Genetic Engineering for Breeding for Drought Resistance and Salt Tolerance in \u3ci\u3eAgropyron\u3c/i\u3e Spp. (Wheatgrass)

Genetic engineering for breeding for drought resistance and salt tolerance in wheatgrass, lucerne and tall fescue is one of the main projects in major national programs of 10th five-year national plan: Research of gene transfer in plants and its industrialisation. The project is a large one that has the financial support for forage crops in China and many research institutes and universities take part in it. The Inner Mongolia Agricultural University is in charge of the project on wheatgrass. The research was started in Nov. 2002. The general situation and the primary results are introduced and summarised in this paper
