Foreword
It is with pleasure that I write this foreword to the new book by Professor Gongshe Liu. Leymus chinensis (sheepgrass) is one of the most widely geographically distributed Triticeae grasses; it is an important forage and ecological restoration grass in China. Dr. Liu has a very broad understanding of L. chinensis across China and has been working on L. chinensis for over 20 years. His main interest is the system research and development of germplasm of L. chinensis. His research areas include forage genetic resources and molecular breeding and studies on the sexual reproduction mechanism and the molecular basis of biotic and abiotic stress tolerances of L. chinensis. Over the years, his research outcomes have been published in peer- reviewed scientific journals. He held 18 registered patents of invention an
