Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "identify the species best adapted to [a region] that also showed the most potential for rapid genetic improvement. Discusses research done with hazelnuts, reporting that "their small plant size relative to the other nut tree species, the huge genetic diversity available and wide inter-fertility of Corylus, and the ease of obtaining large numbers of hybrid seed." Notes that the study plans to "include the genetic improvement of additional perennial food and bioenergy species as [the] long-term program is expanded." Concludes that "through [the] underutilized perennial crops genetic improvement program, and other similar programs...it is [the study's] goal to make a significant contribution towards enhancing the sustainability and longevity of agricultural systems in the U.S. [United States] and around the world." |
