Abstract excerpt
The genetic basis of early-stage salt tolerance in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), a key factor limiting its productivity, remains poorly understood. To dissect this complex trait, we integrate genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and transcriptomics from 176 accessions within a machine learning based genomic prediction framework. Analysis reveals weak genetic correlations among four salt-tolerance traits and a...
