Abstract
Tall fescue is an open-pollinated, perennial, cool season grass species widely used for forage and turf. Tremendous progress has been made in genetic transformation of tall fescue in the past decade. Methods for generating transgenic tall fescue plants have been developed based on biolistic transformation and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Potentially useful agronomic genes have been tested to environmental stress tolerance, herbicide tolerance and improve forage quality in tall fescue plants. We review progress in biotechnological improvement of tall fescue and discuss future molecular breeding of this species.
