Abstract excerpt
Many agricultural lands in the western United States consist of soil with high concentrations of salt, which is detrimental to alfalfa ( L.) growth and production, especially in the region where water resource is limited. Developing alfalfa varieties with salt tolerance is imperative for sustainable production under increasing soil salinity. In the present study, we used advanced alfalfa breeding populations and...
