Abstract: | Summary Forage and turf grasses are critical to sustainable agriculture and contribute extensively to the world economy. Tremendous
progress has been made in genetic transformation of forage and turf grasses in the past decade. The rapid advancement of cellular
and molecular biology and transgenic technology provides novel methods to accelerate and complement conventional breeding
efforts. This review summarizes the latest developments in genetic transformation methods and the applications of molecular
techniques for the improvement of forage and turf grasses. |
