Molecular breeding of forage and turf: Proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on the Molecular Breeding of Forage and Turf

The 5th International Symposium on the Molecular Breeding of Forage and Turf covers all aspects of molecular breeding of forage and turf plants, from gene discovery, functional genomics, molecular genetics and marker technology, marker-assisted selection, transgenesis to transgenic molecular breeding; address applications - among others - for enhanced quality, tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses; relating to forage grasses, forage legumes, their bacterial and fungal endosymbionts, as well as turf grasses. Collection of research of theinternational science leaders in the field Presents the latest research in the field of plant molecular breeding and functional genomics Discusses the newest advances and applications of molecular technologies for turf grasses, forage grasses, and forage legumes INDICE: From the contents Molecular breeding to improve forages for use inanimal and biofuel production systems.- DREB regulons in abiotic-stress-responsive gene expression in plants.- Comparative genomics in legumes.- Development of Trifolium occidentale as a plant model system for perennial clonal species.- Characterization and utilization of genetic resources for improvement and management of grassland species.- Genomic and geographic origins of timothy (Phleum sp.) based on ITS and chloroplast sequences.- Diploid Brachypodium distachyon of Turkey: molecular and morphologic analysis.- Remnant Oak savanna actsas refugium for meadow fescue introduced during 19th century human migrationsin the USA.- Development of microsatellite markers for Brachiaria brizantha and germplasm diversity characterization of this tropical forage grass.- Functional genomics of forage and bioenergy quality traits in the grasses.
