Perennial grasses for turf, sport and amenity uses: evolution of form, function and fitness for human benefit

2006-06-01

Abstract excerpt

The history of genetic modification and improvement of perennial grasses used for turf and sport can be traced back to the earliest events leading to the evolution of traits such as perenniality, asexual reproduction by rhizomes or stolons, apical dominance and hardening or acclimation responses to environmental stress. Human influences on perennial grasses likely began with the dawn of agriculture and the domesti...
