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 fascinating genera contain
some highly productive, nutritious, and well-adapted grasses
widely used for agricultural and recreational purposes world
wide.
The book is organizedinto 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 inrelation to varietal
improvement; wide hybridization, genome relationships, and
plant improvement; genomic balance in relation to hybrid
fertility and hererosis breeding; biotechnology and its
potential applications in plant improvement.
It is of special interest to geneticists, taxonomists,
evolutionists, biotechnologists, and plant breeders.
