Transgenic Bentgrass (Agrostis spp.)

  • Chapter
Transgenic Crops I

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 46))

Abstract

The genus Agrostis comprises about 125 annual and perrenial species that occur in temperate and subarctic climates as well as at high altitudes in tropical and subtropical zones around the world. Of these, four perrenial species with extensive or limited stoloniferous growth habits are used as important cool-season turfgrasses for golf courses, home lawns, etc. They include A. palustris, A. tenuis, A. canina, and A. alba.
