Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alfalfa has been cultivated in many regions around the world as an important forage crop due to its nutritive value to livestock and ability to adapt to various environments. However, the genetic basis by which plasticity of quality-relevant traits influence alfalfa adaption to different water conditions remain largely unknown. RESULTS: In the present study, 198 accessions of alfalfa of the core...
