Improvement of forage grass quality for future climate and agricultural demands
Climate changes, human environmental impact and increased pressure on global agricultural productivity constantly put new demands on high quality, environmental benign forage production.DLF‐TRIFOLIUM is focusing on developing next generation forage grasses with significantly improved stress tolerance, disease and insect resistance as well as improved performance under low fertilizer input.In order to meet these challenges we combine traditional breeding with genetic engineering, molecular marker systems, and advanced screenings for salt and drought tolerance and improved nitrogen use efficiency.Fructans are important for the quality of forage grasses, but the fructan content is known to decrease significantly during the growth season.The aim of this study was to analyze genetically engineered high fructan grasses for seasonal variation in fructan levels and to characterize the plants under drought stress.
