A genome‐wide association study approach to the identification of candidate genes underlying
agronomic traits in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) - PMC Back to Top Skip to main content NIH NLM …

Agronomic and quality traits in alfalfa are very important to forage industry. Genomic
prediction (GP) based on genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) data could shorten the breeding …

Key message We attempted to identify genomic regions controlling forage yield and nutritive
value in alfalfa. Several candidate genes and associated genetic markers were identified …

Medicago truncatula has acted as the model species for alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.
complex), which is the most widely grown forage legume worldwide. Improving forage …

Genetic progress for forage quality has been poor in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), the most-
grown forage legume worldwide. This study aimed at exploring opportunities for marker …

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is the most important legume forage crop worldwide with high
nutritional value and yield. For a long time, the breeding of alfalfa was hampered by lacking …

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is an important forage crop worldwide. However, little is known
about the effects of breeding status and different geographical populations on alfalfa …

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), a perennial and outcrossing species, is a widely planted forage
legume for hay, pasture and silage throughout the world. Currently, alfalfa breeding relies on …

Abstract Alfalfa (M. sativa L.) is a highly valuable forage crop, providing> 58 Mt of hay,
silage, and pasture each year in the United States. As alfalfa is an outcrossing autotetraploid …

Yield is the most complex trait to improve crop production, and identifying the genetic
determinants for high yield is a major issue in breeding new varieties. In faba bean (Vicia …
