeding of forage and turf, from gene discovery to development of improved cultivars, are described in thebook. Almost all relevant areas are explored in detail, including tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses; flowering control; plant-symbiont relations; breeding for animal, human and environmental welfare; molecular markers; transgenics; bioinformatics; populationgenetics etc.
