Abstract
The Festuca taxa of the Pannonian Basin are beautiful examples of environmental adaptation to specific climatic and soil conditions and genetic diversity within the plant genus. They are well adapted to grazing agriculture and summer droughts, after which their excellent regenerative capacity helps them to recover. For these reasons, and due to their vast territorial coverage, they are also of great importance to the national economy. However, in order to exploit their genetic potential, it is essential to separate the individual taxa on a genetic basis. Taking into account two important aspects, namely coping with drought and saline soils, we provide an overview below.
