title = "Proanthocyanidin biosynthesis in forage legumes with especial reference to the regulatory role of R2R3MYB transcription factors and their analysis in Lotus japonicus",
abstract = "Proanthocyanidins (condensed tannins) can play an important part in ruminant nutrition both by increasing ruminal efficiency and preventing pasture bloat. In this chapter we discuss the control of this pathway by transcription factors and focus particularly upon genes of the bHLH and R2R3MYB classes. Results from studies using transgenic approaches, tilling and similar techniques are discussed here.",

Proceedings of the 5th International Symposium, Sapporo, Japan, 2-6 July, 2007. This book includes papers from plenary lectures and selected oral presentations of the 5th International Symposium on the Molecular Breeding of Forage and Turf. A wide variety of themes are addressed in a collection that provides authoritative reports on the recent progress and understanding of molecular technologies and their application in plant breeding. The book covers almost all relevant areas in molecular breeding of forage and turf as well as biofuel crops, from gene discovery to the development of improved cultivars.The Symposium includes keynote presentations from international science leaders in molecular breeding of forage and turf and offers papers in the following topics:Molecular breeding to improve forages for use in animal and biofuel production systems DREB regulons in abiotic-stress-responsive gene expression in plants Comparative genomics in legumes Characterization and utilization of genetic resources Functional genomics of forage and bioenergy quality traits in the grasses Genome mapping in cool-season forage grasses Improving selection in forage, turf, and biomass crops using molecular markers Fungal endophytes in Lolium and Festuca species Colonial bentgrass genetic linkage mapping Advances and prospects in the molecular breeding of Zoysia Transgenesis in forage crops; Molecular Breeding of Forage and Turf.
