“…In a comparative transcriptome analysis, a stress-responsive protein has been identified in Lolium/Festuca species (Czaban et al, 2015). Recently, transcriptome analyses were done to study dwarfism to enhance dwarfing breeding in Kentucky bluegrass (Gan et al, 2016), drought stress response in creeping bentgrass (Ma et al, 2017), water stress (Talukder et al, 2015), lead (pb) stress (Li et al, 2017), and endophyte response in tall fescue (Dinkins et al, 2017), and to develop a unigene reference as a molecular breeding resource in Phalaris (Baillie et al, 2017). Markers developed from the reference transcript corresponding to the protein might be useful for MAS for stress tolerance.…”
