Infos

This proceeding covers all the collected research data and presentations from the 8th International Symposium on the Molecular Breeding of Forage and Turf. The book explores themes in molecular breeding of forage and turf, including abiotic and biotic stresses, bioenergy and biorenewables, comparative genomics, emerging tools for forage and turf research, functional genetics and genomics and genetic mapping germplasm, diversity and its impact on breeding, herbage quality, plant-microbe interactions and transgenic and risk assessment.

Written by renowned researchers in plant genomics, Molecular Breeding of Forage and Turf: The Proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on the Molecular Breeding of Forage and Turf is a valuable resource for researchers and students in the field of plant genomics.

Dr. Hikmet Budak serves as part of the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at Sabanci University in Istanbul, Turkey. Dr. Budak has published popular reference works on computational biology, and has published over 50 articles in peer-reviewed journals on biotic and abiotic stress response mechanisms, bioinformatics, and plant genetics and genomics.
