Abstract excerpt
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is a highly valued temperate climate grass species grown as forage crop and for amenity uses. Due to its outbreeding nature and recent domestication, a high degree of genetic diversity is expected among cultivars. The aim of this study was to assess the extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) within European elite germplasm and to evaluate the appropriate methodology for...
