Informationen zum Autor MICHAEL D. CASLER , PhD, is a research geneticist with the USDA-ARS and professor in the Department of Agronomy at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. A member and former chair of the Plant Breeding and Plant Genetics program at the university, he's written more than 100 peer-reviewed publications, spoken at numerous international conferences, and developed and registered four improved cultivars of perennial grasses. RONNY R. DUNCAN , PhD, is a professor of Turfgrass Breeding and Stress Physiology in the Crop and Soil Sciences Department at the University of Georgia, Griffen. He's the author of Seashore Paspalum and Salt-Affected Turfgrass Sites , both published by Wiley. Klappentext Thorough biological coverage of all major turf species Turfgrass Biology, Genetics, and Breeding presents for the first time a comprehensive study of the various types of turfgrasses, their genetic and biological makeup, and the specifics of when, how, where, and why each species was adapted for use. The only book of its kind specifically addressing turfgrass science, this timesaving reference provides the basic biological explanations behind adaptation, genetics, and breeding of turfgrasses, following the evolution of these grass species up to the most current advances in domesticating them for turf. Edited by two leading experts in the field, chapters cover cool- and warm-season grasses and come from an international group of contributors that include the most notable and respected leaders in the field. Turfgrass Biology, Genetics, and Breeding is an invaluable resource for scientists, researchers, other turfgrass professionals, and students. Zusammenfassung The cultivation of various turfgrasses has evolved into a dynamic! GBPmulti-billion industry and yet there is still a real lack of information available for those seeking to understand the complex science behind its growth. Inhaltsverzeichnis PART 1. INTRODUCTION.
