Perennial Lymegrass (Leymus arenarius and L. mollis) as Potential Crop Species for Northern Latitudes

The aim of the present study is to improve the perennial lymegrass (L. arenarius and L. mollis) for cultivation as potential cereal crop for Iceland as well as for other regions of native lymegrass distribution. The study will also provide cereal breeders with broader genetic resource containing sev...

Description
Summary:The aim of the present study is to improve the perennial lymegrass (L. arenarius and L. mollis) for cultivation as potential cereal crop for Iceland as well as for other regions of native lymegrass distribution. The study will also provide cereal breeders with broader genetic resource containing several characters of the wild species such as tolerance to extreme environments and perhaps resistance to pathological diseases.
