Abstract excerpt
Breeding alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) with superior freezing tolerance could be accelerated by the identification of molecular markers associated to that trait. Dehydrins are a group of highly hydrophilic proteins that have been related to low temperature tolerance. We previously identified a dehydrin restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) among populations recurrently selected for superior tolerance to...
