Abstract excerpt
Association mapping enables the detection of marker-trait associations in unstructured populations by taking advantage of historical linkage disequilibrium (LD) that exists between a marker and the true causative polymorphism of the trait phenotype. Our first objective was to understand the pattern of LD decay in the diploid alfalfa genome. We used 89 highly polymorphic SSR loci in 374 unimproved diploid alfalfa...
