| Abstract/Contents: | A collected work featuring 21 contributed papers. The chapters discuss, "four major areas where biotechnology promises to enhance breeding efforts developing turfgrasses that will meet the challenges of the next century. These areas include: 1) Turfgrass and molecular marker analysis, 2) Biological control, including endophyte strategies, 3) Genes with potential for turfgrass improvement, 4) In vitro culture and genetic engineering." |
