To evaluate the molecular mechanisms during pod and seed formation in legumes, starting
with the development of reproductive organs, we constructed two cDNA libraries from …

Sufficient codominant genetic markers are needed for various genetic investigations in
alfalfa since the species is an outcrossing autotetraploid. With the newly developed next …

Medicago truncatula, a close relative of alfalfa (Medicago sativa), is a model legume used
for studying symbiotic nitrogen fixation, mycorrhizal interactions and legume genomics. J …

The LegumeIP 2.0 database hosts large-scale genomics and transcriptomics data and
provides integrative bioinformatics tools for the study of gene function and evolution in …

Background Alfalfa, a perennial, outcrossing species, is a widely planted forage legume
producing highly nutritious biomass. Currently, improvement of cultivated alfalfa mainly …

A large set of genome-wide markers and a high-throughput genotyping platform can
facilitate the genetic dissection of complex traits and accelerate molecular breeding …

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is a global food crop with increasing importance for food
security in south Asia and other regions. Lens ervoides, a wild relative of cultivated lentil, is …

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 …

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 …

Background Medicago truncatula, a close relative of alfalfa, is a preeminent model for
studying nitrogen fixation, symbiosis, and legume genomics. The Medicago sequencing …
