Presents modern and classical aspects of cytogenetics as well as biotechnology in relation to the Festuca-Lolium group of grasses, used worldwide for recreational and agricultural purposes. Topics discussed include taxonomy and systematics, genetic control and plant improvement.
Presented here are modern and classical aspects of cytogenetics as well as biotechnology in relation to improvement of the Festuca-Lolium group of grasses. Festuca and its close relative Lolium are very valuable genera of temperate agriculture. These genera contain highly productive, nutritious and well-adapted grasses widely used for agricultural and recreational purposes worldwide. The book is organized into 15 chapters devoted to taxonomy and systematics; species evolution and divergence by increase in chromosome number as well as by change in DNA content; genetic control of chromosome pairing and its breeding and phylogenetic implications; B chromosomes, induced polyploidy and haploidy in relation to varietal improvement; wide hybridization, genome relationships, and plant improvement; genomic balance in relation to hybrid fertility and heterosis breeding; biotechnology and its potential applications in plant improvement.
