Abstract excerpt
Lotus corniculatus L. is a perennial legume valued for its roles in forage production, soil and water conservation, and landscaping. However, the limited number of improved cultivars hampers its broader utilization. In this study, we characterized the genetic variation of 23 accessions from diverse geographic origins using 12 quantitative traits and 29 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Quantitative trait...
