Forage crops include several species of grasses and legumes that are widely used
as animal fodder in the form of hay, pasturage and silage, as well as for turf
and erosion control. Some forage grasses are also being considered for
bio-energy generation. In this book leading researchers review the latest
advances in molecular genetics and genomics; they also examine the success of
breeding programs for forage grasses and legume species. The book will be useful
for students and young researchers with an interest in forage, turf and
bio-energy crops improvements.
