Abstract/Contents:"Those of us involved in science will have to increase our efforts to "educate" an icreasing skeptical society as to the long-term benefits of basic scientific research. The advent of recombinant DNA technology is changing all aspects of the plant sciences. This revolution will continue into the 21st century, with novel forms of plant resistances to pests, increased plant adaptation and productivity, novel industrial uses of plants and microbes, such as in the production of chemicals, medicines, and for bioremediation. Biology will find increasing turfgrass applications in the future such as the genetic engineering of specific desirable traits from other organisms into turfgrass varieties. Turfgrass research will place greater emphasis on environmental issues employing some of the latest biotechnology for the management of pests and stresses as well as in enhancing fertility and horticultural properties."
