This book was released on 2012-07-25 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 4th – 8th of September 2011, the Eucarpia Fodder Crops and Amenity Grasses Section, held its 29th Meeting in the surroundings of Dublin Castle in Ireland. The theme of the meeting was ‘Breeding strategies for sustainable forage and turf grass improvement’. Grasslands cover a significant proportion of the land mass of the world, and play a pivotal role in global food production. At the same time we are faced with several challenges that affect the way in which we think about this valuable set of resources. The population of the world is expected to exceed 9 billion by 2050, and increase of about one third relative to today’s levels. This population increase will be focused in urban areas, and in what are currently viewed as “developing” countries, meaning that the buying power of this increased population will be greater – shifting the balance of demand from staple crops to high value items such as meat and dairy products. Overall that the world will have to approximately double agricultural output across all categories of food to meet the demands of this larger, urbanised population. This is occurring against a backdrop of equally large challenges in terms of global climate change. Agriculture is already a significant contributor to e.g. greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation and soil erosion. The situation is made more complex by an increased emphasis on biofuels as a solution for our imminent oil shortage, resulting in increased competition between land utilised for food and fuel. In short, agriculture must continue to feed the world, whilst not contributing to damaging it further. It must be sustainable. Plant breeding plays a significant but frequently understated role in meeting the challenges presented by this complex and changing scenario. However, plant breeding and improvement is itself undergoing radical change driven by technology. This book explores how forage and turf breeding is changing and adapting to meet these challenges using the technological advances being experienced in plant breeding as a whole.

This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Research Topic is part of the article collection series - Adaptation Mechanisms of Grass and Forage Plants to Stressful Environments. Grass and forage plants serve multiple functions and benefits to humans and animals, such as beautifying landscapes, protecting the environment, improving human recreational activities, and providing feed for livestock and wild animals. There are growing concerns about continued global warming and increasing extreme weather events, which subsequently lead to frequent natural disasters and environmental problems. Compared to crops, grass and forage plants have evolved multiple mechanisms at physiological, biochemical, molecular, cellular, and subcellular levels to adapt to different environmental stresses such as high salinity, drought, heavy metal, insufficient or excessive light, extreme temperatures, pathogens and pests, etc. Increasing evidence indicates several main strategies for improving stress tolerance in grass and forage plants, including (i) natural metabolites or synthetic chemicals priming; (ii) application of beneficial microbes such as fungi and bacteria; (iii) biotic and/or abiotic stress priming; (iv) genetic breeding; and (v) traditional cross-breeding. A comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying these strategies may facilitate breeding for stress tolerance improvement in grass and forage plants.

Download or read book Forages Volume 1 written by Michael Collins and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 779 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forages, Volume I, Seventh Edition is the most comprehensive text available for teachers of undergraduate Forages courses. This edition will provide students with a good balance of scientific principles, to aid in integrating the concepts they learn, and practical information on forage identification, plant characteristics, management, and utilization that can be used by forage management practitioners. Grassland ecosystems are extremely complex, including the plant/animal interface as well as the soil/climate/forage interface and the text must support understanding and integration of all of these considerations. The coverage of the science behind the plant characteristics and responses make the book applicable in many parts of the world, while other region-specific management information relates mainly to North America. This edition has been updated to address emerging areas of study, including the use of forage plants as bioenergy crops. The editors also address the renewed national interest in environmental issues such as water quality, global climate change and eutrophication in the Gulf. This edition also addresses the role of forages for wildlife habitat and food sources, another area of increased interest in recent years. These revisions respond to the generational change taking place among forage scientists and teachers in recent years.
