Abstract:
The 5th International Symposium on the Molecular Breeding of Forage and Turf covers various aspects of molecular breeding of forage and turf plants, addressing applications - among others - for enhanced quality, tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses; relating to forage grasses, their bacterial and fungal endosymbionts, as well as turf grasses.

Publisher Synopsis
From the reviews:"Molecular breeding of forage and turf is a collection of papers from plenary lectures and oral presentations at the 5th International Symposium on the Molecular Breeding of Forage and Turf that was held in Sapporo, Japan ... . will find an audience within the forge and turf community, particularly with those who were unable to attend the symposium. Overall, it contains well-written papers from experts in the filed and provides a solid overview of the current research topics in forage and turf molecular breeding." (Stephen Byrne, Annals of Botany, Vol. 104 (1), July, 2009) Read more...
