Abstract excerpt
Propagation and breeding of red clover ( Trifolium pratense L.) in Russia was initiated about 200 years ago but the origin of present-day cultivars is disputed. Some authors argue that most Russian cultivars were derived from western European ones, whereas others support a Russian origin of the cultivars from local wild populations. In the present study we assessed the genetic variation at 17 allozyme loci in...
